Sick all day with a cold. Then I could not take it anymore. Got in my rig at about 7:30 and just went for a drive for about 20 minutes. 7000 RPM's in 2nd. Then went back to bed.

Not totalled and bill came to $10k for repairs. They are replacing the bumper with a new oem replacement, thinking of doing ppt on it since my original bumper looked terrible with chips.

Took delivery of mine, Debadged it and removed some excess wax from the previous owner. Then installed a JL 10" sub with Kenwood amp taping into the rear speaker wires near the factory amp. I also did the clutch return spring "mod".

not bad for less than 9 hours of ownership.

I put on an Ebay exhaust. For $188 it doesn't sound bad at all. Tints are next.

did you still need to run the power wire to the battery, the signal wire to the radio? Did it come with a x-over built in?


Stereo upgrade is one of my "to do" lists

The converter I bought tapped into the 4 wires from the amp in the trunk that are from the head unit to the amp. The dark green wire on the amp is a OEM signal wire you can tap into. My amp has a crossover I set to 120hz.


Today I removed the “noise maker”

No accounting for taste, I guess. I rather like them, too. I know the circle of LEDs harks back to 90s SUVs, but I don't care. With all the swoopy curves of the sheet metal, the geometrically perfect circle looks like it means business, like the wheels.

I did mod mine, because the dinky little back up lights are useless. Now the former signal part of the unit has super bright clear LED bulbs for backing and the red circles have taken on the job of blinking my turns.
