Double din Kenwood DVD. Already have a portable navi. No add-on for speakers or sub. Going cheap route for now. Single mono amp for stock sub. If needed I will get a shallow mount sub like JL audio or Pioneer. Cheapest but surely better than the muffled sound JBL.
I will get the springs/shock installed today. Wish I had done it yesterday.:Cry:

Wanted to change the look a bit so I decided to remove the center caps, remove the rust, paint the inner rotors flat black, and leave the center caps off. I like it, looks a bit more rugged.
I hated not having center caps but I agree, it looks a little beefier
I installed my Clazzio's and Rostra seat heaters. Installation took about 3-1/2 hours, including the obligatory donut break. I'll finish up the wiring on the seat heaters tomorrow.

Whats wrong and where are you in nova?
I'm in Centreville. The castle nut on the driver's side UCA ball joint won't budge and started to strip. I drove around all day looking for a replacement but couldn't find anyone that carries just a castle nut - at least in the size I need. Closest option I found was $45 for a ball joint that came with a castle nut. I'm not about to drop that much for a nut!
The other side came apart just fine, but I can't separate the UCA at the ball joint. But I just found this, so maybe I'll just bypass all my problems entirely lol

i think i have an extra oem castle nut if you want it and you can use my impact wrench to get the old one off if you want. I'm in Arlington as of Thursday if you don't get it resolved by then
I really appreciate it! Are you moving down here?
I've got a buddy swinging by tomorrow and we'll see if one of the extras he has is the right size. If not, I'll try the method I found that bypasses it. If all else fails, you'll be hearing from me lol

Yeah, I've been in the process of moving since early May, will be down there for good as of Saturday the 7.
Let me know if you need the hand, if you're not replacing UCAs you can just disconnect the LBJ and drop the LCA, you will have plenty of room that way, but those bolts can also suck, if you have XREAS, i found disconnecting UBJ to be very helpful, used a small pitman arm puller.
finally had a v-8 runner come into the dealer today with a system on it. Was sold as soon as I heard. Gonna be awhile before it shows but I got it for $600.00 (thumbs up)

Just got done installing the rear Fj moogs. First thing you notice side by side is the Fj is taller by about an inch. Pretty sure we all expect that. But what I didn't expect was the bottom spring did not seat properly into the coupling. As it sits right now it haven't fully seated. Maybe some hard wheeling would squeeze it in. It's a tad smaller in diameter than the stock. Pretty sure it will seat itself in. But no noise and the ride is much better for sure. Early assessment under 10 miles driven so far. Will keep y'all posted. Oh and the gains are just over an inch.
