hmm interesting.

always thought huntsville was in alabama.

 

had to base my new truck off yours and did some photoshop haha love this truck

 

There are quite a few states with towns named Huntsville, Alabama is by far the largest though.

 

Looks good in blue, that was my original pick for a color but the long beds are hard to come by down here so I jumped when I found a red one.

 

I see.

Don't know much about geography, being a truck owner and all.

 

its either blue or the dark grey for me, still debating on long bed or short. too many decisions haha

 

I only know because I end up driving through them on my adventures.

 

Great start to your build thread! Kinda makes me want to start one too.

Oh Long Bed FTW!

 

Hey neighbor, nice looking truck.

 

Thank you sir!

 

Small but satisfying mod. Because the damn USB blocks the cupholder when in use. Not anymore!

 

Went on a mod purchasing binge today:
Hidden winch mount from SDHQ
Warn M8000-S from Amazon
Warn wireless control pack from Amazon

 

Finished the SDHQ Hidden winch mount install with a Warn M8000-s. I didn't do a full write up but here are some pic's from the install. SDHQ instructions are quite easy to follow and their online video is even better but both only cover Warn Zeon Winches and I went with an M8000-s instead. As a result I focused on the control pack mounting images since I had to make that up as I went. The M8000 doesn't require the cutting of the center support like SDHQ calls for (Zeon winches are taller and hit the brace).

 

Looking good man! The M8000s is a good little workhorse.

 

Much appreciated! Love that winch this is the fourth vehicle I've owned that I've put one one on and I've never had them fail to perform.

 

Completed my Audio build finally! Went with:
Stock Nav Head Unit (for now)
Focal Access 6.5" components in doors with tweet's mounted in dash and on top of flat portion of sub box.
JL Audio 10TW3 d4 subs (x2)
JL Audio HD600/4 amp on Highs
JL Audio HD750/1 amp on Subs
Sub box and all installation built/completed by myself.

Started by removing the interior.


Installed the amps under the seats and installed the door/dash/pillar speakers.


Added sound deadening/insulation pad to rear cab wall.


Re-installed factory rubber mat on back wall then carpeted the wall and exposed floor where factory cubby's were.


Built/carpeted and installed sub box then put all the interior back in.

 

Subd! Great looking truck

 

Thanks, I don't do a ton of posting but I'll always reply and answer any questions. I'll get a better/updated pic hopefully at the Jamboree.
