    Added an Alpine power-pack to stereo system. Now I have a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT HU, Boston Acoustics SC95 co-axials in front, and the Power-Pack.
    Will replace rear speaks in a while.

    Thanks,

    As soon as All Pro has their 2012 front bumper ready, I'm ordering it.

    I need to find out best the winch fit.

    I had a Warn 9500 Ti with synthetic on my 2010 JK

    [​IMG]

    and I would like to use the same on the Taco bumper if the ergonomics work.

    My OME lift w/Dakars and light racing UCAs should arrive this week.

    Once I do these mods, I'm done for a while.

    Except for rock sliders.

    I just want those before I go back to Moab next year.

    heres what i did to my truck today-
    installed carbon fiber look vinyl to a/c control panel (i hated the shiny black plastic look) and i installed overhead led's to the trim panel where the bluetooth mic is- now it shines down onto my cupholder and into my cubby

    Did you mod the a/c panel rings black or did they come like that? I want to swap out mine with some black ones to get away from the silver.

    Yeah, if this doesn't work thats what I'm doing next. I have some 1/4" neoprene, but I think its a bit thick so I'll get some 1/8" if I go that route. Ill update in my build thread if/when I do that...

    I have wheeled my truck since the day I took it off the lot. Mine stock were always quiet as could be. When I put in my AAL is when the squeaking started.

    spend the $62 and take the 15 minutes to fix it for good. I tried all the homemade tricks which worked for a few weeks but all eventually failed.
