It only took a week to take the steps off. I like it much better without the steps. Also quick detailed it.





Buffed, polished and then sealed my headlights and fog lights (hard photo i know)



Purchased a Pioneer AVHP4400BH with XM module and steering controls. Install was really easy and straight forward. I installed the XM module in the rear in place of the factory DVD/NAV. Was a little unnerving to tear it completely apart being so new to me.









Once that was all completed i got this gem in the mail.



I have XREAS and really like the ride so i didnt want to get rid of that for a little height.

Installed





Before:


After:


I looked over craigslist and found a really good deal on 265/70/17 Mickey Thompson MTZs so i jumped on it and got them mounted up. I really love the look. Ill be getting spacers here around Christmas time so thatll help even more.

To be honest, I love my OLW 2.5" kit and it feels a little better than my XREAS did on road, so I wouldn't be afraid of ditching it for some extra height as long as you get a good lift with some stiffer springs.

Looks great! keep up the work!

Yeah, ive been debating between the Bilstein adjustables and a coilover kit. I just really like the ride of the XREAS so i dont want a stiff ride. I have had great success with Bilstein's too so im a little biased.

Thanks.

Very nice work! Can you tell me how you sealed your headlights? I'm about to attempt to seal and polish mine too.

i used Adams Quick Sealant. I also use it on my paint and wheels as well. Its aerosol and uses very little. Once i polished the headlights i sealed them and they are good for 6+ months. I love this stuff. Best "top" safeguard for everything i have.

You can use any wax technically once you polish.

Bought and installed an LED "pack". Does all the interior lights that's not a dash light. I'm impressed. Incredibly bright and easy install. Took about 10 min total.







Haven't gotten a pic of the door lights and cargo light but you get the idea.
