Nex Gen 2 Build

Nice start so far! Any particular reason going back to the stock air box?

The stock airbox is made to flow air really well. Also didn't want the mud to cake in there.

We had strong strong winds the last week, which knocked down a dead tree onto the truck and boat. Not horrible considering but still over $9k damage to the truck. Will be getting a new right rear door and a few dents on the roof taken care of.

Truck was finally able to go into the body shop for repairs. Gonna be a long month without it.

Hate to see the tree damage. Like what you’ve done so far, good read for a new owner.

Howdy...

clearly you are not new to vehicle forums. Thank god. You haven't asked about gas mileage, or tire sizes yet.

DOJO

I braved the cold and snow today and did some work. Installed GJ Motorsports 3rd brake light and KHC bed supports.

I opted not to use the 3rd brake light clips that came with it. Instead I installed a few 10-24 nutserts. Cleaner and more secure insulation.

I still need to finish up the wiring but I can not locate the inside pass though wires to go to the uplifter switches.

Just finished up installing a Kenwood race radio from PCI. I went with a 110w remote head radio because I didn't want to loose my center console gun safe.





Took about a day and a half, but I had the time and only wanted to do it once. I wasn't 100% sure that the remote head unit was going to fit in the media center so getting to fit took a bit of trial and error. I added some aluminum stock to the back of the compartment for more of a secure head unit mount. Lost the 2 USB ports but never used them anyways.



Pretty happy with the final product. I can disconnect the mic and close the media door when not in use.

Used a Builtrite rack behind the right rear seat to mount the base unit.


Ran the power up the right side, behind the body control module and through a plug I found. Removed the right fender liner, installed a grommet and ran the wires directly to the battery.

I also installed a few Builtrite products. The dash mount and small plate for the center console lid. I have a mic magnetic mount coming that will go on the dash mount for when the radiobis in use.
