Hopefully this is cool to post here, but years ago I installed this radio and it worked for quite a while before it started to act weird. It sounded like it popped (fuse is not blown) and it stopped working, afterwards making a high pitched squeal and draining my battery. It has been unplugged...

You trying to trigger my PTSD from those rear top bolts?! Haha Honestly one of the reasons I’m going with the lift is because it comes with new bolts, where the bushings don’t. And looking at the old bolts I don’t think I’m going to get them off in one piece. I didn’t see anyone mentioning...

Looking into that as I type this and def going poly. Looks like energy suspension is the go to. Wondering if I should also throw a 1” lift on to help create that space and because well… why not. Doesn’t seem like there would be any other mods I need to do for a 1” lift.

I put a full tank of gas in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I also changed my plugs and wires, put in a new blend door actuator, and ordered an a/f sensor. I was hoping to get the a/f sensor in before a long trip to Crater Lake and back tomorrow (500+ miles round trip) but at 25% off for home delivery of the part...
