New to the world of Lincoln, and Navigator ownership, but longtime Ford owner. Some of you may remember me as BlackPlatBDS with the monster 09' Platinum F150 but anyway I stepped away from the Truck/SUV world for a bit and tried to love a Jeep. Needless to say I am now back and in a 2015 Lincoln Navigator that is black on black, twin turbo ecoboost and loaded for the most part. I can say that I am absolutely loving it and very much so enjoying the changes they have made to the Navigator for the 15' model year. The V6 simply amazes me, and moves this beast very well. Looking forward to testing her out with the boat in tow and being back in the seat of something commanding.
Lot of plans in store, and dropped her off this afternoon for some work with 215 miles on the odometer. Having the 3M bumper/hood guard added, front windshield and driver/pass windows tinted with 15% and the the rear tail lights and rear running hatch light all tinted out as well.
Installed some 22's the day I drove her home, and currently I think they are tasteful and compliment the vehicle very much. Didn't want to go to big but def wanted to make her my own!
Next up I will be installing a stereo system, which for the most part is on order, but a custom box build has to be decided on before anything more happens..... Anyway, sorry for the rant, just excited but on to some pictures. Any questions please just ask! I don't see many at all on the road, black on black was a hell of a hard task to find, but would like to think there is more interest out there for this vehicle as it really is a great refresh!
Let me know what you all think. Hope you enjoy. I will get interior photos, and updated photos of the 3M/tint work tomorrow or the following day when I get my new toy back!!
Purdy ride, BlackNav. I removed the other thread you started on this since we ask that you not create duplicate threads on the same subject. It tends to expand the forum to no good purpose, making it harder for members to use.
Bowesmobile,
Thank you sir! It was a pain to find one with the black/black in Texas but I waited her out and it happened. Could not be happier!
On another note, my Sundown 12SAD4's came in and they are better than expected. Amp didn't make it yet (SCV-2000D, 2k watts at 1ohm), but all is well, got to figure out a box and get it built! Hope to jeebus I don't need to upgrade electrical.
Should have some pictures tomorrow of the tint/light work, and 3M clear bra. Get it back tonight at 8pm can't wait!
Thank you very much man! I look forward to the system build as well. Good news about that is I finalized a box design today and will start the build process this weekend. No MDF here, all birch.
Also, got her back from getting the tint work done. Here are some pics, not the best but they will do!
Feedback is welcome, she is coming along!
And here it is hard to see, but the entire front end, half the hood, and fender sides were all done with 3M. Rock chips be damned!
And the box is coming together very nice! have to get the inside painted black, did the ports in a metallic silver and plan to LineX the outside once everything is finished and cleaned up. 46" wide, 15" height, 20" deep. Double baffled, glass both front and rear, LED's, tinted the glass bronze to get a silver lighting effect. All my thanks got to Cherryman as he built this awesome thing!
Got to figure out an amp and battery rack now..... but pics! Not yet complete but nearly. Oh and the SA stands for Sundown Audio, also happens to match where I live, San Antonio.
Finally got some time to work on the ride. Got everything in and working and thought I would post up some pictures. Sounds great so far, but a lot of tweeking is to be done. Got a XS Power 6500D and the wiring needed for a big 3 upgrade on the way as well.
Need to get the box LineX'd and build some mounts for the equipment to sit on. It never ends.
It is coming along well, and thanks for the comments Moss. I have flipped the subs back to traditional mounting and it honestly sounds much better, also ordered another XS D6500 to mount in the rear to match the one going under the hood. Once both D6500s are in I plan to rerun the wiring as well and build a false floor that the box and everything will mount up to. Just waiting on my good friends at UPS to show up 👍
