Here's some Washington Love!

Nice rig and use of the JDM flavor! I'm also seconding the Work Rims!

I may have missed it in the thread, but did you bolt on the tire carrier with reinforcement backing in the pillar? I thought US 80's didn't have the right construction/bracket to support the weight? Please forgive my redundancy of the tire carrier question.

My son is happy

This is what he saw after sitting in his car seat

He saw Scooby doo

 

[busmup808]

I installed it myself. Cartoys wanted $250 to installed. Took me 1 hr to install. I wanted to run the Clarion vm700, but after doing all the work and money spent. It was cheaper and faster to install the Chameleon unit. Cost was $400. Not that bad. Priceless when i see my son watching his Scooby Doo.

That would be 3x the headache. Still trying to learn how to work this new phone

The way I understood it, was the compass had it's "bits" in the spot on the roof where the middle row light would be.

Hey thanks girraffe
Sorry about the cable, I couldn't find it in the pile of parts. If there's one thing that I want is your motor. Sometime soon, I hope.

The altimeter/compass is not working. I don't have the wires. Only the map light and sunroof switch works. I got it without the wires.

Oh, gotcha. Well you're not missing much. My compass has never worked!

I was going to buy the wires from Sheldon, but $$ & time to install the wires is a negative in my book. Plus I have the soft headliner, which would of been a nightmare putting back!
