Still Truckin'...now with more mods and a little NXT
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2009 2:14 am
After seeing Don's thread about Meg's NXT 2.0 on his new Bonneville, along with the ongoing thread about which wax is better, I decided to follow some of the advice listed in those topics and applied a base coat of NXT and then a follow up coat of Gold Class. I had only used Gold Glass before now. I am very impressed with the results so far from the NXT/GC combo. I also felt the NXT was easier to apply. All of these pictures were taken after driving 200+ miles. Since I posted pics of my truck last time, I have added: a 4" CAI, black polyurathane OEM fender flares, slightly hidden driving lights, and a firebar that burned out (grrrrrrrr....
).

I can feel a little extra top end pull from installing this bad boy. Makes that engine sound so evil at WOT.

You do not want me behind you with my brights and driving lights on...



Kicker 10" in a ported box with a cheap Jensen amp. Plenty of bass for the country and rock I listen to.

Switch for the lights under my bumper. I barely used any of the wiring that came in the package because I decided to wire in a 30 Amp relay and connect that to the Aux. Acc post on my fuse block. The only hole I had to drill was for the switch, which is mounted in the same place a fog light switch is usually mounted. I used predrilled holes from the factory on the lights.

Like I said earlier, I had installed a LED firebar under the tailgate, but it burned out in under 2 months. Looked cool while it lasted. I might replace it with a better one off the internet later. However, I would like to start saving up for some BF Goodrich A/T KO2's and possibly rims.f
