RF600 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Grabbed the speaker boxes out of a pick n pull. The ones that go over the rear fender wells in back. It was half off day so that was a bonus. Now I gotta find a place to put an amp, hidden, and get a couple speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yesterday I tore up the carpet...... Removed the rear carpet, including what goes over the seats, it was super gross and have other plans for it. Also removed what is over the rear wheel wells. I use it as a pickup with a perma-topper anyway! Today I towed a travel trailer 25 miles. Yeah, with no reverse. I had to go up quite a steep grade. The transmission was especially hating its life. 4500rpm with the throttle pinned going 40mph, well, probably more like 45 since my speedo is a tad off now since I'm running 33s.

feyded Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Bought some JGC springs(I had the choice of the UpCountry package springs or the regular ones, I chose the regular ones, figured 32% stiffer wouldnt make it too comfortable.. wouldnt mind someone chiming in letting me know if they like them), need to cut the pig tail off now. Hit up the junkyard and bought a skid plate and a cluster(that doesnt fit my truck, of course!).. and bought tools at sears for the pathy.. Nothing to the pathy, but stuff for her rather.. now I need to find the time to install the UCA's, coils, and new shocks to lift her =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
