Finally got a day at home alone. Started working on the stereo system. Made one helluva dent in it. Still 4-5 hours left to go before it’s going. Been a challenge trying to hide wires with no carpet. Everything has to be run underneath. But I’m getting through it. I still need to mount the sub box, run and terminate the dash speakers, mount the radio and run power and ground. I bought shorter rca's and those will be here Tuesday. Then it's paint the speaker brackets and fire it up. I also cooked up some beef ribs for dinner that turned out amazing.

All that looks damn good.

Are you mounting the head unit in the console?

Head unit and bass **** will be in the center console. Easy finger tip control and I can close and lock the lid over it so it can't be accessed.

Got the body lift pulled off. Hard to tell but it looks a lot better. Need to adjust the shifter and transfer case linkages and that project will be done.
