I've also added some black floor mats since I took these pictures and I should be receiving my stereo install kit and wiring harness today. I am also going to order some racing style seat covers but I can't decide if I want black/blue or black/red. Any Suggestions?

BTW:My aftermarket stereo has blue lights and my stock interior lights are green.

well that instrument panel needs to change to the one that includes a tach, so when you change that do the green lights as well!

Looks good man! Nice choice on the stick! Give her a good cleaning and she will look like a new truck in no time!
btw You can prolly change the color of the radio if you dig around in the settings enough. Mine can go from blue to green.

I ordered a digital one online that has blue lights so i may change the instrument panel and temp controls to blue and go with the black/blue seat covers.

I dont think mine can do that or at least I have not found the setting in the year i have had it. I prefer the color blue anyway so changing the parts over may not be a bad choice and that will give me a definate decision for blue seat covers to match.


Just to get everything to match well I may change the carpet to black and the headliner and maybe do the dash paint mod but we will see about those because they seem very involved

I am going to put 2 12" subs in the back and my plan is to have seats built into the sub boxes so i can still have up to 5 people in the truck.

$2900 with 5 new tires.
