I got my storage set up in the rear. I got some tie down hooks from an explorer last time i went to the junk yard, and this set up seems to work best for me.

Small action packer for fluids.

A large action packer for tools, jack etc...

I'm really not that organized, i just don't want to look bad in front of Tom.

1 amp is for the sub, 1 for the front speakers.

Where is your sub? Leaving it out for trip or is it hidden somewhere?

I'm lazy, I ran one 4 ch. amp (in center console) front 2 to all front speakers and rear bridged to 1 channel for sub. I dont have fader but like I said "I'm lazy" haha that and I never use fade anymore anyway.

It's an 8" sub, you can see it behind the action packer

I'd like to get a 10, but the 8 takes way less room.

The truck did well on it's maiden voyage!

It took the rigors of Baja in stride. I'm not done with it, but this weekend really helped solidify my plans for this truck. I'm gonna rock the 33's, no glass except a hood, lots of tlc, and just minor upgrades here and there.

I know a certain fabricator that is currently working on a 80-86. Make sure to ask him about it.
