    I'm pretty sure that's where the group I met up with was staying. I'm staying the whole weekend next year!

    How did you design the enclosure volume and port cross sectional area and length?

    It looks good, hows it sound?

    The design wasn't really planned. And as far as ports we didn't really measure lol. It just kinda...worked. It sounds awesome! I am thinking about selling the box though, as it's kinda uncomfortable to drive. I would love to have leg room back.
    It's off a late 80's ford ranger! I just did my own custom chop haha.

    The lip on my new silverado got ripped off last weekend due to driving through the woods + alcohol. I think I'm going to try and make it work on my yota!

    I know my jaw dropped when I seen that it's 2wd fenders and fits so good! Feels like I cheated with the 4x4 fenders for my 15x10s. My idol!

    Meh. Needs more low.
    I love it. Ashton really hooked it up
    Thanks bud. Swap yours over for 4wd for 2wd! The reward is so worth it.
    It was a late 80's/mid 90's ranger.
    It's the perfect amount of low ;)

    Jealous of your roads, parts would instantly remove themselves if I was that low here. Looks killer, how much was the steering angle affected with those meats?

    I really just want to take my bed off and just drive around like that. Your truck makes it look good.

    Hell, I really don't know lol. I know it still drove just fine though
    Do it! It really is a good look.

    For those of you who look...I sold the truck a few months ago. Had more important thing to take care of money wise. It still makes me sad to this day :(

    Buuuuuut, I starting a longbed build hopefully this weekend! It may or may not have IRS....just sayin
