Fun looking project! As usual, she's coming along nicely! That setup is going to sound so good!

Thanks, finally got the seats in. Took a lunch break now I'm headed back out to pull wires.

I'll bet that Infinity doesn't hurt the SQ. Whats the wattage for each? And of course, rigs looking stellar! Is that a TrailBlazer in the background?

Thanks. The infinity is amazing for it's size. Hope to switch to infinity components eventually. The 4-ch is 240w RMS and the 2-ch is 400w RMS, have no idea what the max is. That's my wife's trailblazer, we love it. I bought it with 40k on the clock and now have 120k and with no problems other that wear items. She got rear ended a couple weeks ago and messed up the bumper cover. If the insurance check is good enough I'm gonna grab a bumper cover from the JY , and put a 2.5" lift on it for her.

Infinity has always been a very recognizable, quality product. Glad the amps worked out! I've had great luck with off brand/kinda generic amps before.. I bought an 06 LT about a year and a half ago. Right off the bat it needed a wheel bearing, but other than that its been pretty good to me. Max I get is a little over 18MPG summer and about 15 in winter so comparable to the XJ. Theres no denying the comfort of that thing though! I got lucky; heated leather and a Bose stereo.. Actually putting winter tires on this year, vs. the AT's I had last winter.. Should be a little better. Have you been on the TrailVoy forum? People treat these things like Jeeps!! It's crazy..

Ole Heep got in her first fender bender today. ******* pulled out in front of me and hit me head on. Dirtbound bumper saved my Jeep! Messed the car up but only tweaked my bumper.

Thanks man! That Nissan definitely had a bad day.

And on the T-blazer, indeed those things are comfy as hell. Ours is just the base model 2-wd. I only paid 8,500 for it with 40k and still under factory warranty. Was planning on giving it to my daughter, but the Mrs loves it too much. Think I'm gonna fix it up for her and buy my girl an XJ.

Good ol tin can construction.. Thats a pretty good grab on the Blazer. Mine was 10k from dealer with 85k miles.. It's been such a financial, endeavor? Is that the right word? That it's a bit stressful at times.. Still, the overall reliability and comfort really helps balance it out. Cant blame the spouse for being attached to it and a good opportunity for a father/daughter project!

Bought me a warn rear tire carrier, and a set of sliders.
Sucky part is,I had the seller drop them off at our NC Shop and I won't get them till next week. Headed out now to stock up on flat green paint and grab some materials to do some mods I have planned for them.
