Should have some updates pretty quick here. Dash is almost all sanded down, been helping my boy gettin a iPad dash on his Durango. But soon soon soon, starting the doors pretty quick also,

And the best part! The guy who's wiring my truck up will be picking it up this week and I should have it back within a week, I'm guessing , not this weekend but next weekend we will start building the box!

Then if for whatever reason I dont have my iPad then im gonna put this dock somwhere and run the USB to the rear of the head unit, I ALWAYS will have my iPhone with me therefore if i dont have my iPad i will always have a source for music. I HATE the radio.. lol The red RCA's are for the EQ and the head unit to be linked up

photo13.jpg

needed a new lower valance

photo25.jpg

sadly ended up needing a new 4.3 motor but that should be finished up today.. old motor had 143xxx miles, and was a stock 5 speed, swapped in this 90k 4.3 with a 4l60e(auto)

photo34.jpg

all my money i was planning on droppin on rims and paint went to a new fuel pump, the labor for the motor swap, the new motor and trans, new cluster, new driveshaft, steering column, new crossmember(wasnt compatible with the auto trans), had to also buy a e-brake cable because it was snapped.. a lot of shit has happened the past month or so and just MURDERED my wallet, thats why i havent updated the build... but hey, thats life. anyways, should be getting the truck running today, dropped the fule pump in last night, just need to wire up a 02 sensor, drop the driveshaft in, make sure everything is good, then put the column and new ebrake in and we will be in business... today will be busy none the less. but ill finally have my baby back and we can get this damn install on the way...
