Day 1


First Mod: Billet Grille
moar chrome plz



I had a Flowmaster 40 muffler welded on in place of the stock muffler.


and an exhaust tip for looks


Next I did the deck plate mod combined with an AFE Pro Dry drop in filter




Parents bought me an Alpine Head Unit and Infinity door speakers for Christmas


I then purchased 2 8" pioneer subs and an 800W pioneer amp from a fellow TW member in a box that fit snug behind my back seat.



Bought 2 4-LED Map lights (cool white) and 1 9-LED Dome light (red) from superbrightleds.com





16x8 Moto Metal 951 black wheels awesome graduation present


Few days later the Bilstein 5100's showed up in the mail, set at 2.5"




Got bored one afternoon so I purchased some VHT Nightshade and Krylon clear coat and went to town on my tail lights

Looked nice for about 3 years then started to peel off.




Wheelers 1.5 Inch Add-A-Leaf Kit and rear Bilstein 5100 shocks installed





Plasti-dipped my badges and grille. came out great. Also replaced the TRD bedside decals





Waiting for my TRD emblem to come in the mail to put on the grille



Wet okole seat covers. So comfy


At last 285/75/16 BFG All-Terrains




On go the Eibachs, Bilsteins back down to 0"


Plasti dipped the bumpers




Dakar Leaf springs and Nitrocharger sport shocks, way better ride than the stock springs with an AAL and 5100s. Dumped the exhaust

I still have not made one, i want to wait to get a better suspension upgrade

 

I think your truck looks awesome already. any opinions about painting my billet grille black?

 

haha i honestly haven't adjusted the amp because i dont want to stand outside in the heat... but when i have some time ill play with it

 

Hello,

I like the job you did with the subs. Wondering how they are holding up for you since some time has passed. Are they still awesome? Any install issues now that some time has passed?

Also, Did you have the boxes made or could you order them from somewhere? What did you do with the jack?

I too, have a double cab and your thread was the only one I could find on installing bass in the 1st gen double cab. Any insight warmly received and good on ya.

The subs are still holding up perfectly since the day i had them installed. The box was custom made and I actually bought it used from another TW member. My jack and all the other tools are inconveniently being stored under my passenger seat but I plan on mounting a tool box in the bed to store everything in.

 

Lookin good, Ryan!

 

today just had sierra expeditions install my rear 5100's and wheelers 1.5in AAL

 

Hell yea! Great Lookin truck Ryan! Can't wait to see it in person

 

Pictures! I am looking to do this same combo.

 

Looks good nice sub box
