    Nice! Always wanted to upgrade my stock unit, not really in my truck enough to justify it.
    I do have a problem with it turning on/off, switching from radio to CD and Visa versa or mp3 on its own. Not often, and seems to do it more in hot weather.

    Grass just started greening up nicely last week...been a cold spring with temps no higher than 60. After a week in 60's and some rain, you could hear the grass growing.

    The Green Bean looks pretty good after a long winter with only drive through touchless washes. Last hand wash was November and last wax was October. Hoping to Claybar tomorrow and wax again sometime this week. 2 waxes per year seems to work well. The water is still beading nicely.

    You mow grass.

    I mow something.
    Not sure what it is.
    But I pretend it’s grass so I throw fertilizer and run grub x

    I’d think you could get an operable HU pretty inexpensively.

    I’m in my truck all the time. And a 2200 mile weekend coming up. The stock unit operated flawlessly, but weak. At highway speed I struggled to hear it well. In moments I do like to goose it, it’s like a shot of adrenaline at times. Also wanted the dash navigation.

    this worked out pretty well.

    Nice. And it's hard to beat Crutchfield.

    And I just went back and read the details in your previous post. I was focused so much on the soft top and barely skimmed over the audio details. :thumbsup:

    Actually, they let me down. Not one to trash anyone in a customer service capacity, as I manage a team of CSR's myself. I have a broad 'tolerant' range, but the gal that I spent 45 min on the phone with describing the situation blew it, and I have some items to send back. Sold me a 4 channel amp with the plan to bridge and goose the door speakers, which are high quality. Recommended a good brand, price point worked, I didn't scrutinize the details assuming the best. My error. Non bridgeable amp. Ended up getting the Kenwood amp locally and it's a much better amp than the Alpine, and accommodates the growth I have in mind. In the end it oughta all be good.

    I Am super happy about the soft top though.

    Does this make my butt look big?

    Guess even they make mistakes once in awhile.

    And yes on the butt......but in a full, voluptuous way. :rofl:
