    You listen to the radio? I just cut my antenna, but I don't like listening to the radio.

    I usually listen to pandora but do listen to it from time to time. Didn't really hurt my feelings when I cut it to remove the fenders though.

    That is what I have been using the last 7 years. I ran all the wires up the a pillar and mounted the little box next to the rear view mirror. I have been happy with it. If I was o do it again I would go the same route.

    Yup, the reviews aren't great on Crutchfield but its the best option if someone wasn't able to do what I did.

    Think it all depends on where you mount the receiver box. I did the audio in trick to the stock stereo and only really listen to the radio when I can't use Pandora or my mp3. So when I need out it does what it is supposed to do. I don't have the one from crutchfield but it is very similar.

    So any luck cleaning the garage? Going to check auto zone this evening since I'm not that worried about it since it's not a daily driver. Already have satellite in both our daily drivers and really don't even use it. Just like the radio once I cross the border to help set the mood.:tumbleweed:

    Funny, I painted my Radflo bumps today. I haven't touched them for several years. The cans corroded on the inside where the welds were despite painting them well, and it ate into the bump body coating a little. They still had 113 psi, so I guess that's good news. I'm thinking of using plastidip on the shocks to help preserve them. I usually pull them once a year for inspection, polish, and a fresh coat of wax but derp might work better than paint....
