Ok so the flares have something clipping them to the body other than the screws inside the wheel well. I don't want to break those. I will tape off the flares and paint them on the truck another time.
I looked up all the rpo codes and was pleased to see both an oil cooler and a transmission cooler. I was a little disappointed to see that it only has the 105 amp alternator rather than the 140 amp one. I will have to upgrade that if I go to dual batteries.

Also according to the rpo codes I have the 44 gallon fuel tank. I see the needle get close to the red part near the E so I went and filled it up. It took 35.6 gallons. This tank I got 12.59 mpg. That included the end of the vacation. According to that I still had over 8 gallons of gas, I could have gone another 96 miles.
Easiest stereo install ever!! I ordered from crutchfield and got the custom wire harness that is specifically for my burb.
Here's all the stuff. A JVC Bluetooth head unit, wire harness, antenna adaptor, install plastic to turn a two din spot into a one din spot. Twist connectors for the wires.
All assembled. The twist wire connectors were really fast. The instructions included hooking a lead to the factory amp in the burb to tell it to turn on, now my rear door speakers work.
The old unit, it says Pontiac on it, so I know it wasn't original to the truck.
Dash taken apart, all I had to do was pull on the trim, it came right off. Plugged into the factory harness.
In and working.
Impressions so far. I was super impressed with it connecting to my phone via Bluetooth and playing my music off of it, and even taking a call hands free. We plugged my sons iPod touch into it and it worked without a hitch. Then we had both my dumb phone and my wife's iPhone Bluetooth connected at the Same time. The USB port is powered so it charges the phone at the same time.
I thought I would need a sub woofer, but after tuning it a little I am very pleased with the sound so I won't be adding a sub.

Oh, it does not have a CD player. That was intentional. I can put most of the digital music I own on a USB drive and play it from there. It also plays pandora radio off of the iPhone and the remote will let you thumbs up and down, and skip, etc.
Super freaking cool!
Super freaking cool!

HA HA, Chilli that's too funny, however I swapped my head unit in my zj to the optional (though modified for some more modern wiring) cassette/cd combo...... I still have some cassettes that I love listening too..... insert jokes at any point. Nice install though!
