I always like these progression threads

HA! I'm still in 2005. We have three more years of mods before the V3 was installed. LOL
.
Somewhere around this time I also installed an AIRAID cold air intake. Pics were lost when my old computer crashed. Zero performance gain, but the filter is much easier to access. LOL
On a related note, I've been running AIRAID's oiled filter since 2005. I've cleaned and oiled the filter every 5,000 miles and haven't fouled my MAF sensor yet (knock on wood). Granted, the truck doesn't see desert like conditions, but I haven't seen any dust or debris make it past the filter.
One of these days I may go to a dry filter because all the advertising says they're better. LOL

Realized today that I needed to find pics of the stereo. Worst case scenario I'll jus take some new ones.

Finally, getting to the good stuff. I still have some pics of the console saved on my photobucket.

Within a few months I also realized I was going to be spending a lot of time in my truck and used this to justify a stereo upgrade. Components I went with:
Kenwood DDX-6019 head unit with nav
JL 500/5 amp
Boston Acoustic 6.5" separates (front)
Boston Acoustic 5x7 plate speakers (rear)
(2) JL 10" subs
Originally the subs were behind the back seat in a box from Supercrew Sound, but I knew I was leaving a lot on the table. The subs made contact with the rear of the back seat and were also jammed in there pretty tight. After I moved to FL, I had a custom center console built for the subs. The subs fire downward and the box sits about 1" off the floor. Amazingly, the console uses the OEM mounts in the floor and retains the top half of the OEM console. The sub box is also wrapped in the OEM Harley leather.
The amp was initially bolted to the floor under the back seat but was relocated to a custom amp rack behind the rear seat at the same time the sub box was being constructed.
The doors as they are currently, and I’m not 100% happy with a lot of things. They’ll get re-done with Hertz components: tweeters in the sail panels, 6.5” mids in the doors, and a 3” mid-bass where the tweeters are now. And more sound deadening material.
Figured if I was going to upgrade the audio, I should add some video.
OEM visor with a monitor added. Wrapped in leather.
Head rest monitors
The Kenwood head unit may be the next thing to get replaced. It’s old and things are soooo much better now.

Just glad you were far enough away to make the truck look clean.

Good times that trip. I remember a couple of dudes at the drag strip referring to me as a 'coon'...remember that?
