    iPad in dash build

    ^That looks great! I'd love to have an underseat sub box. The behind the seat box looks like it will pound the air out of your chest. I've made a serious stereo upgrade since I posted last. I chose to go with a stock stereo... but the stereo came with a new truck as well. LOL They old truck...

    Thanks for your quick answer. Please keep us up to date as you make progress on the truck. The truck looks amazing, btw

    iPad in dash build

    I love this. I have also thought of doing my cd player section like this to mount a tablet. Sonicelectronix.com sells a bluetooth adapter so you can send audio signal directly to your amp inputs so you wouldn't need a head unit at all. I can't remember the company that makes it off the top of my...

    1989 GMC extended cab long bed work truck: Lowering

    I'm going to revive this long dead thread to prevent from creating a new one that covers some of the same topics. I'm also looking at doing a 4/6 drop on my Ext cab but I'm wanting to use 2"spindles and 2" springs. I'm still running the factory chrome steel wheels so will my LCA need to have...

    92/94 Led gauge install (for) best results

    So.... in the vein of "what can go wrong,will", I pulled the cluster out again, sanded the back of the display to get true white light shining through rather than the green and swapped the LEDs around. I have full white light across the entire gauge but now only my upper gauges work. Both the...

    92/94 Led gauge install (for) best results

    I'm going to revive this long dead thread because I just did this today. I bought the white LEDs with twist locks from ebay,10 for $7.65 and free shipping. As we all know, LEDs need to be installed in a specific polarity to work. As we all also know, Murphy and his laws are always near us when...

    6x9 speakers

    I understand completely.

    6x9 speakers

    5.25s aren't too different than 6.5s when it comes to sound. I can handle those. What size amp are you running on yours?

    6x9 speakers

    I'm looking to upgrade my rear extended cab speakers. Will the 6.5s not fit under the trim, even if the structure under the trim is modified? Also, is anyone running amplification on their minds and highs?

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    Those panels look great. My panels are indeed the super flat ones. I like that, though. If I were to put speakers in my door panels, I obviously would have to cut them up and I don't know if that would add to the over all look of my truck I'm going for. I have a set of kicker 6.5"s with grills...

    Ashtray spring

    Mine doesn't have that wide of a flat spot to mount additional outlets there. Yours looks good;if someone didn't know our trucks, they'd think it was a factory fit. I've been busy getting things ready to leave for vacation all this week so all I've managed to do it just buy my outlet and get it...

    Ashtray spring

    My ashtray did the same thing. I've decided to add one of those universal 12v outlets that most parts stores sell to the front of my center console about midway down. It will be close enough to give me more slack for my phone charger, I won't have the cord draping from the dash to the console...

    Ashtray spring

    My ash tray has the same issue. I've considered putting one of those aftermarket 12v outlet things in the front of my center console facing forward so it easily accessible, plenty of cord left for my charger, but not in plain sight. BTW, my center console is one of those uni

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    That's pretty damn smart. These door panels don't have any speaker cut outs at all so having a lone tweeter in the center of a door panel would look wierd but if I added a component set like DF2X4 said, it'd be a nice touch. Super Dave, the metal insert would actually be a great quick fix for...

    Front brakes not going back on?

    Here in Tennessee, we get some road salt in the deepest parts of winter but for a car to get severe rust here it's extremely rare. We get mostly base of fender or cab corner rust because of leaf buildup holding moisture in those hard to access spots. The pull a parts or pick and pulls get their...
