Picked up a Tremor, lots of fun going to be happening soon

Damn it Mike, You made me want one of those damn things now. The stance is just right. Very nice truck

Mike Probably got some Sponsors lined Up!  Z   

Nope all out of pocket myself, I've been buying used or refurb on ebay, hit up my old boss that still runs a car stereo shop for cost on the JL and Audiofrog stuff. It's weird doing this again after so long not building gigantic high end systems.

Late to the game here, but that's an awesome truck. Awesome!

I need sound deadening!!! I played with the crossover points (now around 45hz) and played with the gain. I can now audibly and physically shake the roof 1/2" or so, it resonates HORRIBLY but the bass is DEEP and CLEAN. The JL 13tw5v2-2 on the Rockford 1000 amp is HOLY CRAP loud (for my old ears). Still have to install the processor, top end amps and speakers but the bass is loud, my thoughts of doing a blow through are gone, no need at all. I can probably do a custom box full width around 3" deep for these two drivers and then build a custom amp rack above or below to make everything clean.

PLA printed prototype is done. I cut the sail panel on the passenger side to check. Had to remove the defroster duct for it to fit. There's a gap in the inside edge, we'll see if I can heat up the panel to make it fit, I've decided this panel will be replaced with a new one. I'll end up wrapping the panels in leather eventually.
The grill has indents for small round neodymium magnets and the posts we'll drill and glue in steel rods. The grill idea is to cover it in grill cloth. The next parts will be printed in black ABS that can be finished to a gloss black.
So far so good!

You'll kill me with your AWD

I will give you the hit. Lol. Just look for the plate.

Anybody looking at that license plate might be too distracted anyway.

Police love my plate, street light to street light Mustangs owners hate it, and good looking women usually give me a big grin.

I swear I have seen that one around a couple times.

Gen two, includes a cam lock on the straight side so that it can be screwed into place. Almost done!

Got some decent pictures last night for phone pictures. Maxtrac 2" dropped spindled showed up as well as 2015 upper control arms and lower ball joints so that I can replace the DJM control arms which causes the steering to rub and bind.
Ordered some double adjustable Vi-king rear shocks and when we swap out the front suspension the shop is going to build some mounts upper/lower to allow for some Vi-king double adjustable coilovers to be put on the truck, will have to take measurements and order. Really hoping to make a huge difference in ride quality, the Bell stuff is just STIFF, I'm looking for a much better ride. New rear leaf springs have made a huge difference but the shocks have way too much compression and no rebound at all from what I'm feeling.
