Attention all aftermarket radio folks who use a Metra product!

Don't forget to tap the green white OEM wire for your illumination/dimming function. Figured it out and it is all good now.

Wheels n tires came in today.
Also Aisin Timing belt/WP kit.
And my cheapy upper control arms.

Not too much excitement. Received my Escape Gear seat covers and a second pair of Maxtrax this week.

How would you describe the difference in the ride?

Less magic carpet, more truck like. I’ve yet to reassemble my interior (drawer setup, etc), and hang a bumper on the rear, mount my Coastal sliders, and so forth, so I’m sure it will change.

New suspension installed! 308,000 miles on my 2000 TLC, and I had changed out the back shocks once. The fronts were original.
New OME coils and Torsion bars, with new OEM shocks all around. The folks at Cruiser Outfitters set me up with a great package.
Can’t wait to take it out on some dirt!

Those look good, whats the specs on the wheels? Any pics on the rig?

@J1000 just in case you hadn't seen it, @BenCC is making an overhead mount for these now.

Your going to like that new radio. With the WireX you can literally sit in your driveway and talk to guys on the other side of the world.

I installed my new Dissent 'high clearance' front bumper. Easiest bumper install I have ever done. I still need to tweak it to get it 'spot on' from a level perspective, but I am very pleased. The powder coat guy helped me pick the color. My long term plans are to powder coat the sliders and wheels to match.

Thank you. $215 a wheel. Here is a thread on the F5.

5x150 SCS F5 Wheels 16x8

I was super happy to see that @SCSPerformance made these in 5x150 as the market was lacking in wheels options I liked for 100s. I could only find a few pictures on the forum, so I thought I'd add these if that would help anyone. I wanted to stay with 16s or 17s for bigger sidewall, so it came...

Wheels installed.

Picked up a used Thule box on FB marketplace. Much needed upgrade from my roof bag.

photos of the projectors... sorry they are not the best nor do they do justice to the light. the first photos are still warming up and appear blue/green. the bulb is 4300k and very normal white and clear. I was quick with the photos and didn't do a hi-beam shot.. but the bixenons open as well as the top projector activating. light output is great.

Okay, gotta dumb it down for me. The stock wire is green and white, what does it need to be tapped into on the Metra product?

Drove it up to the Adirondacks to paddle 8 miles or so with my best bud @kasassy

If I remember correctly, the last Metra adapter that I installed in my son's 2000 LC, did not have an "illumination" wire in it, based on this possibly faulty memory, I'm reading this as "tapping" the factory "illumination" wire and running it directly to the aftermarket head unit's "illumination" lead (not tapped into anything on the Metra adapter).

Took the whole family camping--first time for all of the kids together--for the Independence Day weekend. State Park campground, nothing rustic, and fun on the river.

This pic is making me think I need some new rear springs!
