    Niiiice. I cleaned my MAF a couple months ago.. I think I need to do it again or clean my filter.. somethin.. my mpgs are down a bit. But, I was using Shitty gas and just switched back to top tier 91 and It feels and sounds like its running better.

    That's what I was thinking. I've seen some do their console and it wears off in a matter of months so I was just gonna use the Wet Okole cover on it. Was thinking about getting some extra neoprene fabric and doing the grey cloth on the the door black.

    Right on. Didin't know the Wet Okoles came with extra fabric. Was it enough to do all 4 doors if you get front and rears? I hope to at least pick up my fronts with the group buy coming up next month.

    With our group buy last year it was kinda like a little gift along with the full cleaning kit for them. I actually still have enough to do 4 more doors and they gave me a "half sheet" just gotta ask for it. go big or go home dude, get everything all at once :cool:

    Yeah, my plan was to get a full set but I kinda dipped into those funds for a set of retro's lol. Got a good deal on some from a member on here and couldn't pass it up. FX-R d2s with gatling shrouds, they look good. Hid's should be here this weekend so I hope to have them installed Saturday. Just wish they had the halo but oh well, maybe the next set, lol

    I bought about 15 ft of plastic conduit, and 2 different color 14g wire with two 1/2" ring terminals. I actually used about 10 ft of the wire since the CB has wire already coming off it. i got a 4' firestick and mounted it to a bedrail mount i got from a GB on here

    ill upload some pics of my set up in a bit

    sweet man. thanks. I went direct to Firestik and got a kit. includes a Firestik II, mount(im gonna mount mine on the driver side bed pillar by the tailgate), and coax.

    picking up my PA speaker, external speaker, and extra wire tomorrow. cant wait to see pics. :)

    oh, did you move the fuse closer to the battery? i read that that will cut back on the feedback.

    also, how did you run the coax?

    gotta fix those wires coming off my stereo for the rear backup cam and all but I have the uniden external speaker mounted to an existing screw up underneath the plastic below steering wheel
    [​IMG]
    And the 4' firestick is mounted driver side behind the cab. the mount is from "desert guy" and works awesome!
