Tried them out today. Holy crap i love these lol. I still need to mount them a little better in the kick panels but they sound great!!! I want to add some speakers behind the seat to get a more full sound though.

How much did you pay for the speakers? I was looking into getting components for the front and replacing the rears with some decent ones. My sub is too over powering for what my little stock speakers put out

Nice truck dude. Nice to see someone local..ish. I'm currently going through a similar process with my project, frame resto, and 5VZ swap instead of rebuild. Feel free to check it out, link is in my sig. Also I love your street sign skid plate, very resourceful!

Thanks Lewis! One of the other workers at work noticed it and thought it was wicked funny haha.

I work in Plainville, and you are only 20 minutes away from there. Maybe we could go wheeling or something. Im interested to see your engine swap progress.

Awesome. If you need a hand with your build, let me know. Do you need an engine stand? I have one you can borrow if interested.

So i am waiting on the shocks to get here. They should be here Friday from 4wheelparts. I ordered Pro-comp ES9000 shocks. 150 shipped to my door for all four =]

I am also going to be looking at a truck cap tonight. The one i have just does not fit right. This cap has the exact dimensions as my truck, so it should work.
here is a pic:

I will end up painting it black somewhere down the road lol

I ended up buying the cap from the guy. Turns out i went to school with his son, so he gave me a deal.
Here it is when i got it home:

I had to give it a good bath when i got it home. I also had to put new pistons for the door, the old ones were shot. Luckily i still have my other cap with good pistons and a working lock, so i just swapped everything over. I will be selling the other cap soon. This cap fits so much better, probably because it came off of a toyota pickup haha.
Got it on the truck:

Here is a pic of my truck at work last weekend:


My shocks finally came in, here are a few pics of them installed with Rancho boots from advanced auto:



I took my truck for a little test run on my local trail, got the truck a little dirty:

And yes i will paint the cap black to match....eventually

Thank you for the compliments =]
