    Sorry, I didn't stay around for the install. Ate breakfast and came back an hour later...:D I did however initially attempt it myself thinking they were plug n play. Getting into the door panel is easy, as well as seeing the 2 missing wires in the door harness. That's when I stopped.

    I added some to mine a few weeks ago, too. Love 'em.
    Don't really take long to install provided you have all the tools including a rivet gun. Most of my time was spent second-guessing myself and fretting before drilling the holes.

    Measure twice (or three or four times)...drill once. Also, be careful of the kickback on the rivet gun and don't scratch your paint anywhere.

    Oh I can make more, but the material and decals alone are over $100. That's delrin. Very nice to machine, but it's abrasive to cutting tools, and actually wears out the carbide inserts. So I just don't think most people would want to pay over $200 just for some center caps.

    Installed a GW 1 dashcam, for 60 bucks you can't go wrong, for your Offroad excursions or proof in a traffic mishap they are priceless. Continuous loop in 5 minute increments on a 16 gig micro sd card with date and time stamped. Just dont splurge and buy and expensive model that has GPS that record your speed to law enforcement, you might self incriminate... Tried to show a small clip but it would not go in attachments.

    What do you use the CD radio for? Do your friends also have them? Recently I hooked up a CB after years of not using one and found the channels 99.9% empty. Well; except for people talking to Puerto Rico from NYC in Spanish.

    Is the quality in sound with just a head unit upgrade a huge difference?

    I found it to be a minor upgrade with the stock speakers. But i attribute that more to the equalizer and being able to adjust things. Was it really noticeable? Not really IMO. If looking for sound improvement id probably go with new speakers and stock headunit vs new headunit and stock speakers. But that is just me

    Initial thoughts on sound? Noticable loss of back pressure or low end torque being a 3" pipe?

    I've been to Bend a bunch of times too. I went to webcyclery to order my trials bike in person, and have been to the High Desert museum a few times too. My daughter really likes that place. My dad lives in Redland.
