Talking Truck is finally "done" (pics inside)

This is my '04 Lariat SCrew. I've had it for a while but didn't want to take pictures until I got new shoes on her. This weekend I finally did (thanks to FSEX4) and it's the truck of my dreams.

My "mods" are:
-AS 2" leveling kit
-Harley Grill
-HID headlights and fogs (but I don't use the fogs)
-Kenwood DVD player in dash and headrest units
-JL Audio ZR component sets all around
-Pioneer 12" subwoofer (the narrow one)
-Magnaflow muffler with 'cutoffs'
-customized "F____ You" on my tailgate from where the previous owner double parked someone.

Now.. some crappy cell phone pics...


yeah, that's a Michael Jackson DVD - the best thing for driving a truckload of girls home from the bar.

This picture seems cool until you realize that to take it I crouched down in the bed of my truck with my camera phone to take a picture


The rear tire in this one is off the curb, that's why it looks so much higher.

I'll get "real" pictures when the weather is better.
Also, my low-profile toolbox is going on next week. Then it'll be done with the mods.

Yeah... that's the last mod. There are no hangers supporting it from the y-pipe (correct term?) back. Guess they forgot that step. I keep meaning to go to a muffler shop but always forget about it.

I should have mentioned, I was lucky enough to find this truck with these mods already done. There's no way in HELL I would have spent $6 grand on a stereo (found the receipt) or put in the 8000K HID lights. I'm happy to have it the way it is, and now that the tires are on I'm completely in love with it.

Well I can't argue that it is a bit... extravagant but those component sets go for $800 each ($850 from Crutchfield). Even on ebay they're getting $500 from a non-authorized seller.

Then there's the:
headrest monitors plus install, sub and box, $1000 headunit, and the two JL audio amps and I could see where that number comes from pretty fast.

Oh, and that includes the HID lights + install too.

It was done at David's Car Audio in Fort Worth, they have a pretty stellar reputation.

oh, he paid for installation. That gets expensive quick. But the stufff he chose is overpriced. Its good stuff, JL makes nice equipment, but there is better stuff out there for the money.

Can you take a more high quality pic from the one where you sat in your bed. I have a listing on craigslist and want to add that pic, it's very similar to my interior (headrest tv's, navi, wood grain, etc). I don't have a camera anymore :[

yeah, I'll get out there tomorrow with a real camera and re-do the pics in this thread. I'll make sure to get good interior shots.
