    new toys.

    the lanzar weighs about 40 lbs and will have to sit sideways behind my new bucket seats and the rockford will power my door speakers the lanzar is a 500.2 so really bridged around 900 watts and on a good day the rockford will push out 100 watts per speaker to the doors. custom center console for sub and dvd navi next.

    You need a serious altitude adjustment. These frames camber a lot when dropping down, so those rims should tuck with only a little fender rolling needed. Looks clean. Need some black door panels? And a better steering wheel? I have a grant 3 spoke, and summitracing.com sells the adapter from grant to bolt them on. Or i have a stock wheel that doesn't have the little center spoke.

    It wouldn't take all noise away, but anything helps. Carpeting mine made a large difference. If I wanted to have kick panels and a back wall covering, I'd insulate under that too. But I like all the orange paint in the cab. I may do kick panels. Cab wall wont get covered.
