story of my truck

just sharing past to present pics for visual enjoyment, and anyone who is doing a mod and may have a question or two

my first mod


felt like it needed chrome BACK THEN


it was in october when i did this, like 3 years ago. had fun with it, inspired by the semi's with the teeth on the grille


the oem 4 speakers that came on the truck sucked so i got work

i don't have dimensions, but i remember i started my making a side profile and modifying it till i had space for 2 12" flat woofies, stuffed the crap out of the box with polyfill tho, the box jacked the seat up a bit from the front so now passengers sit at an angle

hey tbear! i haven't noticed any changes in the way my a/c runs, did the appropriate mods of cutting and drilling to get it to work, then i fabbed some mounts that mount on the hood latch bolt attached to the fender, and screwed it to the cowl, inspired by stealth when he did his install following this tutorial. i have the link saved on my desktop, i'll send it you when i get chance, pretty much the same concept i followed

oooh almost forgot the thing that i sorta frowned upon was that the washer nozzle for the windshield shoot lower now
