Thanks for your input!!!

mine is .7 cu ft but when you get one you need to find a seb that is recommended for that air space. i have a bazooka sub which can work from. .3 to .85 i beleive. have had the sub for like 2 years i forget the specs. the sub to box match and the correct power to it all is key to getting the sound quality. i am going to redo my system sometime this fall and do 2 10's or 12's and put all the amps on the rear wall behind the seat. i just have to figure all the mods i need to do for this project and money is the big thing right now.

Yeah, I see that a kicker cvr 12 will fit the depth and has 150 RMS rating which is all I need. I am gonna look into the 1 cu ft. box

When using a roll pan you get a flip plate and a hidden hitch that stays behind the plate and is not obtrusive when not in use. Looks cleaner when you are not using it. Also my toy now fits in the garage by 6 inches, couldn't with the stock bumper and hitch.
22's, see I still can't count above 18 with out help!!!!

what does a rollpan cost and how do they install? and how much is that hidden hitch? right now i am sure it is all out of my price range. what did it cost for your nelson tune and how hard is it to install. thanks

I agree with the tail light covers...just a little too much. keep it simple and unique. The grill looks very nice, but the 2 inch drop and wheels is what really makes your ride stand out. Maybe later on you can look into a hardtop tonneau cover matching the color of your truck. That would really complete the exterior look. keep it up bro.

i think i am gonna take off the step bars, but the taillight covers i like and no one around here has them. everyone here had the eurolights and other shit like that, and i am not into that ricer stuff.

Roll pan $100 - $200 on eBay or better locally. Roll Pan Hitch $150 - $175. Money from selling bumper $150 +. Money from selling stock hitch $100 +. Cost to paint by friend $100 +. Installation less than an hour, easy. Final cost, prep and paint, less if you have a body man for a friend.

Nelson Tune.... went to his shop and did driving custom tune $425 +/-. Electric fan harness $75. If you do a tune across the phone he charges delivery cost and will not stop helping you until you are happy. You do have to return your old PCM. After initial setup is good you get 3 free changes per year minus the delivery cost so when you change the heads, cam, etc he will work with you until you are satisfied. email Blenderwizerd and ask about the PCM install as he has done his a few times.

Do the tune before you get to much farther as I did it for the mpg and I got driveability as a bonus.

yeah that doesnt sound to bad, and i know a guy that does body work pretty cheap for me, i may have to check into that in a few months when extra money is around. the nelson tune will have to wait for a while and see how the paychecks look for a while. probably next spring.

MPG sooner with tune, then looks....... Just Do It

[sportin83]

i like the just do it, but thats what i always due, but now the toys are getting more and more expensive. first it was 10 or 20 here then 50 or 75 and now 300 or 500. im broke right now so it will be a while. unless you want to donate to the im broke and need a tune fund?? anyone?? i will take money from anyone. haha

I agree with the step bars. What's the use on a lowered truck? It would look cleaner without them IMO.

I did just add a set to my truck, but it is raised 2" instead of lowered and my kids could no longer get into it by themselves. I liked the looks better before I added them but they work well.

As for the covers, if you like them, keep them. Build your truck the way YOU want it. It seems to be turning out pretty good so far with your own ideas. I'm not a fan of the euro-lamps either.
