    Bed net is somewhat fitted. I think I’m going to look at the bed corner braces (ATH?) and tabs for the rails. Using the OEM cleats makes it fit loose.

    Installed Subaru kicker tweeters and alpine 6x9 speakers in my front doors. I’ll do the 6.5’s another day. It’s to damn hot out. The sound is so much better. I have 2 kicker subs behind the back seat but everything is so much clearer now. Love it

    Contact John Arriola with Accutune Off Road (johna@accutuneoffroad.com) - He dialed in my truck suspension ( I have 700# Eibach Coils with my Fox 2.5's)

    If you're in the New England area, and want a 2nd Gen with less than 40,000 miles on it, I am planning to sell my truck this Fall.

    Read my build log first, and then PM me for details, if this is of interest to you.

    Mods - sorry if this post is in the wrong place!

    I just gotta buy new coils, you have a lot more weight than I plan on for sure.

    Need to get them rebuilt too

    Accutune does an awesome job of rebuilding and they often have coils on clearance which they could mount/setup during the rebuild

    Been a full year since I installed the PS (magnefine) filter. Cant say if its the filter or the Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF or both but the fluid is still clean and bright red.. Was so used to seeing the normal PS fluid turning black in no time at all.. Whatever it is I think its working

    That’s the coil that comes on Fox 2.5’s and almost always gets swapped to 650 or 700 pound immediately lol. I bet they have a ton on hand, I have some too since I did the same swap

    agreed - that is why it is important to weigh your truck on a commercial scale (front and rear weight) and seek advice from shops like Accutune on the best spring rate for your particular/current weight. no sense throwing good money after bad trying to dial in yourself, there is a science to suspension, seek counsel from those that do it professionally and you will gain the biggest return on your investment
