If you own a 2WD, what have you done to it? What do you do with it/use it for? Pics? Just curious to see 2WD people and their rigs.

I've done a 2" BL, a PML, headunit/amp/subs, alarm w/ remote start. No pictures of the stereo, but here's one from the outside.



should be getting some new wheels/tires, and hopefully some sliders and a shrock rear bumper soon.

I've got shackles on the way, but I don't think I'll be satisfied. I'll end up getting a BL as well. System wise, I've got a Polk Audio 10" and a Navone Engineering/Autosound 2000 Line driver for the factory headunit. I'm getting new speakers in the near future. It never ends.........

i have a pml now and you are right im not satified, soon i will be installyng a 3" sl sterring stablizer light bar on roof fack a scan guage and ball joint spacers so after the sl i can put my longer shackles on and get a total of 4.5" out of it. i have a pioneer head unit, fosgate door speakers, fosgate subs P-2 12" a fosgate amp for the lows and a nitro amp for the highs.

got a k&n drop in filter and a new flowmaster muffler... got stickers too haha

Well, I finally got my shackles here and put them on. It does make a difference, I will admit. My 10 year old son even noticed, and loved it! Later down the road I will either go with the BL or I was thinking about a SL. Haven't decided yet. I will probably getting new tires before next winter as well.

I have the K&N cold air intake and the Gibson exhaust. Sounds pretty good. Looking to do some audio upgrades in the near future.

So i got a 3" SL, bilstein shocks, custom steering,
k&n drop in, my play tires are 31" super swamper TSL LTBs on 15x8 3.5"bs rack crawler series 51 wheels, hella lights with piaa bulbs on the roof
and this is what i do with it!

very nice! I will definitely be taking mine out to the mud holes this summer! But, right now, I'm in the middle of a blizzard. How do you like the SL?

Right now all I've got is a system...
Dual battery (stock + optima yellow top)
Pioneer headunit, fronts, rears
2x MTX 5512's in a LARGE ported enclosure
Volfenhaug 2000watt 2channel amp on the subs
Needless to say, it gets f'in loud



And a night pic...

Daddy likey! Love the neon effect!!

I've got an 02 SC 2WD. I just put some wheels on it and have been contemplating a BL or SL, maybe a push bar.

Nice Wheels Jtuned. What size are those wheels and brand?

Thanks,

They're Volk Racing TE37's Large PCD 18x8 +5 Offset.

those wheels are pretty sick man. id like to get a set for my hardbody but im having a hard time finding them online. the only place i could find had em for $700 each. you got an inside man or did you front the big bucks? either way, they are super nice.

id rather have those than my titans, but at least mine were cheap


and BenzsX, you want a large ported enclosure, and f'n loud, come holler at me sometime.



Fi audio Q18 on an autotek MM1400.1
dont mind the unfinished box. pics are from the testing phase.

the crappy mic on the crappy camera doesnt make it sound very good, but it sounds real nice in person.

I like those wheels as well! And ScottXGTR, has the car audio technology gods provided an 18" that sounds decent? When I saw my first 18", 15 yrs ago, they sounded very muddy. The only reason one would purchase them was to be, " bigger than yours." I'm not saying that's what your doing, 'cause things are different now. I just mean do they sound decent?

j tuned, do u have a high res pic of your truck i could use as a backround? looks sweet btw

yeah man. ive ran everything from 10s on up to 15s with good and bad choices along the way. this 18 was a really good choice. Fi Car Audio has 4 different models available in the 18. the 18Q is their sound quality oriented woofer. not sure how they made a 1000w woofer with 27mm Xmax sound this good but they succeeded. i love it, especially for the price. they also have the lesser model SSD which sounds good, and the BL and BTL are geared more towards total output. The designer at Fi (scott) has been designing for years and is responsible for the RE line that everyone was raving over before US amps bought RE out.

i bought it because my buddy is probably about your age as well. telling me about the good ole days when he ran some kicker 18s. i got an suv and he's been bugging me about using the extra space wisely. so i tried a pair of 15s, 4 12s, and finally settled in on 1 18. all have had about the same output but this one hits very low and with a 30hz tuning, sounds awesome. i listen to mostly rock and it fits my music and tastes very well. strong output, great response, and solid kick drums. give it a shot if you got a mere $300.

I've got a few friends that would definitely be interested! Thanx fot the info. Unfortunately i don't have the room, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and my son and I have 2 bags of soccer gear, cause I still play, in the rear. 1 Boston 10" is all I can handle. I don't play it real loud much anymnore, except when I'm alone. But SQ is a MUST. I appreciate the info, and will definitely pass the info on.

they make that woofer in a 10 too.

just incase. . .

WOW! Not only do they have nice specs, they look purdy, too! Like a sexy woman................

If I'm not the handyman type, what kind of shop can I take my X to to get a PML installed?

You could try a truck shop in your area, they will be able. But it's so easy, save the money and do it yourself. There is a great how-to in this forum. Just do a search.

Yeah - A PML is a good way to start to become acquainted with your X's underbelly and suspension.

What paint did you use for the roof rack, nerfs, grills, bumper etc.? How did you prep the roof rack while still keeping the sticker on? did you still sand and prime with the sticker on, and then just peeled it off after the paint job?

AEM brute force cold air intake, thats all i've done so far, thinking about a body lift, judging by what that silver one below me is, i'm not sure anymore

You guys did some cool things with your X s and gave me some good ideas. I d like to upgrade the cd/radio in the 2006. What do you recommend?

OLD SETUP

Sweet ride!! I love the setup. how did you make the grill, I want one!

through a shop localy they sent it to billet specialties and they took care of it

Not my personal style but I do like the amount of work and detail you have in your truck.....especially since its 2wd....if it were a 4wd well......

Tim

i would hope 4 12s is louder than 1 18. you got some nice stuff in there. but i have a bias against anything with 7 in the name.

ive done 4 12s, 2 12s, 2 15s, etc. i know what yours is capable of. doing it with a single woofer is more fun tho. especially at 30hz.
