    Have you tried doing wired instead of wireless?

    maybe you’ve got some other electrical gremlin causing interference?

    Wireless is handy locally for short trips but anything over like 30 minutes I do wired cuz I’m gonna need my phone plugged in anyway.

    These days even with the best of the best, all brands have QC issues.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    The fact that it went together easy is a really, really, really, really, really good sign.

    I just hum to myself.












    Or use my CD player :anonymous:

    Don’t have time to fully go into details but each unit that I’ve had has failed for both similar and unique problems. Short story: it’s not just one thing, not isolated to this model, heck not even isolated to this one mfgr but let’s just say Pioneer has some trends and they aren’t good. Multiple phones, iOS updates make no difference and neither do firmware updates. They have fully cheaped out on hardware and still charge premium prices based on their name. Same screw job all mfgrs seem to be doing now.

    Also its 2024 and wires have gone the way of the CD player. The future has arrived!

    Well, maybe not everyone has modernized but hey do what works for you.

    Crazy Horse Memorial and museums are super cool. Had no idea how much was here. 10/10 recommend if you are in the Black Hills.

    Still a work in progress, privately funded. It's despised by many native groups. I saw it as a kid of maybe 12 or 13 and it's massive and impressive. Weird thing is Crazy Horse refused to be photographed and would probably hate the fact that someday a mountain would be carved on sacred land in his likeness.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    They're like 50 years into the project...though it seems they spend more time these days on fundraising than on construction.

    Taking advantage of a sunny day off to get the tight n' scratchy out.
    Nu Finish Scratch Doctor.
    I use it because my old man always did.
    Not bad.

    As far as the actuator.
    The good news is I'm no longer in 4wd.
    The bad news is 4WD won't engage.
    I can hear the actuator turning the gears and moving smoothly.
    The 4WD indicator flashes on the dash when 4HI is selected.

    A.D.D was mentioned up north and by the looks of it (through the dry mud) there is one on the front passenger side of the clamshell.
    I'm wondering did the front fork get damaged or knocked out of time.
    Project for the weekend.

    Truck wash starts tomorrow.
    Scratch removal starts after wash and will last until the next scratchy ride.

    Tires, Softopper, fully armored, winch, many pinstripes.
    4wd is highly overrated.
