thorridder build thread

I just want to say, Thorrider, that removing those stickers was probably the best mod in this thread. Way to be... Way to be...

Looks so much better.

well i would say tires and basket with lights is the best because i use them the most. but ok whatever.

Looks good man! Now you just have to finish that 2nd Gen Tire Carrier retrofit, and you'll be cruising in major style!

Did you spray your emblems while they were still on the truck?

 

[thorridder]

yes, i know it looks like crap but i got over it pretty quick. didnt work like i thought it would but might fit it some time.

picked up a new clarion double din touch screen deck. traded it for my amp. pretty nice and didnt take much to get it in.

NICE! I've been wanting a Double din Unit for a while....thinking of going with a JVC with the color change option..... Just have to wait for my current JVC deck to crap out! lol!

i think its pretty cool, just have to figure out the play dvd while driving thing. min being a 5 spd i cant hook the wire up to the park brake, so i dont have vid at all :shrug: but i did find a cd in it though haha

Just ground the parking brake line and you should be good to go.

yeah thats what i hear, then hook it to a switch in the glove box so if a cop asks flip it when you get the papers out. im doing it tomorrow. found the manual online tonight.

Just curious..... Why do you need to watch a DVD while driving???

i dont plan on watching it while driving. passengers would probably like to though. but having it play when out camping or something would be nice. stuff like that. having it at all would be nice, really been wanting one for the backup camera because when i get the tire carrier on i wont be able to see s**t, and backing to a trailer it would be nice.

My gf loves it because she's not so big on long car rides, so it's nice to be able to pop a movie in for her.

alright well replaced the inner tie rods today. was hard to say the least. passenger side went so so once i figured it out. driver side nothing went right. the boots were torn so i put a set of shock boots on.
