    Haha, sorry to hear that. It would sound better if it was the 5VZ, mine has the 50 series dual out and sounds pretty good.

    That's is what I plan to get, I just don't want to drill holes in something and end up not liking it...

    Yeah, I have the plastic bedliner too, and don't want to drill through it...

    I'm thinking about getting something like this and mounting it to the bed rails in one of the back corners. I'd reinforce the bed rail too.

    I can't wait till Thursday. Aka payday. Now I want more tone. Should I just delete the rear cat and run a sim? And put my 14" magnaflow back on?

    Just dump your 14", plenty loud enough to me. Don't mess with the cat...

    My next mod should probably be getting all the fly guts off of my bumper

    I finally installed the AEM wideband o2 kit that I've had for about a month. It went pretty smooth and only took about an hour, with welding the o2 sensor bung in too. I'm glad to have that up and running, now I can start tuning the fuel for my supercharger kit. :headbang:

    Greased my shackles. Thought they were squeeking but I think it's coming from my passenger side shock. My buddy was the one that installed it while I did the driver side. Either he torqued it too much or he didn't grease the bushings enough. Or both. I'll take it off next weekend most likely. Loaded up the truck and im leaving early tomorrow to catch a limit of 55 salmon :cool:

    The back glass is approx. $300. Not to bad I guess but still.

    Didn't catch on the door, it caught on the top of the door opening (top plate I guess it's called). Surely keep tabs on the position of yours. I've almost done it before and caught myself.

    I can rig something and have full intentions of doing sooner than later. I was thinking of getting a hoist from Harbor Freight...one of the elec. ones. Right now it's still on my truck...broadcasting what an idiot I am to all those that know what they are looking at....haha

    Installed a new Odyssey battery. Had to make a new hold down bracket. So I cut a piece of small u bar I had. Made a few relief cuts then welded and ground down welds. Put some keeper plates on bracket so battey can't move. Hit it with some flat black and added some foam to bottom of bracket.
    Also did grey wire mod and pulled tranny to replace clutch I burnt last weekend. Will be doing rear seal while in there. Now just waiting for my buddy to surface flywheel.

    The Marlin Crawler. Every one that has one seems to be very happy with it.
