Saw one of these trucks today.. Didn't like the driver too much. . . but I thought the truck looked familiar for some reason lol.

I have never seen one before though lol

So today was pretty much a wasted day. Its been pouring rain here again all day so I can't really do any work on the pods. I did go to a few local fabric stores looking for suede but had no luck. One place had faux suede but it was paper thin and looked real cheap. I found a couple more upholstery places that may have it that I will go to tomorrow. The reason why I don't want to order the suede online is because I want to have these installed by the weekend and I don't want to pay to have over night shipping.

Yeah they are pretty rare especially the ones with quadrasteer. I see a couple beat ones around town sometimes and there is a kid that has one who thinks he is the shit because he has 22's on his.

Find some leather or vinyl to match your interior, or have it dyed, and wrap it with that! More durable and is easily clean if somethin gets on it!

Weather here was crappy again today windy and cold as hell but I did manage to test fit the driver pod and start sanding it down. It literally clears the dash by a **** hair only bad part is the shape is not perfectly symetrical with the passenger side as I had to put a small dip in it. I also tracked down some suede today. I bought a piece of real suede as well as micro suede (stretchy). I don't see any way of doing the real suede without a seem, I just couldn't get it right. The micro suede will work and doesn't look 1/2 bad. I can always re cover it later. Should be installed tommorow afternoon.

Well I got them wrapped and mounted. Only thing left is to pull my back seat to get to my amp and make the connections.

Well I just finished wiring up everything.... Only to find out that channels 3&4 on the amp are bad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I bought it 2yrs ago on ebay and never had a chance to use it til now sooo I'm screwed. I do however have the first 2 channels running the Beymas so at least I have somewhat of a front stage. This sucks

Forgot to mention I have engine noise from hell. I'm hoping its from the amp considering I ran all my signal wires straight down the center as I always do to avoid this. If not it could be from my head unit... **** Pioneers

Yea I dunno if its a sticky either but I know there is some good info on it with some searching.

Get a bare piece of 16ga or 18ga or so wire and wrap it around all the RCA plugs tight to the body of the HU and then wrap the wire under one of the screws on the body of the HU and that should ground the RCA's to the chassis. Its not the cleanest way, but who is gonna see it and it is quick and dirty to see if the Pico fuse is indeed blown.

Doors look sweet. Not sure how keen I am on the color of the mid and the black contrast but the work looks sweet. Maybe with a few more black inserts in the doors and interior it could pull it all together.

Bottom

Top with cut outs for flushed lexan

1/2 inch lexan painted border and edges, all pre drilled

Should have it all finished and carpeted possibly in the truck by tomorrow night. Can't decide if I want blue or white cathodes inside the box, I have both colors, any input?
