And a bonus pic of your rs3000 alarm indicator?

I'm working on replacing mine today. Just came in to look up a couple of the options because I'm trying to make it work as closely as I can to OEM, except better range. I don't really live somewhere that requires an alarm, but I love keyless entry and mine was becoming erratic.

Did you use the pigtail/ harness from the old rs3000 box to integrate your new one into the body harness? I think there was a thread on here that explains it.

I used that adapter that Lutz Auto makes, so it plugs into the connectors in place of the rs3000. It wasn't particularly difficult, and I think it'd be easy enough to graft the wiring together, but using the adapter was mostly a convenience thing. Used a cheapy Avitel alarm and it's mostly seamless and works like the original, though the beeps are a little longer than OEM. 0.8 seconds is the fast option, but it still feels s-l-o-w.

Did a few more small things, got the stock transfer case skid plate on, the splash guard? Above the steering dampener.

I also noticed two nuts completely backed off and a third was loose that bolt the turbo to the exhaust manifold. Tightened all those...

Then cruised around for bit.

I really need to start looking into new lift springs and shocks. The Iron man lean is killing me.

Ignore the coolant, I was checking it while warm and some bubbled out.
