| Hey guys just signed up and am curious as to how many people are from vancouver island? I'm still building my truck and piecing together the stereo. Once I get it all done I was hoping that there might be some sort of shows around that I could attend (hopefully with a TL). Are there any annual shows hopefully during the summer after May ish? I'm not competing but just want to see what type of numbers my daily beater will do. I still have a LONG ways to go before till I am finished but I'm hoping to get it done early this year.
My original plan was: orion 2500d, 2 12" premier ts-w3004spl, pg 6.5" comps, orion 4002, panasonic hu, 2 blue tops. I've done 2 12's before but I decided even before using any of it that I wanted to go a different route. I now have a second 2500d coming and want to upgrade subs. I am set on going with some FI's. Either 2 18" BTL's, but I am leaning more towards 4 15" FI Q's. Like I said this would be strictly a daily setup so I wouldn't be running the amps all out.

| No actually you don't, it has all washed away with the storms we have had in the last month. Everything is now a muddy mess, save for the skihill which has over 6 meters on the top and over 3 meters at the base.

| I'm on VI aswell. I'm currently building my truck and adding stereo junk in there as the days go by. Right now I'm more worried about my lift and t-case gears.
And Taylor arm rocks

| Yea I should be more focused on my vehicle as well. I have all this equipment and the vehicles aren't anywhere near I want them to be. I'm working on an 85 s-10 blazer 4x4. It's just going to be my new DD and I don't wheel so it's just a mild build. 3" BL, re-arched springs, 33's, body work, paint, and a 350 swap. I like my exhaust sounding as good as my music. |

Mmmm, 350 very nice sounding. You could go with a 3" BL then swap front coils for some toyota rears (if it's a solid axle, im not sure if it is)  Have you thought of getting a extended s-10 pickup cab and swapping it over with a flat deck? They look crazy.
I have a 6" for my XJ in my garage...But I also need to build a new bumper, repair some floor and rocker rot..So it's difficult to get started...Dunno what to do first, so exciting

| No it's only going offroad for camping. If I wanted to wheel I would build something else. It has stock 4.11's limited slips, so that will suffice. It's not going to be a very built motor, just enough to move it around. It has IFS and I don't want to swap for a SA. And how the hell would I fit 4 15's in an S-10? Hah Hopefully I can get it on the road for May long weekend and head up to Taylor Arm so that it can piss rain all weekend and flood everyone out. |
