    Gunna do probably another with a Bluetooth amp and rechargeable battery. But here’s current parts list.

    Any ammo can (Walmart $8)
    Walmart 4” speakers $19
    Amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0077IA57Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2EPWAb0ZPCCGR

    Input wire - https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...ahUKEwixyM-evJzaAhWDTN8KHcuiDc8Qwg8IJg&adurl=

    Basically measure and cut holes for speakers, amp to speakers, input to amp, amp power to 12v.

    I’ll do a detailed rewrite on the Bluetooth with battery pack. But all in all I’m in it MAYBE $50?

    I did a real quick 1200 grit and then a alcohol wipe down then rustoleum BBQ black as it dries mad quick and the rest of my truck is covered in it. Also did the center console cup holder thing the same way. It dries with a great matte finish. I use it on my rims as well seeing as there is no need to mask a flat black tire from flat black paint, touch ups are quick and easy.

    It was actually very easy. Disassemble the leaf packs, cut off the rear alignment wrap tab and install the new leafs. I used a 6” Irwin C-clamp which worked great.

    Forgot to install this ADD shaft in the clamshell swap... noticed right away when I didn’t have 4wd any more. On the plus side I am super good at removing the entire front end now.754338DC-CEC1-4944-8742-CCEB23A96F39.jpg

    no one did. I bought a bronze single. SCS most recent shipement did not include bronze, and I was not going to wait until mid may to get a whole matching set. Im not worried about the off color. They kind of look bronze if I dont wash the truck..
