    It’s pretty ratty. I also lost patience with it when taking it out and just ripped the squib wires out of it, so it might not be okay lmao

    It’s an OEM Audio+ sub. I’m still debating taking it apart to see if it’ll fit under the back seat.

    I didn't catch the second photo on your FB post (if it was even there). You've got leg room for miles, all things considered.

    right? I’m 5’10” and I was comfortable. Center console is kinda annoying though.

    more like helmets :rofl:I don’t want pool noodles to ruin how aesthetically pleasing the cage is

    What did you end up doing with the floor? Carpet, rubber mat, bare metal?

    Probably gonna do carpet. I think it’ll look infinitely better than rubber, despite the downsides. It’s currently just dynamat on top of grody OEM sound deadening and years of dirt, with a layer of matte black spray paint on parts of.

    fuck em, they should be thankful I even gave them a seat and seatbelt

    Front PRP 5.2’s showed up today by surprise, so I dropped the truck back off to get the rear seat welded into the cage, as well as the harness tabs welded on, and the dash bars put back in with tube clamps. Should be done tomorrow and ready to rip. I do still want carpet in there soon though. And an alignment lmao

    The triangular ceiling pieces, are those structural support or just to improve the visual aesthetics?


    Did the door jams get painted grey? Or was that the original color?

    You're crushing it but now I think it's time for some updated pics of the build: exterior from all angles, engine, bed, interior, suspension closeups, etc. And soon enough some action shots!!
