@retrofive. What are you pushing 600w mono through? If more than 1 sub, the Phoenix gold was less than 1ohm stable while I don't think the alpine is.

Single JL 10W7
I had the pheonix bridged and one channel went out. unbridged and used until the 2nd channel went out. I'm not a audiofile. The pheonix was free and had been well abused in several of my cars/trucks. over the years. Probably could be repaired I suppose.
Probably not, the old Phoenix Gold company has been out of business for quite a while. They just started back up, but I don't think it is the same group?
10w7 is a great sub for that amp. I am sure it will sound great!

that's really cool
I gotta get a MIG/TIG setup. Top notch work there.
Installed rear sway bar links.
Got the bumper on. It's from Jason at Cruisin Offroad.
Fitted front light bar
Getting closer, was hoping to paint today but the hood needed lots of cleanup. Can't wait till it's done! 
Now that is one good looking bumper. If I hadn't found a local selling an ARB I would have bought one of these. Heck, maybe I still will, if I could get the cost of my ARB back !

We just got back from a two-week trip from our shop in Seattle down to Overland Expo in Flagstaff. Spent about a week and a half getting to Flagstaff and checked out a lot of the country in between, including some great back-country exploring in Southern Idaho, the Silver Islands BLM area off of the Salt Flats, all over the Zion/Grand Staircase area, Monument Valley and more. below are some photo highlights from the trip. If anyone wants any tips let me know.

Replaced my O2 sensors and only had to buy 1 tool to get it done. My damaged bolt extractors got stolen a few years ago and I hadn't replaced them. 3 of 4 bolts came out easily the last one was a pain in the rear.
I think I also solved my EGR code as well, will be going on a test drive this evening to make sure.
Edit: SUCCESS! No CEL codes at all now. Yay! The EGR has been bugging me for a long time.

This is how it looks with the hood installed.

OMG! I need to win the lotto so I can take trips like this!
Did you notice an improvement in your MPG? I'm thinking of doing the same upgrade and was wondering the impact it would have...
