This is why you run a vin check guy wanted 10k for this 50k mile 05 I ran a carfax on the spot showed him and crawled under saw the damage and pointed it out, he knew it and was not gonna tell me, this made it a $5k rover

The 06 I ran a vin check it was fine no reported wrecks

If I did not have the 06 sitting here she could have drove it how it was I am just ocd on car stuff and want it to be right, sucks neither came with the hitch although the 05 bumper would have fell off lol

serviced transfer case fluid looked pretty clean, 1.5 qts royal purple synchromax

Got the park brake shoes replaced and adjusted, drivers side had no lining just the metal shoes and they were dragging on the drum, my buddies put it in service mode and all is adjusted

Think I have the nav fixed,, tried swap out the disc, then the nav computer, and finally the screen

Screen seemed to fix it, guess I will know in a few days if it's fixed

radio has now decided it wants to work lol

fridge install


ok this is easy to do


block wheels


put shifter in neutral, pull up and twist on shifter handle it pops off


there is a screw in front of the park brake lever, it can be Phillips or torx, remove it


flip open console lid, remove the rubber mat under the ashtray area


now grab and pull up the top of the console on the sides where the top and bottom halves meet it is hard to remove but will come off


you can now lift it high enough to get past the shifter stalk and rotate it clockwise 90* , the wiring is tight so be careful, I unplugged it all to get the cover off all the way


there are 3 plugs; park brake, shift lights, off road selector ( this one was hard to remove had to use a screwdriver to ease it out)


now there are 2 screws in the front one on each side at front of the glove box ( see pic)


next put both front seats forward, take a torx remove both console lid hinge bolts, and the hinge caps ( see pic)


now grab the cubby box and pull up hard it has clips on bottom


last locate the fridge plug, it will have a piece of foam wrapped around it, drop in the fridge and reverse procedure
