Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
TRADED MY OLD CIVIC FOR THIS TRUCK. 1997 Chevy C1500 extended cab short bed pickup.
3rd door option and 5.7/350 vortec motor
currently 13-18MPG typicaly 13.5mpg lately this winter with all the remote starting and fun playing in the snow.

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
5.7 vortec motor, superchips programmer, k&n filter. soon to have factory g80 locker axle swapped in this year hopefully

Suspension Modifications:
4/6 lowering kit, 2inch spindles and 2inch springs in front, and flip kit in the rear all DJM, notched frame in rear and helper bags for towing.

I ALSO JUST BUILT A MATCHING TRAILER, LONG BED TRAILER, LOWERED AS WELL, just needs paint now.

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
15inch stock chrome sport wheels, best looking stock 5lug wheels IMO!

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
interior: escalade gauge cluster with full led swap thru the inside of the truck with white leds.
60/40 front seat with center console (for my stereo setup in the future so i can delete 2/3rd of the rear bench)
alpine flip out dvd radio, sirius tuner, two 12inch alpine type R subs under the rear bench currently in custom box with lifted rear bench. and Rockford Fosgate 1K watt amplifier.

Future Modifications:
future mods paint matching trailer to match my truck, repaint front grill of my truck and hood as well.
install g80 locker in rear axle, and MAYBE put air bags on the front of my truck. Read more ยป

seat folded down to access amplifier behind it hidden also.
but you can see the carpet pushed in better in this picture.

BUT I WILL BE MODIFYING THE BOX IN THE SPRING... i want to add a port to the box. but i must make the port external, but i will hide the port behind the seat so the looks wont change but will be louder and sound better for sure.

BUT if the ported box does not make my happy then i will go even further custom by cutting down the bench seat and building a mini wall behind the drivers seat. but leave the seat section on the passenger side.

sub box carpeted and done. and YES im hiding the subs. the front baffle is doubled up to mount the subs flush, and the carpet stretches easy so the slight rubbing of the subs surround on the carpet doesnt effect the output at all.

sounds decent and looks very stealth and stock IMO.
