Well this weekend was a very productive weekend to say the least!
After alot of $$$, and a short little weekend, Its done and the mods are on.
Pics will soon be posted I forgot the camera at home. The mods complete are:
1) Code SRT9000 car alarm/remote start
2) Pioneer Avic D3 w/ Bluetooth adaptor
3) Self lowering tailgate(few silenoids,Ezee Down Tailgate assit and Thanks Azmidget91, and Myst for the write ups)
4) Roush Grill

So there you have it, my little weekend project.

 

Sweet!

Did you put any new speakers/subs in with the AVIC-D3?

Now if you could create a self-closing tailgate, that'd be something cool!

Well as of right now my truck has the audiophile package. I plan on upgrading the rest soon but I bought a flex polisher instead of speakers for right now. Its funny you say that about the closeing tailgate idea. I am currently designing a system using an electric acutator to raise and lower it. I am in the middle of drawing the brackets to send to the plasma cutter right now. I love having acess to cnc machining, sometimes it pays to be an engineer.

 

Nice, I've also got the audiophile and it's pretty good but this weekend I'm going to do a major overhaul. New speakers all the way around, 10" JL subwoofer and a 300/4 amp for the highs and a 300/2 amp for the sub. I'll hook it all up to a Pioneer CD/MP3 head unit until I save up for the AVIC-F90bt

Sweet! I can't wait to see how it turns out. How fast is the actuator and how much force does it have?

Damn skippy! It sounds like you might be an ME, are you?

Bump, any progress on the tailgate closer?

ha ha no, I kinda got caught up in work and my audio build, I will be slower now so I will get back to it. I am thinking about an actuator at which might as well be used as a down control as well.
