When I can I'll take pics. For this week I won't. It just decided to go below freezing this week, so I'll be working on stuff indoors.

One good shot will be of the Kenwood startup screen. I replaced it with the Land Rover Logo. Thumb drive connector and PC usb connectors are installed in the top of the coin tray. The Kenwood also lets you set the backlight color of the buttons, so it currently matches the green instrument lights.

Quick question, I know I need to buy 4 tie rods, just not sure of how many left and right. I saw it here once but can't remember. Help, thanks.
Stock steering is 3 Right Hand Thread/1 Left Hand Thread IIRC. Aftermarket stuff is usually 2 of each.

Go INSIDE your truck and take some pics.
Sounds like a cool set up for sure.

I would, but with the seats out and all of the crap I'm working on, it's a pain. It's also dark outside when I leave for work and dark when I get home. Photos won't look very good. It also keeps me from working on it during the week. Come this weekend things will be better.

I'm adding automatic lighting control,and a viper 350 alarm to replace most (eventually all) of the functions of Theft Alarm Unit. I've got an IR remote on the sterring wheel along with an IR repeater mounted on the dash that picks up the signal and brings it over to the Kenwood without having to worry about sunshine or the angle of the wheel, things that have affected other installations I've done.

Don't worry, you'll get photos.

Installed my eagerly awaited terrafirma springs and shocks. Gained an a enrage of 2.75 all the way around. My stock springs were very saggy. The ride is incredible compared to what I am used to. Now time to save for tie rods, ball joints and all bushings lol. This never ends.
