Picked up a Tremor, lots of fun going to be happening soon

I love my truck, some of the next steps is to dial in the suspension so it's way more car like than truck :) I'll add some helper bags in case of some load required but mostly it's a big car to me.
 
Next project under way, water to air IC with new IC and reservoir but reusing my V's old HX and pump.

Had a small c notch and custom leaf springs done to level the truck. The ride is SO MUCH BETTER. By leveling the truck the front rides a ton better as well. Next is some double adjustable shocks for the rear and coilovers for the front. Also doing some audio work, I'll post more on that as it occurs.

Looks so good. How has the ride been since the gear and converter change?

I need to go test drive one of these some time.

LOVE IT! I was doing 85 at 2K RPM today just cruising. I need to update the shocks as I had said, do some type of panhard bar and I want to add some helper bags in the rear just in case I need to use the truck. My wife drove with me yesterday and today and she is quite happy with not having the super bouncy ride with an unloaded truck.
 
Car audio stuff happening, I'll link to my diymobileaudio thread to make it easier but basically doing a Audiofrog active front 3 way with GB60/GB25/GB10 fronts and dual JL cs113tg-tw5-v2 sub boxes on Rockford T1000-bdcp sub and dual T400-4 amps for the front end and GB60/GB10 center channel I'm building. Using a JL MS-8 processor as well.  3D printing custom sail panel speaker mounts for the GB25/GB10's. Long term I'll probably do a blow through with dual JL 13W7's but that will be a long time off.

Nope all out of pocket myself, I've been buying used or refurb on ebay, hit up my old boss that still runs a car stereo shop for cost on the JL and Audiofrog stuff. It's weird doing this again after so long not building gigantic high end systems.
 
I need sound deadening!!! I played with the crossover points (now around 45hz) and played with the gain. I can now audibly and physically shake the roof 1/2" or so, it resonates HORRIBLY but the bass is DEEP and CLEAN. The JL 13tw5v2-2 on the Rockford 1000 amp is HOLY CRAP loud (for my old ears). Still have to install the processor, top end amps and speakers but the bass is loud, my thoughts of doing a blow through are gone, no need at all. I can probably do a custom box full width around 3" deep for these two drivers and then build a custom amp rack above or below to make everything clean.
 
PLA printed prototype is done. I cut the sail panel on the passenger side to check. Had to remove the defroster duct for it to fit. There's a gap in the inside edge, we'll see if I can heat up the panel to make it fit, I've decided this panel will be replaced with a new one. I'll end up wrapping the panels in leather eventually.
The grill has indents for small round neodymium magnets and the posts we'll drill and glue in steel rods. The grill idea is to cover it in grill cloth. The next parts will be printed in black ABS that can be finished to a gloss black.
So far so good!
