    Took out these pitiful speakers today and upgraded em all. Also added an amp and sub for temporary to see how I like it. So far so good but need a little time with them.

    Sound quality is worlds better than stock

    Used some JVC 2 way for the front and rear with the adapter plates from Amazon

    What haven’t I changed?
    Are you going to have more cutouts in that center plate so you don’t have to reach through your fog lights to get to the winch clutch?

    So you all know im a cheap ass bit found some pretty good st covers im trying out now. Dickies covers from the Walmart were 33 bucks after tax. There is double layer where you slide in/out so we will see how good they are. Feel good and can't complain on the fitment for the seat or headrest. Will take pics when they flatten out a bit

    At almost 240k this weekend did a new rack and pinion, radiator chemical flush, driveshaft greased (ran outta time to pull and change to a new poly carrier bearing)

    All that said and done I'm stoked to drive it again, have full steering with out hitting fenders. Bad news is gotta get a new clock spring now :annoyed:
