Project 78 High Sierra

[JRANGER]

Installed the Cab Corners and the 6x9s today. Also ordered a bunch of stuff this weekend..

5.25 infinity Components - Still deciding if I want to make Kick Panels or Put them in the door

Outer Cab Corner Repair Panels

Door Arm Rests

Dash Molding Trim

Pioneer Shallow Mount Sub and Box (Only 4.3" deep) I want to be able to push the seat back so this was a necessary evil...

Monster RCA Wire, Speaker Wire, and Ground loop isolator

White Face Gauges

Steering Wheel Setup

Aluminum Window Handles

Door Weather Stripping All but the corner windows

[JRANGER]

Wired int the cab corners with new monster speaker wire...Ran a true memory wire direct to the battery, ran all new wires to all audio...Including soon to be mounted kick panel speakers... Also installed my new slim mount Pioneer sub and box so I will be able to move the bench back

Did my first welding ever on inner fenders I got from pull a part with a 90 AMP flux core mig welder...Yeah it looks nasty but its a first...Also cleaned and coated one of the fender with undercoating...

Mounted the CD player with the metal metra bracket directly to the metal dash. Cut the dash bezel to fit over it when reinstalled and just pop the stereo ring on..

Also replaced the inline fuel filter which fixed issue with the carb

[JRANGER]

still working...Replaced driver side door pings and a hinge...Still have to get in lined up right though..Gonna try that this weekend

[JRANGER]

Well Friday Installed the new bench and drove over to my moms Saturday but when my friend arrived he laughed and asked if it ran. So I started it up only to notice it bogging down. Open the hood only to notice the inline fuel filter leaking gas. Come to find out the new filter was plastic so luckily i replaced it with the old glass part....

Saturday I got my brothers helped and removed the doors, replaced the pins, bushing, and one of the hinges. Installed the missing driverside rear channel, welded the bolt location that was partially cracked, installed a new steering wheel, and all new window weather stripping

Also installed White Face Gauge overlays and vled 360 blue leds the week before

Great work man! I love these build threads, btw where did you get that seat cover?!?!?!?! That would look so killer in my truck!

Also I did my 5.25's in my doors. I love the way they sound and they carry through the cab very well. Im thinking of switching to a shallow mount sub or one L7 8" sub since they do have a mounting depth of only 4.2" or so.

[JRANGER]

Ordered it from http://www.ricksupholstery.com/sales_i.html...It was only $210 shipped to Nashville...May be a lil more to LA but i was thrilled...They also installed 80s style seat belt holes....Just modify the foam for them if u want them.....

Ive got some kick panels to install still with infinity 5 1/4 components ...I cant wait to install them and the rest of the interior

[mineralgrey01gt]

nice man, thanks for the info. Ill be buying one soon. Got any pics of the kick panels?

[JRANGER]

yea here are the soon to be installed speaker and kicks...QLOGIC kick panels

[mineralgrey01gt]

damn, didnt know they made kick panels for our trucks. hmmm....

[JRANGER]

yeah they took a while to find and using a dremel to cut the holes made a mess lol... But they are QLOGIC QL-K1006B...I got mine for 159 on ebay but like i said it took a while but i think it was worth it

[motornut]

Thanks for that number man ill definitely get me some when I can find them

[JRANGER]

Amazon had a used pair for $138 in dark gray

How does the sub sound? Been looking at stuff for the C50.

Great job on the seat and guages!

[JRANGER]

Sub sounds good...Its not incredible but its well worth it and has a real nice sound with only 4" of depth on the box...So it fit perfectly behind the seat.

Thanks!

[bharrison1]

I like that seat!!

[JRANGER]

Sanded, Prepped, and painted the other interior trim...Only thing left to paint is the actual shoulder seat belt piece on the floor that wont come out

[JRANGER]

Since my impact gun nor my ratchet succeeded at removing i just painted the outside of this piece in the truck...LOL GHETTO STYLE

[JRANGER]

the more i see this pic the more i see the red on the corner...The more I see the red on the corner I wonder WTF! is going on I know i sprayed the whole piece...The more I wonder the more I wish I was at home so I could look at it!

[grayharville]

I definitely see a spot of red too lol

[JRANGER]

WOW i suck at redoing headliner...but o well i guess it will work

[y5mgisi]

Good work so far man!

[bigwheel15]

It looks to me like that spot of red you're seeing is just the reflection of red paint on the gloss black.

[JRANGER]

Your right..It was just a reflection..I put most of the trim back in last night other then the dashpad and door panels....The headliner actually doesnt look awful once installed. So far so good....
