    I have Alpine amps in my car and truck and have used the built in line level provided with the amp successfully. I'm in the process of adding a 4 channel amp along side my sub amp so I will be using an LC2i in this upgrade. Hardware installed so far.

    Got the paint can out this morning for some more interior customizing. Painted the shifter knob to match the rest of my interior trim pieces. I think it turned out pretty well.

    First thing is use a small pry tool to pry the back piece of the shifter knob off very easily. There are two clips that hold it, along with some type of adhesive on the top. After that I used some adhesion promoter spray to spray it, so the paint will bond better. Then spray some primer, after that use your basecoat. After everything is dry just pop it back on and you’re done. Pretty simple

    Finally figured out how to remove this trim piece. Definitely wasn’t easy, had to get a little mean with it for it to come off. For sure made me nervous, as I thought I would certainly break it. Now I can finally finish all of my interior painting

    I pulled the rear bed stickers today and got everything cleaned,clayed and stripped ready to install the new all black version from US Rallystripes and took a step back and realized I like it naked. I cal always add the decals later but I really like it the way it is.

    And finished! I got the last trim piece painted, now my interior is complete. However I would like to swap out the red start button for a black one. The red just doesn’t go in my opinion.

    Always looking to modify! Check out my Instagram @TacoPandaTRD
    Those look great! That’s the exact setup I want but with black rims. What size tires and what lift?

    I bought this to add an amp to the stock unit before I changed it out. Was maybe installed for 2 months and worked great. PM me if you’re interested in it.

    Too much.
    Vinyl wrapped my amp cover to prepare for a good sticker bomb, then remounted. I'm going to sticker it with bands I've seen in concert - then I realized I'm going to have to put the following on :

    The Wiggles
    Laurie Berkner
    Whitney Houston
    Panic at the disco......

    Fuck that lmao

    Basically you just have to pull it off. It’s held on by like eight Small clips. Just start with the edges prying up. Then work your way to the middle. You do have to pull kind of hard and you will feel like you’re going to break it but I didn’t have any issues

    What are you guys using for front-facing cameras? I've been looking at the one from Runnin 4 Taco's, which comes complete with all the wiring, relay, and double throw OEM style switch. Are there any others out there that are of the same quality, in a complete kit like that anyone would recommend?

    I'm not too keen on buying several bits and pieces to try and make something work.
