A quick glance at the T/S parameters for the 8” RT you got and it looks like it should do good in the stock location.
I researched them a bit.

It seems there are 3 units that can be used.

One is MB Quart the other is a Retro Sound. I choose the Kicker.

I’d have chosen the same thing, I’ve had a few different Kicker products and they have all lasted the test of time and plenty of abuse. I actually still have one of the old blue and silver L7s and a KX600.1 from back in the day and they both still works just as good as the day I bought them.

Cleaned the glass today.

Had water spots everywhere. First used Water Spot Remover from CarPro. Then clay barred the glass. After that used a DA buffer and Griots Glass Polish to buff out the glass. Finally coated with Griots Glass Sealant.

Also have a custom plate coming. I don't see what takes the DMV sooooo long. Of course you all won't get to see it. Since its a unwritten rule to scratch out your Tag when posting pictures of the truck lol.

Truck is coming along nicely! I love the esky rack swap! I did it on my Denali two years ago and love the look! Can’t wait to see your truck with the racks on! Now that you have esky racks and appliqués you should do the third light swap! Haha. I swapped the hatch out for an esky hatch and I haven’t had any issues with the hinges or the glass shattering like I’ve hear some people mention with the glass that has the rubber trim around the edge. Anyways, my 2006 had the edgeless hatch with the big plastic piece on top and I hated that that piece was black plastic and not color matched. But when I swapped to an esky glass with my esky third light, I got one off a 2004 so it has the rubber trim around the edge and I kinda line it better than the 2006 hatch. I never did like the handle in the middle of the glass for some reason. Anyways.... time for an esky third to tie it together!! Haha.
I have the same JDM Astars in my reverse bulbs as well. They’re ridiculously bright! You will love them!

Makes a huge difference. Part of what makes a car look old is the loss of sheen in the glass. It's a small detail that had a huge impact and is most always overlooked.

Looking good, I’m such a sucker for clean glass reflection photos.
Now take your drink with you and get us photos of those lights, I need new ones bad haha.
