Brandon Jolley Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Fairly new to the form and have loved all of the information that I have been getting from all of you. It has been 20+ years since I had anything to do with Car audio and it has been fun coming back and learning all over again. Please offer advice or criticism that is constructive, might be slow at times but will try to update as much as I can. I traded this for one of my old commercial R iding mowers and decided to try to set it up with a system and go to town on it.This is what i have to work with, it is in great condition.

Brandon Jolley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 My wife asked if I was going to sleep with these when they arrived cause I was so excited. Didnt sleep with them but I tucked them in our bed to get a laugh out of her. Here are a few of there friends that came in a few days latter. I have a bunch of pictures that I have taken over the past few weeks that I am just getting everyone caught up to where I am at today.

Brandon Jolley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 Got the Head unit installed, ran my stock speakers off that for a few weeks before I was able to get the Hertz High Energy Series 6.5 Comps in with the Audison SR4 to power them.

Brandon Jolley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 My Stock doors getting ready to get customized. I am going down to salt lake city for the weekend, to have my Cousin help me with these since I have never played with fiberglass before. Getting the look that we want. Done for the Day, got the cloth all covered in resin and letting it harden over night. We covered the window crank hole with water proof cardboard cause I am wanting to convert to Power windows so we figured now would be a good time to start that process. Here is where we left off for the weekend and I had to head back home to Idaho. This picture is a picture I took after I did the window upgrades. I had forgotten to take a picture of them before I left salt lake City. We put primer over the glass so it would not itch me as I was driving it back to Pocatello, ID. We just have to bondo, sand, sand, sand, sand and then sand some more before they are ready to cover in a black Vinyl. I am also going to be re doing the interior black and red. I have to wait to go down to SLC to finish them.

Brandon Jolley Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 Next I needed to start prepping for Sound Deadening the cab of the truck. I wanted to make sure that this thing was solid,so i went 1 layer of a liquid Roll-on deadening material call spray dead, and then another layer of a peel and stick on deadening material. This is after 2 layers of the spray dead material, this stuff worked great and was able to get it into the inside of the door and cracks easy with a paint brush. Then I did the peel in stick deadening material next, didn't want anything to rattle one bit. Next few pictures of the cab floor and my wire runs.
