OK, so I fixed the small pictures...sorry about that. When I tried to upload them it said file was too large. So I sent them to photobucket.

Besides wheels, 5% tint on CC doors and rear window, and soft tonneau, I've only done sound system upgrades.

I was wondering what you meant when you said windowscene...I tinted what I've got now. Not good enough to do the fronts. Will eventually get them done. Sound system is nothing huge. Just got rid of the stock junk.

Pioneer 4800 CD
Alpine F250 amp for front and rear 6010 infinity's (door's)
Alpine M450 amp for 10" Kenwood Typhoon Sub (1 ft3 box tuned to 45 hz)

Overall, sounds very decent. Good SQ with decent low end...Here's a short cut to a thread with pics of the sub and box I built.

thats pretty bad man...if u ever have a change in heart or just need to replace your system, i know its expensive but its amazing...i had itin my ram...JL Audio...it was a reg cab, i had an Alpine unit, 2 JL 12"w3v2 subwoofers, JL 500/1 amp, JL 6x9s in the doors, JL 5 1/4 (i believe that was the size) in the back wall behind the seat. The box was awesome, one sub behind each seat with the amp behind the center seat built into the box. real sweet, it was ported and it pounded. i also dynomatted my doors and back wall. i could have easily used a JL 1000 watt mono amp but in the reg cab it was definately not needed. JL is also built to run off low wattage. I wanted 12"w6's or 12"w7's but they wouldnt fit behind my seat...still, it was way too loud...

the red wire u see along with the remote wire, ground, and others come out of the box right there, and go through a hole drilled in the truck and run underneath the truck to whereever they need to go. no wires on the side or anything ugly...and yes everything was sealed correctly...real nice install...those are the only 2 pics i have left of my system...and if u havent, buy some grill covers for your sub, they come in handy! i needed mine or else my seat would rub the sub and i didnt want that

the box was actually like the drawing below...crappy drawing, kickass box...i had the box custom made, but everything else i did myself

drawing: top= big circles are subs, rectangle is amp, 3 lil circles is where the wires come out, then go under th cab
side view = square is port

That was a real nice setup in the reg cab ram. JL stuff is definitely good. I can't stand to look at systems that are just thrown together, with wires hanging all over the place. Just doesn't look good. Have you upgraded the system in the Dak?

nice pics flyhalf but i havta conrtadict two things...that stock exhaust against those rims looks relly gross...if you dont want to upgrade your echaust at LEAST put a tip on it....its like a thorn in all that rose...ugly lil stick thing potruding
also...what do you think about that front bumper? its an offshade grey up against the black paint...i know you cant do much about it cuz parts are hard to find...but maybe go chrome or something? just some positive negativity for you : o )
but i like everything else good job it doesnt look shabby or rice

Trucky...I think you meant that you wanted to "criticize" a couple of things not "contradict"...

Anyway, I think a crome bumper would be too "Harly Davidson" over the top. Same thing for chrome door handles, chrome molding, or chrome anything else. JMO. Anyone else with me on the subtle chroming of a vehicle? I think there is a very fine line.

As for the exhaust tips, I don't know. They are a little to ricey/redneck for me. I'd actually prefer to dump the exhaust under the bed and not have to look at anything. Again, JMO. Thanks for the feedback though.
