more progress
I dont even know where to begin. It seems as if this truck is fighting me the whole way.
Replaced the MAF, Plugs, Wires, Air Filter, Bushings, and finally we start some fun stuff.
Originally I had planned on keeping the monsoon amp and repowering aftermarket speakers and a rockford sub. Well that sounds like ****, so thats out the window.
Replaced the head unit with a double din android unit (spotify & waze) and now installing Rockford Component 1675 2 ways and tweeters in the front doors and a pillars... rockford 1675S 3 ways in the back doors. Replacing the sub with a kicker compx 300w RMS shallow 8" woofer. Polyfill the stock box.
Powering the amps with the micro 600.4 and 600.1... dual 4ga wiring kit.
Installed a backup camera. Ran the GPS antenna to the front of dash... ran the microphone to the factory onstar microphone location in the headliner.
This weekend I was busy in my garage. Did the following modifications:
Pulled front clip off to replaced head lights and fog lights. Clear side markers and clear turn signals with switchbacks. HID headlights HID fog lights.
Painted front lower bumper, rear bumper, and ground effects gloss black. hate the stupid textured silver.
Plasidipped the grille chrome... then ordered factory match Shadow Green (boy is this an impossible color to find) and painted and cleared over the plastidip. came out pretty spectacular.
Bought a new hood grille.... also painted gloss black.
Replaced the heater a/c controls, radio bezel, 4x4 switches and drivers window switch with units that actually light up at night. Have to tackle the remote start and finish out the audio install.
Stay tuned, I have quite an awesome surprise for this week.
