What are your other plans for it? Just curious.

Yeah I'd say maybe 2 hours to get them installed on the truck including wiring harness install and routing, to build each headlight maybe 1.5 to 2 hours? So about 3 or so hours to build both headlights, but it probably took like 4 or 5 hours to carefully and precisely cut and trim down my shrouds to get them to fit. But that's for both of them together. So about 2 or 3 hours for each shroud. That only took so long cause I'm trimming a very little amount then test fitting, repeat until it fits perfectly.

Pics??? I'm interested lol. I'm trying to get ideas of how exactly I want to do my audio when I upgrade it. I know I'll be running all new speaker wiring, I'm not planning to use any of the factory wiring. I'll tuck the factory wiring away to keep from it being w jumbled mess. And I know I want a single sub, already got door speakers that I'm keeping in, and I want a double din head unit that's touchscreen. Other than that idk what I'm planning to do lol.

Oh yeah and also I only had one headlight apart at a time, when I was working on my first one, the other one was still stock and hadn't been touched. So if anything just run one headlight for a day if it came down to it lol. But if you did it on a weekend and started reasonably early, you should be done by that night.

Interior isnt quite finished. The box is just laying where the the split seat is behind the drivers seat. Currently is a TC Sounds Axis 12q1 witha 2.2cu ft ported box. Its tuned to 32hz. Pictures are on my phone.

Ahh okay. Well when you get the chance could ya post some up? I'm thinking I'll probably go with a single 10" sub, I don't want to go to big or have more than one cause my truck rattles enough as it is lol. Something in my dash rattles with every little bump I hit :/

And for amps, running a 4 channel amp for speakers then a mono amp for the sub would be best right?

I have fogs but don't use them (OEM fogs suck). With a retrofit I don't need them.
I don't have any light bars, but do have to LED cubes for my reverse lights.

I don't think the reverse cubes count though lol cause you only use them when your backing up haha.
