I actually live outside of Gentry, so I'm in the same county as Garfield! Fayetteville is pretty good -- growing very, very fast!

Yes, I would LOVE the dimensions of everything Hohn.

I will have to clear out some space in my gallery for my truck pics. The Power steps and Fluidampr go on today!!

Nice lookin truck there, Brother.

Gee, what If I spent that kind of money on my (t)rusty 02?

The MC looks good on 20s, but 33s are too short, imo on that size wheel. I'd either go with 35s on 20s, or 33s on 18s, but I'm **** like that and you prefer a little more of the low-pro look than I.

I figured you'd do something mo-beddah for tunes, and you didn't disappoint. I've never heard the Focal seps, but they must be primo if you got 'em. I'd do 8s or 10s for subs, not 12s-- but I like the tighter hit of smaller lighter subs, and I'm willing to give up the last couple hz to get that.

YOu got the looks and tunes down, now you gotta fix that lack of HP!! For REAL! Crank the wick up until it will get sideways at 40mph-- then go another 100hp

The Smarty will be the end of you-- the power delivery is a drug that no one can resist.

Nice truck. I'm missing mine more and more. Hey, it's only 3 years, right??

While I'm in hawaii, I'll be rolling in late-80s import style. $3K doesn't buy much these days on the island Then there's always the Hayabusa option...

I'll call you once we get settled in over there. For now, I can just say I'm sick of roadtripping, and LA isn't for me. In fact, all of SoCal is just a foreign country to me, but that's another rant....

Aloha--

Again, congrats on a great truck! We need to get these modded Megacabs together for a photoshoot!
I have a 12L7 in mine love it I remember we tried lots of speakers but didnt have enough room I wanted to be able to recline the seats still

Justin,
The 33"s were bought when the truck was stock height, otherwise I probably would have gone with a taller tire, but Melanie being pregnant has a REAL hard time getting into the truck as it is!! The boss originally wanted to go with a 6" lift, but I told him that the 3" was plenty for me....

The 12s actually sound really tight with the tremendous crossover tuning ability of that Kenwood screen. I was going to get an external crossover (much like I had in my old show cars) but after seeing what the decks can do now, it was tuned right! I really can chatter my ears when I want to, or with a touch of a button, mix it in perfectly with the mids and highs that can blend in the best classic rock to sound great!

The smarty is on the Christmas list. I think the boss is going to give us $1000 to play with a piece and I think that is what I am going to use mine on....I am sure that a new tranny will be right behind it...


blessings on the move, and hope all is well in Hawaii

You are right, I think I might look into a chrome or carbon fiber kit!!

Thats what ill be doing when i replace mine with a very similar unit to yours.
Any pointers on where to get the factory dash piece with the factory navigation?

That is a good thing. What I did was one 12 behind the smaller seat so the big seat would have full recline. The small seat only has one or two clicks on the recline. But I wanna make some changes again I need some more bump like what I got in my boat.. You know how it is never satisfied...
