the rig Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I was just curious as to what you guys have added to the interiors of your rigs to make em more suitable for what you have the truck for....... I wish I could post pics but I am about as computer literate as snoop dog at a spelling bee for archaeology. So heres my list, mind you all of my installs are discreet and professional as I am an auto tech and perfectionist and conveince minded person. 1000 watt power inverter mounted in the rear compartment. midland 1001 cb mounted just below the custom sony head unit. also have an external speak for the cb hidden 4 D cell mag light mounted to the headliner just behind the dome light (all color matched) hidden handgun pocket beside the center console full custom stereo with two 12's (rockford) Power distribution grid in the cargo area for any dc current needed things custom box that holds tools, spare parts. etc... that is easily removed and light weight. future plans. racks that will hold spare cargo, guns, or other items that need to be tucked away. Full tint job just to keep cool in the summer and avoid some prying eyes. hidden air compressor and working on a first aid kit that will be integrated like the newer Xtterra's. Also working a compartment for a 72 hour kit just in case something ever happens while I am out in the wild or need to be on the road immediately.

FLApathy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah, um, lets see... -One FUBAR'd steering wheel cover thingy (that plastic crap behind the wheel) -No gove box (stupid broken latch) -One ruined headliner (PO smoked) -2 15" subs and some boston speakers (my bro threw it in there for giggles, its coming out when somebody wants to buy it or when I lift it) -broken center console (stupid cheap hard plastic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'll leave stereo stuff out because that's a gimmie usually. Converted LED dome light (not a replacement LED bulb, I soldered about 13 8K LED's in there myself) Custom light switches T-case shifter knob CB under dash Battery in the rear in a box Cargo net on the rear hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Previous Owner - Levo-guage over top of my trip meter , - awesome quality switch panel w 4 switches (one controls front Roo lights, the other three are TBD, but prob a set of rear back up lights, a set of side lights, and a master switch for my inverter so that I can hide it away better) - Same broken column surround as prev poster - an old sony deck (worked, but pretty basic) - old no-name amp that actually drove my 10" sub pretty good - broken center console. Since I bought it: - Rockford Fosgate headunit and 8 disc changer, with aux input, outputs, video control, etc. - matched 2 ch (sub) and 4 ch (speakers) pioneer amps - 10" sub and box - PS2 - 7" widescreen - inverter to power PS2, and other goodies when required - full home made console, amp rack, and dash center to accommodate Entertainment equipment - removed rear carpet and laid down rubber matting (until I rhinoline the entire interior) - 2 drawer add-a-drawer top chest (goes between top chest and bottom cabinet usually) with full set of tools - 5% tint on rear 5 windows, 50% on front Thats it. I plan on redoing the console and dash and stereo set up. Right now, if I get into more than 3' of water, I'll fry my electrical, so after the SAS, I'll do a computer relocate, and move all of the stereo components except the headunit to ceiling mounted locations (including a flip down mount for the monitor). The headunit is where the center air vents are at the top of the dash, and if I'm that deep in water, I'll probably be having to rip apart the whole truck anyways, so I'm not too worried. This truck is a DD/Rig, and while my GF doesn't like wheeling, she does like camping, so if it's a long drive or a Poopy night to sit by a campfire, we can always toss in a DVD or play some video games. Plus it's the factor when someone see's a PS2 in a wheeling rig. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I see ya got Snoopy tailgunnin' for ya I thought about adding a shelf in mine like that, but it would hang too low if I put it in the rear like that (speakers in the roof), and be a headache to a rear passenger if I went in front of the speakers.

mws Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) "I was just curious as to what you guys have added to the interiors of your rigs to make em more suitable for what you have the truck for" Let's see... - Maxima seats (more side bolstering, more lumbar, multi adjustable) - Grant steering wheel 'cause the cover on the old would twist - Switches to control electric fan and extra lighting - Nice Stereo (Alpine, Polk, PPI, Clarion, etc) with XM radio - Very HD sub enclosure with mounts for hi-lift jack - CB - More and heavier duty 12 Volt outlets and terminals to power spotlight, hi volume compressor, etc. - Solar charger in side window to keep battery topped off when sitting. - Pretty serious FA kit in ammo box - Lots of tools and spares (just in case). Need to mount these more securely. - Serious power wires (dual 4 AWG welding cables) and terminals in rear so I can use winch on the rear. And several tie down straps to secure cargo when off-roading! Need more tie down points, though.... Edited August 24, 2006 by mws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
