btw at a comp in davenport, IA a month or so ago i got 1st in street db 1-4 no wall non trunk. metered 137.3 everything sealed and 138.3 with drivers door and window open passenger sealed

looks great man!!! I'm watching the vid now. How does it sound? I'm always impressed with these small cabin truck builds, keep it up :good:

thanks and i didnt even see this comment srry. it sounds pretty good to me. some rattle but i cant do much about them. they are the actual frame and glass that i cant reach to do anything with.

I approve of this build!

thanks bro wouldnt have been possible without ur help on the box. many thanks.

ill try to get a few more vids and some new pics.

next part on this is either performance and exterior looks or i wanna do something with new speakers and try to fiberglass some tweets into my doors. the ones i have now tho are pretty good for me they are plenty loud for HU power. might have to get one of those inline amps to hook to the deck for a bit more power if nothing else

How's that sand/paint holding up? It looks like it turned out really well!

What kind of performance/suspension mods have you been thinkin of? I'd love to just do a simple 2 inch lift to my Dakota to make it a tad more aggressive, but I've found that there's hardly any aftermarket support out there for these trucks.

The pain it's doing great. It sucks to remove the sub tho because the gasket melts to the paint and peels it. Im working in some mods right to the box and amp.

Suspension wise idrk. I found a 6" full suspension lift but it's like $1500. What I wanted to do tho is some 17/18" rims with a aggressive bite tire. But that's still around $1300 and I probably won't have thIs truck much longer. It's getting old

I have the same problem with the gasket on my sub! I made sure to sand down the baffle where the gasket goes the last time I had my box out, so we'll see how well that works out.

There was a Dakota around my area with a solid axle swap on coils, and it looked AMAZING! I'm sure he had at least 7-8 grand into it though.
