    Not as nice and fancy as the ones above, but I can still fit 2 surboards in the car and head to the beach. Most of the stuff is all hidden under the cover. Sub has been replaced with a JL-W6v2.

    Replacing front bumper and fender

    The taking off and putting on of the bumper and fender is not whats going to cost the most. What usually costs the most is all the paint work, preping, sanding, finish, etc. You might be looking at around 4 hours to remove and install bumper and fender by a professional. My shop charges...

    Stolen: 2000 Mustang GT...

    Since it was at your house, Home Owners Insuance might cover it, if your auto insurance won't. Lets hope Overhaulin' does have it, cause I have always wanted to see what they would do to a new-er stang. The fact that it was taken while running, it sounds like a kid thing to do, and they...

    subs in the trunk

    A lot depends on what you mean on keeping cost down. A cheap install to some people is a few grand, but to others is a couple hundred. If you are into rock and not rap / hip hop I think 10's would be fine. I have one 12" and its plenty and I listen to both rock and rap. Plus I have the whole...

    Tryin to fit subwoofers in the trunk.

    I have a 12" JL W6 in a 1cuft box and it performs great. I don't even have my sub amp turned up more then 1/2 way. I guess you could squeze two 12's in there, but why not get one high end 12 and that should be plenty if its all done right. ~K

    I don't have any pics yet, I'll try to get some this weekend, by the time I am home at night is dark already. The truck has 130K, spent most of its life on a beach carting around workers and tools, etc. Its nothing pretty, but seems to runs ok. The speed limit on the island is 15mph, so the...

    Need info on tuning up an old 5.0 engine in an F-150

    How do you check the timing on the 5.0? I'd need a timing light wouldn't I? I drove the truck down from NY, and put some fuel system cleaner in it, did not help much. Seafoam is a definite, I love that stuff. ~K

    Un-Programming / Re-setting PCM for NC inspections

    All, So I know I need to un-program my car before inspection, but a friend told me that I need to unprogram it and then drive a bunch of miles to reset the "Drive Cycle" code. Is this true, or do I just need to unprogram it that day? Thanks ~K

    Mine may not be as fancy as the others, but the isntall was done in two days and it sounds incredible. Plus I can still fit two surfbaords and head to the beach, that is why I did not block the rear seat hatch. Pics at: www.geocities.com/Snaglpus00 The pics are of the old Sub, I now have a...
