Here is a complete list of what has been done to it, let me know what you think of her and give the rating that you think she deserves! --Skip to the bottom for the most recent pictures--

Repairs in process, June 22nd Update:
Replacing rocker panels, fixing rust spot on hood, and de-molded the cab, along with replacing blown P1S410 Rockford Fosgate Punch sub with new pair of Alpine Type E subwoofers

Left Side Rust Spots on Rocker Panel

Right Side Rocker

De-molded, before clean up and paint

Before clean up, will have truck back on June 24th!


I had both subs in a downward firing box, and apparently this steel bolt rolled underneath the box at some point, and when I hit that pothole it must have bounced up right as the sub was firing. It basically shattered the face of my Punch sub.

My new Alpine Type E's! Just waiting for the truck to be out of the body shop to install them. I'm going from 150 RMS with the P1S410s to 250 RMS with these SWE-1043s, plus from 300 to 750 peak Watts! Also being installed is a new exhaust tip to give the side exhaust a cleaner look.
UPDATE: June 25, 2010
