Few more pictures:

Here is a quick update on a recent project I've been working on. In preparations for the coming summers adventures, built a device panel of sorts. Cell phone holder, tablet for the navigator and dedicated usb charging ports. Just finishing up the front panel, rear support structure and the...

Went on a quick day trip down Rampart Range Road and had a picnic with the family. Aside from some washboard roads, it was a fun trip with a little exploring down a side road loop (path: 325 - 324 - 323). With some snow on the ground and no traffic, it was a very easy and fun route. Certainly...

Continuation of the stereo project: Front doors are mostly complete. Waiting on some better quality fabric tweeters to finalize the speaker replacement. Insulation was a little time consuming, but easy to install. Rear speaker install will be a little more involved as I will...

2002 Limited. Fog lights are tinted.

They are the same size. Camra phone has a wide angle lens that ready skews the outer edges. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

Few pictures from around Kingston Peak.

Few pictures of the progress over the weekend. Stereo is installed and while the console was apart we gave it a deep clean. Vents also came out and were cleaned and new foam installed to help seal the units. Will plan to reseal the vents near the doors at a later date. Switches were dismantled...

Why the desire to run a narrow tire out of curiosity? Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

Not much of an update, but finally got around to some maintenance and repair this weekend. Installed a Magnaflow cat on tyre car to clear a cat efficiency code. Install was straight forward however I had to bend the drivers side heat shielding slightly for the O2 sensor to clear. The car runs...

We recently had the front windows tinted in a 40% bronze shade. They look nice, but are a lighter shade then the rest. The tint works really well and made a huge difference.

From another trip up Kingston Peak the other week:

Looks like you had a good time. The Monty does surprisingly well with this sort of terrain. Was there last week for the second time this season. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

Great pictures! How have the skid plates been working for you?

Thanks! The pictures don't show a metal bracket that helps support the lower trim parts. I cut that in half and drilled a single hole in each bracket post to assist with the placement of a few zip ties. It keeps the inner fender liner from going into the tire with the zip tie.

Spent a little time making sure there was sufficient tire clearance with the 0-offset wheel and aggressive oversized tires. Touched the inner wheel well slightly at full lock and decided to just trim the bumpers while there. Suffice to say, there is now plenty of clearance as I went overboard...

The Bilstein struts in the front have options to raise the spring perch 10mm and I believe I used that setting. I've still yet to install the rear struts. Otherwise the car is essentially at stock ride height on factory springs.

New wheels and tires arrived just after my trip, so I'll be testing then out in the mountains west of Denver in the coming weeks. They are rather aggressive looking and a bit taller than oem, which is what I was going for. Quick specs: Wheel is a 16x8 et 0 made by Level 8, Mk6. Tires are...

16x8, 265-75r16. Need to better secure the plastic wheel arch as I went with a zero offset rim and it touches slightly when turning sharply. Wheels are made by Level 8 and model is the Mk6.
