Installed a new radio today. Went with the Pioneer AVH-4100NEX, since its the only reasonably priced double din I can find with a detachable head unit. Intall took approx 30mins, nothing too fancy.

Hey dude, centre console, do I see a switch or two? Mine has what looks like a switch that doesn't move and the rest were blanks, wondering if they ever were anything from factory.

Super clean rig man, love it.
 
Looks fantastic! Makes me want to paint mine and get it all pretty! The rims look similar to mine. These are 'Delta' 15x8. I run 31x10.5's due to being a daily driver, and towing a boat a fair bit, but love the look of your 33's!

positive/negative feedbacks are welcome.....it is bloody awfull, the motor is not run in.
Ps..maybe a couple of pics under the skirt, (bonnet, hood)?;)
 
That's a great looking Cruiser. Are they fairly cheap, when buying locally?

No switches. Those are actually HDMI and USB cables from the radio. There were 2 empty holes on that center console slot when I got the truck that I had no clue what went in them, so I decided to run my cables through the holes with a retracting pulley inside to hold the cables. I also bought the plastic ring (Home Depot) that you can see to hold the cables outside the hole to make it look cleaner.

These actually came in with 285 All-Terrains with these rims when I got the truck. I was never going to make this a daily driving truck like yours since I have the smaller tin can Civic for that, so I decided to get the beefier 33s. I think we have the same rims, I've been trying to figure out what company these rims were made from.

Haven't cleaned the engine in a few months, so pardon the mess. But yes, engine is in tip top shape for an old lady. I'll try to upload a video with the engine starting and running.

Not entirely sure, since this is my first 60. I got this from a Japanese collector for $10,500 at 110,000km (68,000miles), so I don't think it was overly expensive for the mileage and condition it was in, but not fairly cheap either IMO. FYI I also had to pay for shipping from Japan as well.
 
Yep - they look the same. Mine have 15x8, DELTA, and WIA 22N cast into the outside of them. I think they are referred to as Hurricane's....
Why all of the cable coming I together on the rocker cover - I assume to earth everything - but why, and why there??

Seems like a hell of a deal to me!
 
Found these rear quarter emblems during my trip to the Philippines last week and wanted to experiment, thoughts?

Never was a big fan of the gold trims, but these surpringly added that classic, luxury-end, type of look on my HJ61. I'm surprised it meshed up well with the Army Green color way.

Added some extra ooomf into the stock sound system today. Just a single 10" sub and a modest 700w amp, nothing too over the top.
