Ok, I'm finally making my Build Thread

I suppose I could start there, thanks
I have a buffer lieing around somewhere.

You might want to think about the wheel spacers. I think they would look cool, but I know several guys on here have tried them and not liked the way they drove, so took them off. Also, you have $100 budgeted for them (new right?); that is only for a pair. You will need 2 pairs to space all 4 wheels (unless you are going for the mismatched look, which I don't think is a good idea for an on-road vehicle).

Not trying to bash wheel spacers here, just playing devil's advocate a little bit.

I actually just received them a couple days ago, I did only order two. Plan was to throw them on the back tires to give it a bit of a staggered look, shouldn't affect the way it drives much if they're not up front.

Well, it will affect your lean angle. I am not sure if this will even be noticeable, but it is one of those things that I don't want to discover while travelling at highway speeds. You might be fine though. Have you seen others do this on DD's?

No, just tyring to do some original mods to my truck like the dual exhaust out teh side thing

Props to you for trying something different! :girl:

Awesome dude.

One thing-- you should find a better place for the speaker.

You won't get the best output there (best place IMO is the bumper), but the biggest problem is if water finds it's way there.

If water pools inside there, it will destroy your speaker in no time. You need to mount it facing down or to the side, making sure it's at a good angle where no water would be able to get stuck inside.

Sooo uhhh
I installed my speakers, they sound great. But I fcked up the tweeter houses pretty bad with a dremmel....any opinions on how to fit em in there without f&*)9ing them up next time?

 

[NickF]

Installed the LED 3rd brake light today. No pics on this sorry, will get around to it.
Also installed the rear spidertrax spacers, looking MUCH MUCH better IMO!

So today I put some decals on, washed it and tok pics of the CB install like I was requested to. i think I went a bit too much with the decals, any ideas what should go and what should stay? Or does it look ok?

New back thingy

[fightman80]

My 2 cents, the back window looks great, but I'm not feeling the "Got mud" decal.....

 

[PalmettoRunner]

Truck is looking good Nick, I agree with fightman on the got mud decals, the ones on the back look good though! :thumb3:
