    Even though the non-kick outs look better in my opinion.. they saved my rear fender.

    Coming around a corner pivoting around a rock(kinda like the picture you posted of that 2nd gen). I came to the kickout, it pushed the rock away from me just enough so that it wouldn't rip off my little fender flare thing. Without the kickout the rock 100% would have came in contact with my bedside and flare things

    When I built my sliders I thought they stuck out to far. But now I'm glad they are on the wide side.

    Ended up finding frozen burritos instead, just as good really since I don't have to use the oven.

    Got rid of the POS touchscreen pioneer for this Alpine CDE-HD149BT Single Din paired with the Paranoid Fab 6-switch plate and finally installed my Rigid Flood ditch lights and all my new switches for my other two sets of lights.

    depends on if you're using relays and if your making your harness or buying one. Wiring a single switch is easy and you can daisy chain the grounds and switch lighting circuits for multiple switches.

    Which wire did you tap into? Or did you wire it so that both upper and lower part of the switch is illuminated?

    Mines got HD radio...its super nice and i love the lcd display. Looks like a mini touchscreen. Sound clarity is amazing even though its putting out only 18 watts per speaker. Thats the only thing thats bad...i like a little more bass than the 18 watts its putting out. So im gonna buy a mini amplifier from alpine, it will bump it up to 45 watts per speaker. Here are some links if you are interested.

    I'll have a look at it, I'm not worried about the output from the head unit as I already have amps. But I just want a solid unit that can play HD radio and bluetooth.
