Just when I thought couldn't love her more

Just wanted to share my first ever interior mods I've done in the last week.

The first one probably belongs in audio but I didn't wanna make 2 threads.

I also installed a RF 150s punch amp, 10" punch sub, RF 6x9's in the front doors and Boston Acoustics 6x5's in the rear doors.

Tbh, it was easier than I thought it was gonna be. Took me about 4hrs total time and half of that was getting the crap out.

I have the column shifter and it was a royal PITA for me. Actually what sucked was getting it all lined up and calibrated right. Then after i got it right...my dash kit took a crap on me so i had to do it ALL over again once the replacement arrived. I was ready to

That blows. I have the column shifter as well. Man that was a ***** to get around, almost broke that trim piece trying to get it out.

Take the column shifter off.....A 10mm nut and a few taps with a punch on the bolt and the lever comes off.........BE AWARE THERE IS A SPRING INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY, it wont shoot out but it is there... Just let the shifter hang down out of the way. The shifter is not that bad to reinstall either.....This small step make the instrument surround come off without having to twist the surround and possibly cracking it or breaking it.....

Quick note on reinstalling the needles....After you have installed the gauge set, go out to your truck and plug the power into the gauges again, wait a few second, and let them reset. After you unplug the cluster the needles will be reset to the zero position on all the gauges, just point the needle to the zero and everything should be set.... If you accidentally move the pin while installing the needle, just pull the needle off and repeat the previous step....

wow that looks great. can you get those plates in different colors? or white is the only other option?

JOHNGEN · 02-19-2009, 09:06 PM

Yes, they have different colors. Got them from Your source for white face gauges and dash modification accesories - www.whitegauges.net.
