Catching up on some of my mods:
Its just my work truck and I do quite a bit of hauling and camping, so most of the mods are relevant to my extracurricular activities.

Audio stuff (These mods took more time than any other ones). The back seat amp rack took a good 15hours. Modifying seat brackets, back of the seat/re welding braces, countersinking amps in mdf etc.

Looks like you've spent some time doing quality work on/with the truck!



PS. I still can't believe you're a whiteboy.

I graduated from UVA in 2009, so I might have seen you around before and not even know it. Charlottesville has a beautiful campus and an amazing school. Haha I went to grad school at WVU (where I am in that pic) and it was a major downgrade educationally and appearance wise. Nothing against WVU, but I was teaching courses there as a Ph.D math student and had a kid almost kill me.

This was about 3 weeks before the "attack" happened.
I was splitting up a fight, and a kid (19y/o engineering student got me with a box cutter )

Damn... almost took your life bro.
That's serious.

I had a guy try to attack me with a knife. Luckily I was sober enough to avoid any damage and eventually got the knife from his hand during a scuffle. Threw the knife and beat his ***. He left in an ambulance. I was arrested and held until the bouncer and other witnesses verified that it was in self defense. Didnt even know the guy. Leaving a bar and he asked if I had a cigarette and I said no. He pulled a knife out and lunged at me. Random.

Sucks to see that. Looks like it healed up well though.

Nice truck. Clean. Some serious electrical going on. How do you have the batteries hooked up?

Dang man that's insane. I'm over at vcu as a computer science major/math minor so I'm glad there's no engineering students like that here, yet.. Haha. But my girlfriend is a nursing student up at UVA so I usually head up there every weekend during school because her car is a piece of crap and barely makes the drive and the parties are better haha.

scars = one cool story






I'm not a huge fan of the wiring, BUT I appreciate all the practical mods VS cool guy mods and your truck still looks good / performs well as a truck was intended for
