*Puts on bitch slapping glove* Dan.. *thwack* I hate Metro Detroit... so many damn dealers vehicles... and I hate the UP now... I was promised it'd be here by now.. and I'm gonna cry.

I also have decided, that I'm going to make my truck into a racing truck... rather than like what everyone wants me to do with it and raise it and such... blah to that... Im gonna get rid of the back seating area, (seats and back wall) and build myself a fiberglass box and amp rack, all for my JL 13w7 and my two Orion amps. hehe. I just cant wait any longer.. Im gonna freak the fug out!!!!!!


lemme get this straight....you want to make it a racing truck....yet your adding a "system" which will add to the weight....am i correct in thinking that these 2 concepts butt heads?

That's the first thing I thought too, but let a man dream I guess

Yeah.....adding a system is for show (& sound too), but mainly for show. It's gonna add some weight....what like 50-100 pounds?

You don't see "race trucks" with systems.....the interior is usually stripped out...LOL

its great what Fast and the Furious has taught the kids....you can have a kickass system in a vehicle and still have it run a 9 second 1/4 so long as you got the NOS :P that and you can throw a laptop in a car that analyzes everything on the car at speed, drive 100+mph, work on said laptop at that speed, and not have said laptop rumble off the seat

I'm not going to be taking it to the strip or anything. I just want a truck that's going to be faster than it originally was. And to go the opposite of what 95% of people do to their trucks here, which is raise them 27". Ok, so maybe thats an exaggeration, but everyone around here wants to have the big ol' truck, so blah to them. And the system, if I use the minimum amount of weight should be about 58 pounds. So, if there isn't going to be a back seating area, then it shouldn't be too much heavier than stock. Maybe 30 pounds heavier. But like I said I'm not making it into a truck that I'm going to be racing. I just want it to look different than all the trucks out there, but still have the capabilities of a truck.

And on a side note... **** Fast and the Furious! I hate that damn show. Also, I don't street race. Just to clarify. Sure I may be a 20yr old male, but that doesn't mean I race, or speed, or do any of the other **** people my age do with their vehicles. So ya.

Nono, I know you aren't. I'm just stating my ground. And, I personally don't listen to my music loud, but when we have our local SPL comp's here, I like to then make everyone be like, wait, he has a system in there? And then win the 500 bux they give as 1st prize.

But, ya I totally understand the adding weight to "race vehicles" ... every 100 pounds makes vehicle .1 second slower... I know all this jazz. So again, I'm not into making it into an actual racing truck. I just don't want an actual off road truck.

Plus, I know my truck won't ever be a race truck, seeing as how I have 4WD in it. Haha

Good analogy.... ha ha


I also like the fact that it took like 5 minutes for them to do a quarter mile in "10 second" cars in the movie...LOL
