Default New pics... and upcoming mod(cb console/fiberglass build)

Well I added an extra alpine CDA 7894 deck to run Marine speakrs in the bed when camping. Speakers havent came in yet. Also ordered a marine 4-channel amp to power the coaxs for the bed. With the amp, I wont have to run any wires through the truck to the back except rca's.

Next I added an old school Alpine H701 Dsp, KCA 620m, and KCA iphone hook up. I'm in the process of using a fiberglass console to have my: cb, power inverter, switches, 3usb ports, and a deep cell battery.

I havent got much done today, its been 30 here, so fiber-glassing wasn't an opition. But here a few pics of me making template and checking connections.

The Inverter will have 4ga welding cable, and be able to pull 15amp at 120V, so it will be able to run any power tools and some small welders.

And i'm adding green accent lighting and leds to everything... Just in honor of Browning and MTZ

So today was minaly just checking fittment and my options for mounting the 1/2 console and still leaving my middle seat with foot room.







Obviosuly the legs are comming off this, but it was just to get an idea of how I can fiberglass it to the factory dash.



Well until tomorrow, thats all the progress I got done. Neon tubes for accent lighting will be in tomorrow.

Haha I may be able to do that.

I just wanted to keep leg room for a middle passenger, so it worked out perfect.
Ill be mounting 2 - 120v outlests, and lots of aux light switches in it.

Hey jack, needs cupholders too!! Haha kidding, that's one thing these trucks have plenty of! Would be cool to have Maglite bracket on one side, or one of those charging LED lights.
