    Small Update*

    Well I traded the tool box that came on it, for a very nice tractor supply low profile black tool box. I also sprayed the frame with gloss black rustoleum and put on my craven speed stubby I still had in the box from totm. :peace:

    Here's just a quick pic.

    Also on a side note, Im pretty impressed with this stubby. I still get all the channels i listen to except my main rock station :( ,but as small as it is, I still get all of the channels I listen to except one and there nice and clear. I plan on getting sirus xm, so loosing the rock station won't be to big of a deal. :peace:

    Your welcome Jo.
    I loved my former audio tech / automotive electrical
    jobs but they didn't love me.

    Thanks guys! As we all know threads are useless without pics so...

    Looks like a bomb went off in there, but I got it all cleaned up now.

    Then wrestled the seat out... that was a pita.

    Panel off..

    Thats about as far as picture wise I got, I was out there for 12 hours wrestling wires and the dang truck parts. I have to get some more speaker wire for the rear speakers before I can install them. There is a huge difference between the old pioneer 3 ways in the back and the amp powered 2 ways in the front though.

    Heres a picture of the new head unit installed and the old I pulled out.

    New speakers on the right and old on the left.

    And I just got these in as well plus a set of clear depo fogs. :banana-mario:

    Pop the fogs open and paint them like Dylan did his.

    Thought about it, but now that there in there, I'm leaving them in there. They were a pita to put in. You wouldn't think it, but ford put everything in the way they possibly could.

    Anyways got the headlights, foglights and raptor lights in. Also finished up the stereo. My phone switched to some blue picture mode :facepalm: so bear with me. I'll get better ones soon.

    Stereo all done and cleaned up. Seats back in btw.

    Also got my new front bumper pad in, so I can finally get that painted and on the truck. :peace:
