I believe so. You will have to ask my dad for the correct answer though.

about your stereo, i would watch out with the subs. I have two 12" kicker solo barics with two digital sx650.1 amps w/striping, you will hear nothing but rattles after that bass hits long enough. Even when i dont have the stereo on i can hear stuff rattling that didnt before i installed my system. i would highly recommend dynomatting your ride before getting anything to powerful in there.

Well mostly I listen to rock, so im getting a sealed box, not ported, and the box isnt going to be really big either...the one im looking at is a 36" by 12". One of my Army buddies is really good with stereos...hes got 2 kickers in a sub box that covers every square inch of the rear of his Chevy Tahoe and it sounds really good. He said that if I listen to rock that I wouldnt need a great big box like hes got. As far as subs, I already got some- 2 12" Rocksford Fosgates.

 

[TekMan05]

well dang if I knew u were in the whole sub thing. I would have shown you my system!

 

[justanothersmith]

[TekMan05]

Well, As far as suspension lifting -or any lifting goes I'm a virgin.

But I'm sure the 2 of us can manage.

What about mine? I just hope you don't take it where we took mine for an alignment.

 

[best X]

you know once youve started theres no end...good luck

Yeah-
but this is going to be a bit different. We gotta do control arm drop brackets-and stuff. It looks like the whole suspension comes off, gets modified in some way and goes back on

wanna come down to help?

JAS replaced his driver door latch and both handles today-along with the lock solenoid. The inside door wiring harness was also replaced. I helped a little but mainly supervised. The door now operates well, however there are still 2 issues-

1- Re attachment of the lock actuator solenoid? I guess it's a rivet huh?

2- still have the window issue. It only rolls down when the door is closed.
since we had another wiring harness It was worth a shot-but it appears the fault is in the door jamb wiring mess.

You can make that 3 people to help out, you know I'm always game to help turn a few wrenches. And you could always try and convince Evan to come up for a couple of days, that should make pretty short work of things.

in regards to issue 1... what i did was take the bracket out drill out the rivet and use a bolt and two nuts. the nuts sandwiched the sheet metal through the existing rivet hole. i didnt have a rivet gun that big or any rivets. either way you have to drill out the existing rivet. i found there was a common problem with the rivet head things that ford put on... apparently they fall off... poor design:thumbdwn:
