OG 5th Gen 10-13 models

Mine started peeling years ago. I sanded the worst of it and plasti-dipped. When that starts looking ragged I might wire wheel, paint, powdercoat, or re-dip. I’ve got a back-up set off of an FJ too so I can experiment. Tbh, I like the look of the plasti-dip and I never thought it would have this kind of longevity.

those look great! not a bad idea. i dont know if i want to go black for the wheels though. i like the silvery offset to the MGM and black trim.
 
Does anyone have a comparison of the Morimoto XB vs. H1R bulb in stock reflector?

My 2010 headlights are oxidized/crazed beyond saving and I'm looking for replacement options.

I've seen some reliability issues with the '14+ Morimoto XB's but not alot of feedback on the '10-'13 model.

don't really have a comparison, but my stock headlights were beyond saving, and the Morimotos have been great so far. i would recommend them, but they are pricey!

I upgraded my 11 Trail to a 2019 Entune radio. Everything works including the backup camera.

I need more info please. Was yours the non nav non JBL unit, or a factory nav unit. Also, the 2019 model was JBL? I just bought a 2010 trail with factory Nav and the wife is getting ready to buy a 2014 trail. She's wanting to upgrade her head unit to a T10 and I would plug in her radio, if it would work, into mine.

Yours will be an easier upgrade than mine was since you have the backup camera wires and reverse sense wire already present. I had to track those down and reroute them to the new unit. Mine was the non nav, non JBL, with the backup camera in the rearview mirror. The unit I retrofitted is non JBL. Non-JBL and JBL dont play nice together.

Take a look at this thread. It has all the info you need on doing the conversion. If you want XM radio to work, you'll probably need a new antenna since it seems there was a problem with 10-13 sharkfin antennas degrading over time and eventually failing. I also have an extra Entune radio for sale if you end up needing one. Feel free to PM me.

Happy New Year OG’s, lol!! Love the TE gauges! This truck still runs like new however, needing some new headlights.

what kind of lights are those in the lower grille? I wouldn't mind adding another set of small lights in the lower grille that I can control independently of my headlights. how did you mount those?

Lights are Aux Beam, bought them from Amazon and have been great lights. Drilled a few holes on factory plastic bumper and mounted them. Had to cut out a little of the factory lower grill with my dremel.

oh nice - ya the trail models have that nice little ridge at the bottom of the bumper. my limited doesn't have as much mounting space but it might be enough. thanks for the idea !
 
fcking love the OG models, but updated with newer tech/upgrades without ruining the OG'ness of it all.
 
Here is my 2013 Salsa Trail, I have more pictures, but I'm having an apple issue.
