no sir, work gets in the way.

Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Nothing big but today the truck came to life. I was at work as my wiring guy was doing all the electronics and started it up for the first time. I am so stoked. I'm embarrassed with some dumb exhaust leaks but shit it sat for awhile. Engine internals sounded good and good oil pressure and to me thats what counts the most, I will address the exhaust leaks. woo hoo

Don't mind the wires actually tomorrow the truck will see power for the first time and possible start up or attempt to start. Long shot but keeping fingers crossed. Suppose to go back to my buddy's shop top get the intercooler piping and back half finished up by end of month as well. It is registered for JCCS why I have no idea.

It's your truck first of all, so people will tell you to not do this and not do that, so wanted to clear that up. As for space there is none unless you get creative. Now if it's a really stock truck in great condition don't cut the doors in my opinion. But if your looking for a good sound system and don't care cut them and mount away, Im running 3 ways in my doors and a single Focal 8" sub in a custom box in the center of my trans tunnel up against the fire wall. Amp is mounted between the seats on the extra metal on the back of cab. Also you can have or make custom kick panel pods as well, as for subwoofer there lies the problem. Bass tube in the middle of bucket seats on floor, bu there is no room under or behind the seats at all, unless you mount in bed and tunnel into cab which I think is stupid but it works very well. If you don't take many passengers around build a slim box with a shallow 10" along the passenger floor board up against the firewall as well, but again if you take someone around then its uncomfortable but you booming.

No sir but we can find him.

Wanted a subwoofer but since the cab is so small, I went with a 8" FOCAL that will go up against firewall on center hump along with the Alpine controller. I like this a lot and we made it as small as we could not take up so much space.

That is the green truck.

It's a AN-10 I believe you can just cap it.

This guy is out by me. Cool guy a little odd but very cool.

What a great show, thanks for having me, and my turd. Location is great and had a blast. I left at 0400 Sunday morning and was by 2115 hours. Not bad. My Tacoma was tested to the limits and it passed. lol Was good catching up with all you guys, new faces and old ones. You guys rock, and have very nice cars up there in the PNW. I admire also how much you guys drive the shit out of them as well.

On a serious note be nice, Nicole Johnson is YES my cousin. She was suppose to do my wagon but conflicting schedules so she hosted this Hawaiian guy down in San Diego. If you guys dont know her she made her fame as one of the best rock crawlers and was the Scooby Doo monster truck driver. She is a crazy Portagee.

Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr I guess I'll bring the turd on a Trailer of course. Don't laugh its paid for.

Save me a 3x

Ill be coming so break out the champagne. lol🤪

When you leaving to go, is Bustanut going as well. Seems like you guys fell off the map. Hope you are doing well my friend.
