same here. I'm building kicks, but they don't sound right, so ive been driving around for 2.5 weeks with ghetto free air kicks. I can't decide if i should replace my HU or amp first... there are 4x4 parts that need some attention as well: rear locker, coilovers, more skidplates.

You are not alone. I'm slowly piecing it together.

edit: i forgot about my other hobbies plastic models, but i need to design scale unimog axles, rapid prototype them, resin cast them and sell a few to off set the cost ($250 + my design time)

i do one thing at a time. and don't start anything new till its finished. i don't see anything wrong with the way ur doing it. its probably easier in the long run, since some things require the same stuff to be removed and u don't have to put it back in to take it back out again.

what head unit do you have, or are you rollin stock?

as for rocky, just make it a chore to get at least a days worth of work done on your truck during the week. like wed nights or something, just as long as you schedule it and stick to it. you'll get her done, jsut takes commitment and patience.

There you go. I am the kinda guy that takes things day by day. I find it more benifical in the end. Glad to hear things are coming along nicely. Peace!
