    Did someone say meet/meat?! :spy:
    So after we adjusted the brakes to allow the drums to fit back on, Chris and I readjusted the brakes again to allow minimal travel when applied.
    So besides the power issue, and lack of additional functions that you would have vs a aftermarket unit. The biggest issue I have with the newer model is the washout it has on the screen from the sun. It is AWFUL! You can not see the screen at all when the sun hits it. :annoyed:

    Try driving a sport with a cracked windshield. If the hood scoop don't get you then the crack will and either way you won't be able to look at the screen lol

    I did not upgrade the head unit as I did not want to flaunt the fact that I have thousands of dollars in aftermarket audio equipment in the truck. Mine all looks stock for that reason. Less people want to break in and steal a factory radio then a high end one, IMO.

    I can do tuesday.

    Nah no need for new drums man, those thing are still young. Most of the time you rear drums never need to be changed. I think there might be some air in the lines up front somehow.

    I have a Pioneer headunit, pretty similar to that one. They're great units and the screen quality is nice.
