Thanks! What subs did you put in there?

2 Kicker CVX 10's. They barely fit. Had to put grills on them, just the lips of the subs stuck out beneath the legs of the box. Its LOUD lol

I have to power bass single voice coils 10's. I had 2 diamond audio dual voice coil 10's in a downfire probox in my old truck. It sounded great but I sold them with the truck!

Those will fit in that box easily.

Well I have fixed my biggest peeve about the interior, my armrests! And for under $30 too! I ordered these off RockAuto, I just happened to see the category when looking for something else! These are Madera pattern in Toast color, very very close to the 95-98 beige interior color and pattern too. They fit very, very tight and to my surprise are padded, which is very nice!

Alright, I pulled my dash bezel to do a few things, wound up the SES bulb AND socket had been removed. Some people. So I ordered a new AC Delco socket and bulb assembly.

Anyway, also discovered that the air bag switch was beyond repair after breaking it from the trim piece, so I am scouring eBay looking for a whole new assembly, cargo light switch and all. Woohoo.

how did that oil work on your fuel guage? Would like a little more info on this, my fuel guage jumps all over the place like its on crack. Think I need to do something like this as well.

the armrest covers look great Chris, and I'm sure knowing you.... you probably got a stellar deal on them

Haven't done it yet, waiting on the stuff to come in.

I might have the cargo/airbag piece. I will know for sure when the truck comes home in 2 weeks.

Chris,
Where did you put your amp for the subs? After seeing how much room is left on the transmission hump I might have to put the amp somewhere else.
