The Wood Trim Is From A Place In North Hills California Called "unique Emblems" And Is The Real Thing. It Is Not The Stick On Like The Burly Red Wood. It Is The Original Part Replaced By Wood. You Have To Give Them The Original Part And They Make It In Wood. It Is Very Very Pricey But To Me It's Worth It. Here's The Name And Address Of The Store If You Are Interested: Unique Emblems The Address Is 8729 Aqueduct Ave. In North Hills California 91343 Telephone # (818) 787-1188 And Cell # (818) 357-7625 The Owner Name Is Unisa Conteh

Thanks Soldier, All The Pieces That You See In The Pictures Plus The Front & Rear Doors Were $1750.00. That's Including The Steering Wheel. Now I'm Getting Ready To Do The Overhead Which Is About Another 1200.00. The Head Units That I'm Running Are The Pioneer Avic-n1 "navigation, Dvd, Cd, Mp3, Unit" Right Below Is An Alpine Mini Disc Player. The Navigation Has Voice Command. A Lot Of My Music Is On Mini Disc And That's Why I Had A Mini Disc Player Installed Thru The Aux. The Microphone For The Voice Command Is On My A Pillar To My Left And There's Also A Tv Tunner Under The Driver Seat. All My Door Speakers Were Updated To Jl Audio Components. The Front Doors Were Changed To 6.5 From 6x9 And The Tweeters On The Dash Were Also Updated. There Is A 4 Channel Sony Amp Pushing My Doors And A Rockford Fostgate Pumping The 2 12's Fostgates. There Is A Smaller 2 Channel Amp Pushing The 2 6x9 In The Box With The Amps To Balance The Sound. Without Those 6x9's From The Back Seat You Hear Nothing But Bass And Didn't Sound Right Sitting Back There. Now The Sound Is Balanced And Sweet. The 2 Headrest Monitors Are Pioneers Model Avd-w6200. If You Have Any Other Q's Just Ask.

Damn PIMP! I asked about your interior in another thread, but now I see whats what. Those are some serious modifications! I am headed in the same direction, but I will never make it up to to that level of blingindom. I love it!

I must admit I am impressed. my question... is did you dynamat your interior before the sound upgrade or did you just have the roof tsb only. I would think with all that bump the roof would give you a nastey sound.

I AM THE PICKY TYPE AND HATE RATTLES AND OR SQUEAKS AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I HAVE NONE OF THE TWO. I DID NOT USE ANY DYNAMAT IN THE TRUCK AND THE ROOF WAS NOT TOUCHED. THE ONLY RATTLE I GET IS FROM THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER AND BELIEVE ME I AM SERIOUSLY WORKING ON IT. THE SYSTEM BUMPS PRETTY GOOD AND CLEAN. I HAVE TO SAY I'VE BEEN REALLY LUCKY WITH THIS TRUCK BECAUSE A LOT OF THINGS THAT MEMBERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED. I AM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED. THANKS

Not trying to be an ***, I'm just curious...how do you type that many sentences in a row, capitalizing every word..."Like This And Like That" ....my god, it must take you forever to post a message. :eek:

I believe its just caps lock on. Where I work the computers use a system and you have to have caps lock on or the system doesn't understand. Sometimes when I open a browser at work and start replying to messages I forget to take caps off. Then I get the same thing.

M4ck I think he was refering to just the first letter being capital, Lurker I think there is a way in MS Word to do that so he might be typing and pasting from that....just my guess.

Hey, I'm a new member of clubarmada and I'm already impress with everything that I saw. I like what you did with your interior. I'm from the east coast and we don't have much of modification available unlike cali. I'm originally from Cali. I was thinking of putting a new billet grille and wooden trim on my mada but couldn't find the place to buy it. Thanks for the info about unique emblems.

That's the way it came. I'm wondering, don't they all???

The two-tone is the way all TAN interiors come, but the tan interior is kinda rare so a lot of folks haven't seen the contrast first hand. I have a tan interior/Blizzard Armada on order. I had to order one because over the course of a five week search that spanned from east Texas to north Washington, I could not a find a single Blizzard 4WD LE with tan interior (and tech package!).

The dealers unanimously claimed that the contrast of tan leather to grey plastic is a turn off to most consumers, so they don't see many of them and cringe when one shows up off the truck.

Heck, the color contrast was what I liked most about the interior, but to each his own.

I totally agree with you. the two tone interior was different for a change and i liked it.

That is a nice looking knob but i doubt it is the same color of my wood trim. I have seen the burly red that you have and it is different from mine.

Was that $1750 for every thing or just the wood? I am iterested in just the wood so can you tell me how much that was by itself.

Did you retain your OEM controls on the steering wheel and rear console? Just curious cause I really want the AVIC-N1 but don't want to loose the steering wheel controls. Also where can you get the faceplate for the DIN openings? Thanks in advance.

that wood trim fits in great, have you considered the same color trim for the headrest monitors?
also, how much power are you putting through your audio system?

Hey ALEX, I'm from Cali myself and we are pretty much in the same boat as far as experience in the forum thing, but hey about those pics you posted, i noticed the cool foot rest(dead pedal) and pedals you have. Can you you help a bro out and tell me where you gottem? TNX.

Bliz, this is how it goes. I purchased two sets of TENZO automatic Pedals at a place called "OHC MOTORING" in Reseda Cali. You will need two sets of pedal because you will need the second brake pedal to use as a dead pedal. First i bought a piece of "OAK" 1"X4" wood. The reason I used Oak is because it is a hard wood. The brake pedal will be curved. flatten it out then cut out a piece of the 1X4 the same shape of the brake pedal. sand it and coat the oak with pollyurethane. once you have that prepped attach the piece of wood to the floor. If you lift the carpet in that corner you'll notice an arched piece of plastic. you can safely screw that into the plastic then you just screw the pedal to the piece of oak. oh btw counter sink the screws in the wood when you attach it to the floor so your pedal sits flat. really easy. let me know if you need any help

TNX! for the info, and when ever i get back home after this deployment I'll show you the pics after i get done. I can't wait to get home and start work on those pedals. Thank's again!!
