  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Good guess but nope!

    A GTO cannot fit a Gb10, GB25 and an 8 inch Jl midbass all together in one kickpanel. The newride has a decently large kickpanel area.

    Lol.... us married guys definitely develope a different kind of patience dont we!


    So for your comment I will provide another few clues to keep you in the game. upload_2022-4-24_8-30-4.gif

    -There are no power windows.

    -It has two passenger doors

    -The factory radio location must be modified to fit a modern radio.

    American made! Big clue.

    If I wanted one brand new, I could buy one at a dealership tomorrow. Huge clue

    Great guess but nope. I used to drive my Dads...um, I think 73 CJ when I was in highschool. I loved that thing though!
    The one I drove was 2 door so you had that part pretty close.

    Okay, I will make it more fair. Since every one is losing interest in my little guessing game, I will add the biggest hint of all.

    The vehicle that I have now put a downpayment on and am waiting for the final financing rates to come back for .................is on the following website.
    https://www.classiccarssd.com/cars-for-sale

    So there you go. The answer is there but the haystack is now much much smaller!

    Nope. Which brings me to two even bigger hints.


    1.The vehicle you seek is located with the first 5 of the 9 pages of cars for sale.

    2.The vehicle was not manufactured within the last 20years.


    Now if you really think about my previous clues, you will be able to figure it out.

    What?!!! You mean like this 72 blazer that I recently took photos of on a short trip to South Dakota? I mean, why would any right minded human being sell a perfectly good 60k mile SRT jeep daily driver in order to drive a slow, loud, old hag of a vehicle? I mean, why would any normal person do such a thing?

    Lets see here-Would the 8 inch, 2.5 inch and 1 inch tweeter fit in the kick panels?
    Would there be enough space for two 15 inch sound quality subwoofers?
    Hmm?.....interesting

    Like what? Are you trying to assume that @timesublime guessed correct? Lol would I be the type of gentleman that would drive such a big slow crappy riding vehicle?

    Looks like a white, 1972 Chevy K5 Blazer disappeared from the dealer website. That's weird right? :)
