Gotta start somewhere!
Have fun with it.
Thanks. This thing is sitting on over $500 worth of brand new tires that was on it when I got it so I feel the need to get the use out of those tires before I lift it and put bigger tires on it but I'm wanting to do some work on it pretty soon though.

Wow, this makes me missmy 2000. Looked very much like yours does. I don't blame you for wanting to ride on the tires for a while, but you might want to check local tire shops. A lot of the ones around here will take lighly used tires on a sort of trade. You might be able to get a great deal on larger tires if you trade in before you use up the tread.

Use krylon fusion for platics spray paint, pretty easy mod and well worth it

It took me and my dad about 4 hours to do the whole project, provided we have never done anything like this ever before. But after finishing the project and looking back on it, it wasn't too difficult.
I don't know about you all in CO but at the best buy near me, I could have the deck installed for around 50 bucks but I didn't want to wait 3 days to do it so we just done it ourselves :)

Yeah looking good! And installing a deck is extremely simple. If you have the wiring harness and the radio adaptor then you just need some butt-connectors and it's all color coded. Don't worry if there are a couple unused wires, most vehicles don't use them all. Try and get a good set of wire pliers because they will help a ton. You could solder the wires if your up to it, but in every case I've just used the red 18-22 gauge connectors and they work fine. Good luck with all the future mods.
