My son and I installed the Dobinsons snorkel this past weekend. The install was not too bad, just took a little time with the on and off making sure the fitment is correct, which if you follow the template it is perfect. Some of the flare clips were broken, so we addressed that before we could...

We installed the Alpine iLX-W650. It is a great headunit. Does everything we needed it to....Car Play, bluetooth for phone calls, etc. So far, we have only installed the back up camera. I'm not sure we will mess with a front camera unless I can figure a way for it to automatically turn on. It...

We are about to take the aftermarket hitch off of my son's 06 2wd. If you were in the Houston area I would hand it off to you.

I think the -6 offset was the perfect fit for the 12.5" wide tire. They barely stick out beyond the fenders and did not require a ridiculous amount of trimming. We are super excited about the look. My son is looking forward to rolling into school this year. We have several more things to do...

We took the wheels and tires in to Discount Tire on Saturday. As soon as we got them home, we got to work making room. We mounted up the rears first. We removed the whole mud flap and trimmed away the actual flap portion that hangs below the bumper. The tire was just resting on it. The inside...

Suspension: RC 3” M1 series lift, stock UCAs Wheels: Mayhem Compass 8305 - 17x9, -6 offset Tires: Cooper Evolution MT - 35x12.50r17 Other: BMC, front bumper trim, rear mud flap trim No rubbing :) I have a 1” body lift on order with Toytec, but I don’t know that we are going to install it…when...

The new tires were dropped off yesterday evening....a day early! First time ordering tires through Amazon, but they were the best price anywhere and came straight from Cooper. Taking them in to get mounted and balanced this weekend.

I don't have any close up shots, but I will have the panels off again soon to run the speaker wire to them from the amp. I'll grab a better pic then. With the crossover that is included, there is a thin wire coming out on one end that plugs into the tweeter. The other end would essentially plug...

The wheels showed up today...tires on friday! My son loves them so that's good!

Our son turns 16 tomorrow. His godfather sent down some Weathertech floor mats and a bunch of Chemical Guys car wash supplies. He and I regularly washed our trucks when we were in high school and college, so he thought it fitting to set him up with some gear to do the same. My mother-in-law...

Tires have been ordered. Will arrive next Friday.

We finally decided on a wheel so I got those ordered today. We went with the Mayhem Compass 17x9 -6 offset. It is pretty tough to commit to an offset without knowing exactly how it will fit. My biggest concern is clearing the UCAs with a 12.50" wide tire. I didn't want to go crazy with the...

I finished putting the temp enclosure together. I have some bedliner material I will roll on next to make it a bit more presentable. I built it to the JL specs for the 10w3v3. I went to give it a quick test and the amp didn't turn on. I think I need to improve the ground situation. I grounded...

On Saturday we got the rear speakers installed to finish out that portion of the process. We will be back into the doors soon though to run the speaker wires from the amp. I thought about going straight to the wiring harness behind the dash, but I realize that I am a gluten for punishment...

We got the new front speakers installed yesterday. JL Audio C1-650 series 6.5" component set. I apparently got the wrong speaker brackets for the rear doors from Crutchfield, so I ordered those on Amazon and they should be here today so we can get those speakers installed.
