DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Very nice, plug and play or what?

 

not sure yet but i will let you know they should be the same size as the factory speakers but only time will tell. But its a long over due upgrade... still have the 11+ year old stock paper cones in the truck

 

I hear ya! I got done doing some sound deadening in all four doors and it helped a ton. Really makes me want to upgrade the stock speakers and put an amp on them as well.

 

I went with Marine Grade stuff just in case water gets in the door again....

 

Thanks for posting that! Let me know how it turns out and everything. I have been looking but wont pull the trigger on the upgrade for a bit.

 

What sound deadening material did you use and how much did you need? I'd like to line the doors at the very least.

 

I went with RAAMaudio Rammat and the Ensolite foam.

I bought a Package 1 and a package 2 from them as I still have the headliner and some of the floor to do. I have a ton of left after doing the doors, back wall and under the back seats. So I should have enough to do the rest.

If you want to do just the doors... I would get just a Package 2 and then you would have enough to do all 4 doors and even the back wall more than likely. Package 1 should be enough to do just the doors but I am not 100% sure.

 

Maybe, if I don't get it done this weekend I have a buddy lined up to help me on wednesday.

 

Good info. Thanks!

 

Back doors so far super easy and here is the difference in speakers

 

No problem! Once I do the headliner I will see how much I have left over.

Front doors are easy as well. Just a couple extra steps to get them off.

 

Finally got my IFS Skid mounted this morning. Just had to drill two holes in it to be able to tie the front aluminum skid from the bumper to it in the back. Double the protection, double the fun!

 

Wait....

What?

 

I bought @jorasanu10 old bumper. It had a front plate that connects to the bumper. It bolted to the factory braces for the stock skid plate in the rear and the bottom of the plate bumper.

I had to remove those braces for the SOS skid. I could get a new plate made to tie the bumper to the front cross brace but drilling two small holes in the skid was the easiest option for now. I lose a little clearance the way it is now but not any less than I had before.

 

Such a nice day out decided to finally tackle the caps. About cut through my finger when the dremel got away from me a bit.

Thanks again for the caps @SuperBad

 

They look sweet man! The alignment of the screws that hold it on look much better after your test cap.

 

When are we taking it out?

 

Its time

 

You say when.. ill be there. We will just need to convince at least one 4x4 to come with

 

Shouldn't be hard to do
