What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you like the old Kenwood 958? How well did it plumb in to the factory harness and cell antenna? Were you able to retain much of the Factory personal setting adjustments?
Mine is a 19 NON JBL

 

Technically you’re still 2.5” higher than stock. I thought the same with my lift since I still had some rake, but noticed I was still lighting up oncoming sedan drivers faces. Just a 8mm box end ratcheting wrench is all you need. Easy peasy.

 

Real off roading parts cost real money...
I'm still trying to figure out why this is so controversial lol

 

The difference in gas mileage without the air dam is negligible. It will look so much better.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

Why would one cut the steps off?

 

Man the bronze looks so good, I'm curious how'd it look with red.

 

My old one was the 957, went with the 958 now. I loved it, never had any problems with it and it’s over 3 years old and about 70K miles. I used a Maestro RR2 for the steering wheel controls and then a bunch of small adapters for the antenna and stuff like that. I have a 21 non-JBL. I made a pretty detailed thread about my swap and I can also answer questions in PM if needed. It’s a good swap.

All of the factory settings are retained with the Maestro.

 

Just for looks, really. I will leave mine how they are, though. Wife likes the steps, steps are staying.

 

Very wise choice.

 

When i took my air dam off I lost about 1 mpg.

 

Like I said, negligible. The air dam is fugly IMHO.

 

Any negligible amount is welcome with gas prices being what they are! Might drop it out of necessity once it’s time for new tires because I’ll be upsizing at that time.

 

That is why I took it off...I did think about putting it back on till gas prices go back down

 

Stayed at work late to install my front and rear blue sumo springs, like many others it made ot way easier to cut down the threads for the fronts but still took less than an hour all said and done. Initial impressions is no major difference driving, seems like it handles bumps better up front but subtle enough that it could just be my imagination. Either way I am happy with my choice and feel it will be suitable for my needs.

Agreed

 

AARP approved

 

just brush up against a stump on the trail and it will disappear

 

Where did you buy the clamps? Mine could use a few more.
