    I hate my plain black one. If I order that, could you give me a hand putting it in? I wouldn't even know where to start if i tried my myself.

    Your odometer is off? Do you mean your speedometer? I messed up all of my needles when I did my dash LEDs. It's such a pain. I'm planning on fixing them soon.

    Yes, speedometer is what I meant. :p


    I can help put the kit in. :D



    Can you specify your question a little? :D


    Hook the navi up? There's an antenna that came with it. It's on my roof. I'll take a picture later. :)


    I am a little disappointed in the maps it provided. They are like 10 years old... :eek:


    The road that I take to get to school is listed as a dirt route and the GPS doesn't even recognize it...I'm looking for some sort of map update though...

    You answered my question. :D I didnt really know how to ask it. Now is all you had to do is turn the HU on and push the Navi button and the routes appeared? I think on the back of mine there is a Navi plug, so it made me curious.

    So I got new tires yesterday because some ass clowns slashed my old ones. That's my newest mod. :p

    Anyways, I noticed my rims had gotten a little scratched up from off-roading. I'm not going to lie, I love my rims. I think they look awesome. I hate that they're all scratched up though. I also hate when people say "it's just a truck" and think that scratches are acceptable. :p

    I want my ride to look nice!! :p

    So I was thinking of maybe getting my Enduros coated with bed liner...


    I saw it on an XTerra here in San Diego and I have to admit that it looked BAD FREAKING ASS.


    What do you guys think??

    Really? They would be that heavy? I just figured it would be cheaper than powder coating them. I figured it would hold up a little better too. :p

    It would add a substantial amount of unsprung weight to the truck. Is the finish on the wheels flat or glossy?

    Flat. It's the same finish as my grille.


    Here's what it would look like:

    That does look pretty good. I guess that the rattle can stuff isn't near as thick as the Line X, Rhino stuff. Might be OK...I guess. You can be our guinea pig.
