I've been using rooted and custom ROM's B&N Nook Color in my TJ for the past 2 years, and I love it's functionality. Ever since I got the WK I can't get past everything it's lacking. Sure, I've added bluetooth to the factory stereo and can stream from my phone, but it's not the same as a true integration.

Some may wonder why I chose the Xyboard in particular. A few reasons really, but mostly because it's one of the smallest overall tablets that still has a 10" screen. Most anything else won't fit between the factory vents. I'll be retaining the OEM stereo, but setting it back further in the dash opening. The tablet will sit in front of it, and 'slot' in from the top. It may be hard to visualize, but I think you'll like what I have planned. :D
I'm looking at doing something similar, but I'll be using the galaxy note 3 (whenever it comes out). I'm going to inset my after market display and try to fab up a simple plug and play clip so that it is easy to get in and out. :)

Yea there is no empty cavities big enough to fit the wire through. Im using some pretty thick wire (16 gauge) but even much much smaller wire wouldn't fit through, the only empty cavity is just a very tiny hole.

I just pulled that whole plastic piece out with a flat head, disconnected the molex connectors. It looks like they should plug into eachother just fine without the damn oval plastic piece that was in the way. So I think im going to try and remove the oval piece re-connect the molex connectors and just shove them down in the hole.
Be sure to throw some heat shrink, or electrical tape (if your lazy) over those connectors to be sure they're not going to arc against eachother.

LONG way to ship them, probably cost more than the wheels!! :D

For you too! I replied to the PM. Happy to sell them to you, but like I mentioned, the shipping would be a killer. They are in excellent shape, just not my style. I am a HUGE fan of the Wrangler Moab's and picked up a set of near new ones, which I am STOKED on. Cant wait to sell these.

My floor mats have been such a great investment. Everytime I get in my WK, I am reminded how happy I am that I bought them when I see how much water is pooled up in them that would normally be soaking into my floor.

edit: BTW, I have the weathertech but the Quadratech ones look nice

whats the deal with the sway bar connectors? are they after market? or just replacement?

QUOTE=Wilbready;15096318]Got the new shocks and struts and sway bay connectors installed! What a freaking difference! And I thought it couldn't get better!
Oh, and I found out that my spare is not only full size, but on the same rim as the rest of them! What a nice upgrade![/QUOTE]

The service center ordered them from their warehousing distributor. I believe they are Mopar OEM. Monroe made the shocks and struts.

I think I'll just take mine out and cut them shorter.

Even if u cut them shorter it won't help. If you can't tighten them in then u would have to drill out the hole more. But as long as u are careful and use a towel u should be able to twist them without too much of a problem.

Ordered a new key for the misses, tired of her taking mine.
Also ordered inner fender well, figured might as well when we reinstall my bumper.

I started gathering components for my sub install.

Alpine Mrx-50
Alpine Raux Knob
DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Amp Kit

Also this may be the last thing I post since my woman is going to kill me.

Trading my badly matched BFG Mud Terrain tires on 17" rubicon wheels for a set of 32" Duratracs that go on an 18" rim. I'm thinking Sahara rims, plenty of results on the search, I'm excited.

I'm so stuck on wether to pick up and SL this summer or go the interior upgrade route and get set up with a new deck and sweet system. Either way is $$ but seeing as I do not wheel that often, I'm leaning towards the interior more, how do you like the alpine r's? I'm thinking a couple JL W3's?
