Had a customer bring in his 98 Chevy S10 pickup.
Had the stock deck in there and was putting in a Jensen reciever.
Customer purchased a kit for the replacement but it was the wrong one and budget was tight, so, instead of just throwing it in there, I made him a custom ABS dash kit.
Fit like a glove and you can barely notice it's not a regular kit.
So slowly but surely I've been getting parts for the truck.
So far we have:
Black Replacement Carpet (Switching Interior from Blue to Black with Grey Accents)
Custom Made Seat Covers
Sport Mirrors
Custom Range Rover Front Clip (Headlights will be retro'd and LED'd out)
Smoked Tails
Just this week I received all my audio equipment:
Digital Designs 6.5" Component System x 2
Digital Designs 8" 2500 series Subwoofer, custom platnium carbon fiber dust cap
Digital Designs MONSTER SS5 5 Channel Amp - 120x4, 800x1 (yup, you read that right)
So, now I just have to find the time to tear into it, get it ready for Paint (Full body paint) and then the audio nonsense can begin.
Words cannot express how excited I am about this beast of a sub.....800 watts RMS....giggidy!
Had a client with a 2009 Dodge Ram come in wanting a serious HID Upgrade.
Recieved Digital Low/High Beam 6000k HIDs as well as some Digital 6000k Foglights.
The trick with this one was the Dodge's CAN-BUS system. In the past you've usually had to bypass the headlight circuit and splice the system into the Parking Light circuit...it worked, but sucked.
Not now....the specially made harness solved all these issues and everything works as it should.
He also had his driver side fog lamp recieve a HUGE rock chip that damaged the housing...so I replace that as well.
Bright Bright Bright!!
Well, shortly after the first system went in the 'dairy truck' last year, the truck took a crap on the owner (thanks to a mouse in the fuse box). So....now we have almost the same components but a different truck.
2009 GMC Sierra
Pioneer 3200 Deck with Steering Wheel Controls
Memphis Audio 500 watt Street Reference Mono Amp
12" JL Audio Subwoofer in an old body style GM sub box
Put the amp behind the seat (back carpet was already cut for an amp.....well, chewed up)
Bass Knob was put down low
Deck pushed the stock speakers better than the stock deck could
All in all....good sounding system
So Ryan the Painter (read with the theme of Bob the Builder in your head) has been busy on his truck....and is finally ready for some Trax love (minus the headlights we did).
I've ordered a JVC Navigation DVD player that's going to have SD, iPod, and Aux inputs, Navigation, Back up Camera, HD Radio and Satellite Radio installed. Round 1.
Round 2 will consist of a rhino lined/sealed box with dual 10" Memphis subs getting a healthy 300 watts RMS each...so that should take care of the low end.
For now, he's been painting all the interior parts to match his freshly painted two-toned exterior!!
Sick truck!
Past customer wanted to upgrade his lighting situation. He came to the right shop.
Existing provisions for the Ford were not present, so (since the bumper was dented anyways) we replaced it with an upgraded bumper with Foglight holes.
Along with those, we added HID lighting in the fog lights as well as the headlights...so now he has Fogs, with HIDs, and his Hi/Low beams are also HIDs......PLEEENTY of lighting
Since the fog lights weren't there from stock, I had to make a custom wire harness to power the additional lights, and I put an LED rocker (green) switch below the stock headlight switch to match the interior lighting. This way he have toggle on/off his fogs whenever he wants, and the highs won't shut them off, and he can drive solo with them on by themselves...pretty nifty.
Cheers
Had a past client call me up and wanted better sound.
Memphis filled the void with their 4" and 6"x9" Street Edge entry level speakers.
4" speakers replaced what 'was' there, even tho it wasn't much left and the 6x9's filled in the void of no bass or rear fill.
All in all, the install was easy cause the customer had the seats out and everything cleaned up ready for some sound.
Good thing was that the temp was right at 90 degrees so I got a nice little sweat going on a Saturday morning!
Cheers!
Rag finally gave in and wanted some 'different' type of lighting other than HIDs.
Cool White side emitting LEDs were installed and wired up to a switch that is independent from the lighting system...so they can be on with the lights or without...perfect for dusk driving!
Cheers!
Had an 2005 Ford F-150 in today....will be doing alot of work to this truck over the next year...but first thing's first.....Nerf Bar side steps!
Went on pretty easy (alot easier than the hide-away Amp Research steps)
Cheers!
