Oh yes agreed Gold was not my first choice, but I could not pass up the condition and price of the truck. Compared to what I had been seeing it was a no brainer, but I am in the process of doing my research and make my mods list.

Just bought and have to get mounted an Aero AT3030 exhaust/tip and a Y-Pipe.(Sounds better than my Remus on my Bimmer) Looking at programmers, bullydog, edge and superchip. Level kits- leaning towards ReadyLift. Also almost have all the audio for it bought. Going to get rid of the chrome door bumpers, maybe paint to match or black. Also going to paint match the front grill like the sport models.

Here is what I have
Alpine 9887 head
2-Kicker L7 Subs
2-Kicker ZX amps
*4-6.5 Component speakers still trying to decide on what brand
Fabing a custom sub box

Also searching around for rims right now and I think that Raceline RT233-AL Monster.


All in all this is going to be fun I really enjoy seeing the changes

sounds like a good list to start. does it have the stock exhaust? Are you going to get rid of the resonator? Just curious.

Ya I have been using Kicker for a long time I have done several custom installs on my cars and friends and have always used Kicker L7 sub and amps and new had issue. Kicker is great if issue do arise and to me if the subboxes are build correctly they sound awesome!
