That is a very sharp looking truck, I really like what you've done.

Thank you, im just trying not to overdo mods.. Now just waiting for the gears and the front grille to be delivered. Also planning for a tune, very soon, and maybe an exhaust.




As for the SWC, i didnt have the time to fix it last weekend, maybe in the coming days along with the speakers. Stay tuned

I did spare myself sometime today and got around the SWC.. i did the proper connections, went over the installation guide step by step and it worked!
The only inconvinience, is that the module has an option of 2 functions per button, and i knew, after getting everything together, that i should have programmed it for the second function to work. Well that wont happen anytime soon.





I also would like to add the module response is very fast, sometimes it lags but compensate it.

Since i did the SWC install in a jiffy, i did this as well






New Rockford Fosgate Prime Vs. OEM

I can say that the difference isint that big over the OEM speakers, i wanted at first the RF P1683 but i bought these instead at a good deal.


I also took the opportunity the clean the door panels from the inside.

And i got some HIDs installed today.
It was sudden, actually i went for the car wash and they had a little accessories shop, went in out of curiosity just to kill time till the truck finishes his bath, i ended up buying the kit.
I know it seems somehow stupid to have HIDs without the lenses/projectors, but i actually do like the way it looks and their brightness.
I first wanted a 4300K but they werent available so i took the 6000K.
