the thing ive wondered, is with you guys with blowthroughs, if you sell the truck, how do you repair the whole to make it look stock/good? just get a steel plate and weld it on?

You can do alot of things. be creative bro. Are you asking this cause you plan on geting a truck and maybe selling later?

Doing a blow-through in a truck is like putting a wall in a car - you'll ruin the resale value of the vehicle either way.

if you wanna run a big system then get all that you want out of the truck. then when you are ready to sale, go buy some cheap stuff and use that as a selling point. otherwise like Wingman said your gonna lose value.

Stainless pop-rivets and flanges. Then seal with automotive seam compound.

jeep what you cut out and have a body shop weld it back in.

Advertise it as "Dry Storage"... for those that want to travel in the truck and keep their baggage dry. Kind like a truck trunk. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
