Nothing amazing, just a JVC unit that gave me BT, ipod integration, etc. The part that makes it palatable, to me, is that it has enough colors to sorta match the green of other instruments and such. This shot kinda illustrates that.

Best solution is to get a used factory unit with a vin#. Then send it to this guys and have it clean it up!

I got the radio and vin for $40 and for $200 he put in new leds fixed the tape player and added an AUX. all functions work even CD.

That's the pickle. Either he's great and hangs the moon or he keeps your radio and your money.

Actually doing the coil conversion, on another truck
So I finally got the chance to do a coil conversion (and assist with upper a arms for that matter). Clifford (the big red dog) from Twin Mtn hit approx 175k and the EAS was clapped out so John opted for the heavy load +2 coil conversion kit, and thus yesterday we said out with the old EAS and in with the new coils.
I can't even deal with rotating the damn pic. Removal wasn't too bad, the rear upper nut all the way around is a bit of a PITA to access. Everything else was easy esp with air tools. Install wasn't hard but for the rears needing to be clocked slightly (spring compressors), once that was sorted it was easy.
Stance looks good and I'm interested to see how it rides since I'm seriously considering ordering just the HD springs for the back of mine. Hardware took the better part of a slow to start, hot in the middle, day. Today we play with software options but more on that depending on success we have (or lack thereof).
My truck soldiers on, few mods at the moment b/c life. Preparing to move, again, also cuts back on opportunity. That said the bonnet opening cable is now broken, and I had to recharge my a/c b/c it was not cold, so the need to for sacrafice to the god of LR is rising.

It's like the truck knows we are moving, have a million other things going on, and still wants attention. So she will get attention, at the dealer. (Prob the starter, just a single click when I turn the key-battery is good, negative was tight...I don't care). Needed to go in anyway bc the bonnet unlatch cable is broken and i want them to fix the reoccurring P0441 CEL... good times burning up the CC.

Out with a playmate, showing no signs of distress from the move.
Two substantive reflections:
-Used an autologic to input the wheel diameter, width, & tire size into the truck's configuration. Mileage on the way back from WV was 15 MPG, nearing 16 when I slowed down from 77. Could be a fluke, but shift points feel smoother than before when those values were 'undefined'
-Took advantage of Atlantic British's 4th of July free shipping and went ahead and ordered the HD rear coils. Those will get installed soon to make her a hybrid w/MD up front, HD in the back.

So with the autologic it was one of the fields you can configure, my buddy had found it tinkering around with his LR4 & then did it to his LR3. We decided to see what my CCF would have in it (undefined was what the field read) and thus updated it.
