Went and bought the truck a present today while it is on sale at Canadian Tire.

37" Delta aluminum chest, perfect size to fit in between the risers of my hoop. And the price could not be beaten this week, cheaper than I could get one through work. Be nice to get the Rubbermaid tote full of engine stuff into the shop, and my recovery stuff out of the cab.

And btw, your pics inspired me enough last night, that today I fixed the transfer case in the b2 today and took her through a couple feet of snow. I did get stuck a couple times though due to the shitty tires, but once I get the lift and 33s on she will be a mean machine lol

 

[Andres629]

lift and 33s

You don't need lift for 33's.

The following picture is brought to you by Andres629.

New dash vent installed and after much fighting I got the Kenwood deck in finally. You guys should have seen the fun time I had. To begin with you all saw the wire I had hanging out of the dashboard, half aftermarket and half OEM. Then the deck Andres gave me was was installed in a vehicle in a similar fashion, but at least these wires made sense. Then after I get knee deep in the dash I see that there is already some RCA cable s and stereo wire. I follow the wires and see they go into the passenger kick panel. I popped of the kick panel and i see this little bitty amp. So right now I have the RCAs going into this amp but it isn't fused up at the moment. My plan is to run a splitter off those RCAs, use the stereo wiring that i there to power some speakers in my console I'm building and run the other set of split RCAs to another amp that will just run my sub. Next thing I did was pull off my rear speaker covers to see... no rear speakers. Luckily we had a nice set of Kenwoods in stock. So I bolt the new Kenwoods in the back and start thinking I should check if I even have front speakers. I removed the door panel and see an older Kenwood underneath, which I decided to keep in there. Turns out now after using them a bit they may be a little blown, good thing we have another set of the speakers I put in the back in stock

So right now I would consider myself done stage one of the stereo install, next stage will be the temporary box with my sub and amp. Then stage 3 will involve me building that center console and adding the center front speakers. Since they will be amp driven I think I will use the set of x9 Sony Xplods i have kicking around. I know they work and I know they work awesome. So stay tuned for next weekends wiring fun-time.

And that toggle switch is for my "play and charge" iPod integration device. So far though the truck sounds pretty good.

I really like having music again, like Gerry said on Saturday when I was a sreamin' demon trying to get this done, "You really don't want to listen to your own thoughts anymore, do ya?"

I'll take some pics for stage2 but i can't wait until stage3 when the real fun begins. I picked up the RCA splitters today so next weekend should be a good one
