J-Dub's Build Thread - SouthSlap Demo Tahoe

[J-dub]

I figured it's about time for me to get a thread going.
I'll try to cover everything but I'm sure I'll forget something like always!

The theme of the truck is a BUDGET BUILD. My company/team SouthSlap.com is not very big yet, we have competed well in the past but this is my first FULL out build. I plan to keep everything I do within $5-6k. My previous build was 2 10's that pushed 143.9db on 1100 watts in my old car. It won't be perfect, but it will be GREAT experience for me.

I think you bought your rig off eBay didn't you? I've seen that seller before with similar pics and have thought about buying from them a couple of times but have yet to pull the trigger.

Looking forward to how this turns out!

 

[J-dub]

Sure did!

Between me, my dad, and my mom. We've bought 5 cars from them. Definitely won't stop now. Best deals around, and it's worth the drive from Baton Rouge to Houston for sure. Right now we have 2 from there. This and a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo.

 

[07Burb]

They definitely have some nice deals and that's what attracted us to them in the first place. Now that I know you've bought 5 from them and been happy it will make it easier to pull the trigger and make the trip from KC. Good to know!

 

[J-dub]

Definitely man!

Your gonna love that Head Unit such a beast for the price. Your gonna want more 1/0. I made 1 run from the engine bay the the amp and it took way more than I expected. Its gonna be a killer build cant wait!

 

[J-dub]

Oh there will be pics! Haha, I'm a picture fan for sure.

And Kelly, I'm hoping I do. i can't stand this Clarion I have in here now. I may buy 100ft of 1/0 then

Also, I sprayed the chrome covers on my stocks black today, not the actual rims though. Just to hold me off on new rims.
I'll get some pictures in the sun tomorrow

nice truck man. looks pretty clean

 

[J-dub]

Thanks man, it's definitely not perfect but not bad to start a build with.

Update for today: Cleaned it up some today at our "Garage Day", waiting on subs and such to come in. Tomorrow I'll pull the seats and really clean it up.

Today we really focused on our other build... a 2000 Tacoma with one T3 T1000 15"
