Looks really nice so far. I assume all the amps are under the 2nd row seat?

Yessir, three amps are under the second row seats...




the fourth is behind the drivers side spare tire wall, behind the interior panel.

That's a sweet custom install, one question?
The HUGE power inverter is hidden inside the jack cover under the rear air conditioning module: how big?

More so the size of it than wattage...

1000 Watt Pure Sine Inverter by Sunforce

Dimensions: 14.8 x 11.2 x 6.6 inches

Here's a link to buy one(Not necessarily a special price):
Amazon.com: Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote Control: Automotive Amazon.com: Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote Control: Automotive

If I were to buy again, I'd probably go for the Xantrex unit:
Amazon.com : Xantrex PROWatt 2000 Inverter, Model# 806-1220 : Automotive Amazon.com : Xantrex PROWatt 2000 Inverter, Model# 806-1220 : Automotive


Cheers!

i love taking on projects like this but ive never amassed such a huge collection and done one major overhaul before! i would love to try this on my own if i ever had the chance.
i think the anticipation is worse when you dont do the work cause you dont get to see the progress the same way. it would drive me insane!

Well...it's finally time! I pick up my truck tomorrow afternoon!!! I will have her cleaned up and I will post up pics and video of this beast in action! I couldn't be more excited!

If you are interested in contacting the guy who did the build...go to the front of my thread: Doug Gibson is the owner/operator of Coastal Motorsports in Orlando, FL. This guy does amazing work!

I hope to wow you guys and more importantly my wife!

Impressions and experiences to come tomorrow night! Woo Hoo! I may not sleep tonight!

When you get it back let us know how well the sound deadening worked. I only have half of mine done and was just curious if it's worth the money to do the rest of it.

Just curious what you plan to do for a spare. I once lived in Orlando, back when the Navy Nuclear Power school was there(read LONG time ago...), so I know there is not much in the way of mountains and rocks, but I always like to be prepared.

I love the clean install, and really like your installers craftsmanship. I too am curious about the change in road noise with the insulation. Keep us posted!!

One other question, what do those tires and rims measure out to be? 35x13?

Thanks again, from the opposite end of the country!
