got some speakers installed

I was going grab me some of those. They sounded very good at best buys.

What are the model # for the Alpines? I went to Best Buys on Black Friday and the one in Lafayette IN doesn't carry 4 inch speakers of any brand, I want to know how they sound after you got them installed, better than stock? let my know :} Thanks

got mine online, not sure if it was cheaper than bestbuy tho

i havent drove around with them yet. also my stock speakers where not blown so its hard to say right now. they seem to be a little louded and cleaner than stock. btw im still running stock head unit and rear speakers

i got mine here

Nice Alpines!

I got some Blaupunkt 4"rs, few years back, LOVE EM much more than the stock crap that was in there. It's funny..... around the same years, the stock Cressida's had GREAT decks! Made by Alpine, I believe, and with 2- 5x7's in the rear, maybe 4 other speakers in there, they sounded REALLY good, especially having a 10way EQ, stock.

Still haven't put my deck in, ....grrrrrrrrr! lol. Can't wait to have the BT and Voice Command thingymadoer all set up, but mostly, I just want to be able to plug stuff in to the USB and Small Port! lol. Now I'll have movies while camping with GOOD SOUNDS, through the speakers, too!

Buddy of mine put in a 32" Mobile LCD in his Long Bed 4x4, in the rear..... All kinds of sounds, etc. It was a TV for a Boat/Yacht...... When you pressed a remote, it dropped down from the ceiling. He romped on that thing and it never screwed the TV up, lol... he must have better luck than myself with electronix! lol.

Sorry, ....'TANGENT/OFF', lol.

yup, im still looking for a head unit. i kinda want to get a touch screen so its double din and takes up the entire space as the stock unit did. issue with that is, the depth isnt that much from what i have heard so i have to be careful with what i go with. i dont need any cd player, just a media player, everything has gone to USB/Flash Drives now
you friends set up sounds awesome but a little too much for me haha
so lets end the year of with this. guess my friends got better things to do than come help me install it haha

Oh that ARB bumper and winch look awesome, beautiful!!!!

I've had a multi media stereo KD-R900 JVC for almost 3 years and it had the dual USB input, It's my 4th JVC stereo and never have had one problem with them and my daughter in her Prizm has a JVC 36 and has CD and USB input and I have had the same CD in it for almost a year, it's a MP-3 comedy I burned along time ago. When I feel down I switch it to CD and laugh, Look into getting a JVC there great systems and reliable too :}

Gorgeous, Toyo!

Double Din, eh? Yeah, I almost bit the bullet on that and decided to just plug in my tablet when it's needed..... Mainly cuz a long time stereo guy I know said he's having lots of people coming in with double dins having issues...... "More to go wrong", as he said, lol. I've seen the JVC units at Pep Boys, 279$ or so.... I Know, I know, ....there are betr places to find them, lol. Soundstream used to be good I guess.... now not so much. My buddy has a detailing biz and loves the infinity's, ... has 2 of them, one 2dr one 4dr. Both of them have double din pioneers... He swears by them and says "Never can find a more easy to use unit with such clean sound/clarity/clean graphics." ..... Happy Hunting, bud!

thanks. the double din set ups i was looking at where more touch screen units. not the cassette/cd player stuff. im set on alpine as my other two rides are decked out with alpine

so happy new years to me!!!

ah the bumper is finally on, now go hit something

I KNOW. waiting for the zombies!!

WOO HOO BUMPER IS INSTALLED AND LOOKS AWESOME!!!! Time to go deer hunting with it, I go out of my way into the country and take the long way home :}

Looks great!

The moment I was waiting for. I'll trade you my TJM for your ARB Jk

haha i dont deer hunt tho..

thanks sliders are next after i redo another axle housing for the 4.88 elocker

haha TJM wont fit will it? ARB was the only plated bumper i found that would fit my 88

now i need to break in the winch. need to rewind the cable.

Dude, .... that thing is looking GREAT! BA!

thanks. matches really well imo


far those that remember or been following, my last axle housing mod failed due to spring perches where to wide

so heres round two!!! much easier and faster the second time



can kinda see the slight drilled areas. i used a largest bit that would fit in the hole to mark it. than im gonna use the correct size. iirc it was 17/64 drill bit


gonna take the motor to work and tear it apart, see if its really dead or just needs to be cleaned, if not i got another motor i can slap on it

the bumper looks great man as well as the rest of your rig good luck with the elocker install this go around.

it came off an fj80 was too wide so got to cut and weld

thanks. its coming along. need to get out but snow as been missing since the start of winter

ooo no thanks lol. i had a workout installing this arb
