Truck is looking good man

Thanks bud :party52:

There is a pretty slick BRZ in my apartment complex I will have to get a picture of for you.


Also I think I may go pick up some of that rustoleum soon. My hoe could really use some!

Oh yesss I have a weakness for BRZs and RX-7s from 2000 back and of coarse the majestic 90s Supra haha

Nothing to exciting, got some pics of the interior. Stock expect for the Alpine 143BT I put in so I could use my iPod and hands free calling lol. Not really going to put any stereo stuff in this truck, I have a dedicated SPl vehicle for that.

It's a little dirty but hey it's my DD, only things wrong with the interior is that the driver seat sags from being worn out and the rear cargo area has a few scratches in the side panels from sliding things in and out. Besides that it is free of stains, cracks and torn things. Got to say for 15years old most of this truck looks as good as it did the day it left the dealer.

If you use POR15 make sure you top coat it with something as UV rays will break it down :)

Ah thanks for the heads up. :)


haha no secrets here, she is out of commission at the moment. Batteries are toast and I didn't feel like dumping 2 stacks into a car I barely drive. Esp when I got this new burb to play with haha

8 - OA V2 12s walled at the B-pillar on Crossfire 8k all stuffed in a Rodeo. Plays a very wide band in 150+ range. Built it to be musical, so the port is not setup for SPL numbers. I added 2 -10s per front door and some Dayton Reference Series for mids and a couple high end tweets to round it out, front stage got about 2500 watts total.

In the last 2 pics you can see when it was a C-pillar wall and it could hair trick all four windows. We slide it forward for the finals to see if we could squeeze a few more db on the meter but no luck, so i never finished the trim panels cause I want to rebuild it into something else. Moving it forward did shrink the cabin space and change the peak by a few HZ, but that only made it seem more violent it didn't actually increase the spl on the dash or in the kick.

:emotions133: I approve!!:roflbow:

I'm a bit of an audio guy myself

I have 3 image dynamics amps in my Tahoe
1 q1200.1
2 q700.2 for front stage. Have 175@4 on tap per mid as well as each tweeter. It is clean

I hear ya man, I bet that does sound nice and clean. I will probably switch out the stock speakers for Dayton Reference series and deaden the doors and cargo area in the burban and that will be it. Craziest it will get would be adding digital crossovers and amps to get that clarity and building a custom enclosure in the rear where the factory sub and jack are. I would gut that whole compartment and make a really long enclosure in there for 2 8s.

Back to the burban, haven't been doing much work, waiting on parts and I have been busy doing some much need work on my reef tank.

Grabbed a few pics this morning before work, me and the Jeep park next to each other everyday. It has a butt load of stuff done to it.
For reference Burban on 33s with level, Jeep is on 35s not sure what lift he has.

Jeep looks like a 2.5" Budget boost and cut fenders. Doesn't take much to fit 35's on a JK.

Burban looking Gooooooooooooood!

Thanks man!!! I am definitely happy with how it's coming along, not sure what will be happening next. My sights are on a 1.5" BL for the HD front swap, still need HD hood and get the bumper plastics color matched and back on along with an adjustable panhard bar and some shocks and new rotors and brakes. Those things alone will be over a grand so time will tell. The next things would be motor and drivetrain upgrades which are being put on hold until the old lady and I acquire new jobs and move out west, looking to move to Washington or Oregon, at least that's the goal.
