Any updates on this rig?

I did finally get around to upgrading my sound system. I did an Alpine Head Unit, with Polk Audio 6 inch Components up front, and Polk Audio 5.25's in the rear. I added a Kenwood 700 Watt amp, and 2 Kicker 12's in a Sealed box.

The Head Unit

I am ordering a 3/4 Roof Basket from Whitson Metalwork, a new Catalytic Converter (Mine is ****ed), and a Borla XR1 Muffler

The install Process

My next mod will be replacing the POS Power Antenna for a non power one of some sorts (Advice would be appreciated.) Also I am ordering a 3/4 Roof Basket from Whitson Metalwork, a new Catalytic Converter (Mine is ****ed), and a Borla XR1 Muffler.

4runner looks like its coming along very nicely! How do you like that headunit? I've been considering getting that model for my 4runner.

 

[DizzyDoyle]

Great looking 4Runner man! Very clean. Love what you have done so far and I can't wait to see where this goes.

 

[yotallycrazy]

I love the stance.the subtle lift is nice for a change.the white turn signals and side markers set off the front nicely.

If I had one comment it would be to paint the the lower part of the front bumer in a dark dark black so that it matches your little pin stripe/trim on the side.

I love my head unit, I kind of wish I had gone with a double din, just for looks sake, but the cubby hole is nice for my sunglasses and cell phone. As far as features are concerned, I love it, its easy to operate. I've always been an Alpine man.

I will probably do this at some point, because the likely hood of me being able to do the bumpers this year is looking very slim... I appreciate the compliments though.
