Some notes to get us caught up on the existing additions:
* STI 8mm plug wires
Cheaper than Magnecor, made in the USA, and they feel very nice. I've had them on for about 9,000 miles and I am very happy with them.
* DynoMax Ultraflow stainless muffler, resonator delete
The muffler was $50. Another made in the USA option. Had my exhaust guy (Babes and Lightning in San Jose) cut out the rusted and punctured stock box and weld this in. The resonator was trashed, so he replaced that with a turndown - looks completely stock and is tucked up higher than the factory box. Also quite a bit lighter. It also sounds VERY nice. At idle, I have a nice low burble and at freeway speeds there is a very slight increase in noise. At WOT, you can tell there's something different, but volume levels are low. With the windows up, it is still refined and quiet. (though my factory exhaust was rusted out, so it wasn't as quiet as a new factory exhaust)
* Alpine CD/MP3/iPod stereo running through the STOCK AMPS to Clarion speakers (yes, it all works)
Get the Metra wiring harness for a 1995 Discovery. Use it to hook up the amplifiers to your preouts on the new receiver. Throw away the harness for the receiver power and just do good splices. Speakers are a matter of unscrewing and reattaching, though I did go with the new grilles - the LR speaker grilles were brittle and dying. The Clarions I used (4" coaxials) have very good clean sound with the stock amp. The Alpine has a USB dongle that I have plugged into a 4gb jump drive. This gives me 800 songs. I have four jump drives, labeled with categories: general (my current iTunes playlist), road trip (big drive with 2000 songs), mellow (romantic girlfriend songs), and loud (old school rap, classic rock, alternative, hard country)
* Yokohama Geolandar AT's in 215/85-16 (no rub, and they made my speedometer perfectly accurate)
I have had these tires before - very quiet and responsive on the pavement with no tramlining and long life. Great in wet/snowy conditions. I haven't done any super hardcore offroading on Geolandars, but they did fine in Hollister and my brother has loved them on his Xterra.
* Hella 700(?) driving lights
They're big and came with the car. I like them because they're brighter than any high beams coming my way
* Cobra 400/800 peak inverter, hardwired under driver seat
Technically it's not as cleanly installed as I would like. I am in an online degree program, and we meet for three-hour blocks twice a week. I sit in the truck in the McDonalds parking lot and this keeps my computer charged... I'm happy
