Ok I'm starting this post now. I will add to it as I go. As of now I have the computer built that is going in my Titan. It is a Pentium III 833 mhz 256mb memory DVD drive and only a 10 gig hard drive right now. I will upgrade the hard drive before I install it in the truck. Probably get an 120 gig drive that should be enough to hold my MP3's and movies. I have not begun to build my custom center console. When I do I will post some pictures. I will be putting an 8 inch touchscreen LCD in the dash where the factory radio is now. Since I've never worked with fiberglass it will take me a while to get this project done. I have everything but the LCD now. The new custom center console will hold a 10 inch Infinity Subwoofer. It will fire toward the rear of the truck. I have an older Kicker 360 amp to power the sub. I am still undecided if I will upgrade the head unit or not. Currently I have the factory radio but I have a Pioneer unit that I really liked that was in another vehicle. Keep checking this mod for updates. Pictures to come when I start on center console.

yeeeeha! Can't wait to see it!!!!!!

now that sounds like a hell of a project! Good luck, and can't wait to see the pics!!

one word of warning on fiberglass, when they say you can clean your hands and tools off with acetone, it is a lie. It will lighten fiberglass up a little but not take it off. I would recomend rubber gloves, and not touching anything in the house until you check to see if your hands and clothes do not have any resin on them. I had to buy the wife a new kitchen faucet after I put nice fiberglass fingerprints on the handles. Funny how the 35$ faucet that came with the house needed replaced by a 200$ one. 8)

Possible LCD for cheap? (http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?cid=17436&PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD_ID=717146&fp=F&siteID=isIkAyUyNbM-q8usiMy.Y.MVdAsfJnUhiQ)

WOW!!! That looks like a great deal!!! Does anyone have one of these that can advise how they like it?

Nice price but not touchscreen. See my system will have a pc in it. I need a touchscreen. I will probably get a Lilliput from http://www.mp3car.com/store/ they have some good stuff.

did you read Troutspinner's thread over at TT? he's got his pretty much done. Looks good, too.

So will that computer void the warranty on your cigarette lighter? :lol:

Update?

I have been thinking about that new flush fit Kenwood. I think it has A/V inputs so you could use the screen as the monitor. It also plays DVDs, MP3s etc etc.


S.O.

Yeh I have been thinking about that unit as well. Seems like a lot though when I can get a LCD touchscreen for lots less. Then use the computer for those functions. I have been thinking about this mod. Just haven't had time. When it warms up I will start experimenting with fiberglass. Like I said I have never messed with it before and will probably take a few tries to get right. I don't want a hack job on my truck. Know what I mean.
I will keep you updated though.

Here's one of the BEST sources of fiberglass fabrication that I've found:

Thanks Firecracker I have his site in my favorites. One of my main sources for learning about fiberglassing. The guy can make some great stuff.
