Recent update: Being a bit of an audiophile I was itching to upgrade the stock speakers in the runner. Finished up putting in Rockford Fosgate replacements in the front doors, rear doors, and tailgate. Incredibly easy, and plug and play thanks to Crutchfields.
Initial impressions are that the upgrade was certainly worth it and could be done again in maybe 30-45 minutes total. The system is much cleaner and responsive with all types of music. Being much more capable of handling power the new speakers do seem a tad under powered but that is just offset by turning up the volume past my regular spots. Biggest improvement was the rear tailgate where there would be a thud when the bass would be hitting harder but now its irrelevant, sounds great.
Got the parts and free install gear from Crutchfield which was certainly a plus.

Did your front springs soften up? Mine seems to be a bit bouncy. Not sure if I have too much preload on the spring at that .85 setting.

They are still a bit stiff, But for my personal preference a stiffer ride is what I like so doesnt bother me too much. I plan on going to a full king setup in the future though.

Do you have a link to the Lightbar? I really like the look of this one and was considering the Baja Designs version when I picked up a roof rack but the light is as much as a roof rack... lol

I can get the link if you want but its just an amazon special. Im thinking of upgrading to BD lights all around in the future but for now that single row throws plenty of light and havent had any issues with moisture.

Nice Rig!! My In-Laws live in Powhatan. Is there any decent wheeling down that way? I go to GWNF as much as I can (not enough...). I recognized Reddish Knob and what looks like Flagpole Knob in your pics. It's nice up there. The forest road is fun, but not very challenging.

Theres not much around Richmond to do, we usually head to GWNF for trips and I agree its not very challenging.

Recent shot after swapping out my OME889s for Icon Overland springs in the rear, and new CaliFab trailing arms. Gave about an inch if not more additional lift, only a few weeks left before the SSO Rear.arty:
Nice rig, I do like the blue.
