Sent you a response on PM, bypassing the stock amp is simple, there's a bypass harness pre-wired from the factory, you just need one of those Metra wiring harnesses to go between the head unit and bypass harness.Man I’m having a hell of a time trying to get a rear welded together, no shop wants to take it on. Ken over at expedition shot it real straight with me that they are going to charge me an ungodly amount and I should find one already assembled for them to slap on, he seems like a really good guy and if it comes down to it I will go with them. I’m going to call a place in Brighton tomorrow that the line X shop recommended as he wanted nothing to do with it, I also asked NWTI if they would consider selling me an assembled one. I’m having it shipped to a commercial address with a forklift so hopefully that helps somewhat.
The sliders don’t appear to be an issue, lots of shops work with trail gear apparently.
Either way first thing I need to do is paint or wrap, so I need to the body shop plug the old holes from the flares, drill new holes then paint then put the new flares on. So it’s not like the rear and sliders is something I need to be done right now but I would like to have my ducks in a row and have the parts ready to rock so it’s done sooner rather than later.
Also had a shop turn down a speaker install today saying something about the stock amp making it complicated, that was interesting. Going to try another shop tomorrow…
Then there is the matter of retrofitting some new front seats
What a mess, sometimes I wish I lived in the southwest I bet there are a dozen shops or guys within a stones throw which would love to knock all that stuff out for an LC.
What I would really like to do is pay a mud member to do it all so my money goes to them instead but doesn’t look like that’s going to happen….
A good shop will know the factory amp is junk and can be bypassed, keep looking around. I bought my head unit and wiring harness from this guy in Ypsi, he seemed like he knew his stuff and of course does installs: mrtunes-annarbor - Google Search - https://g.page/mrtunes-annarbor?share
