Installed my Zroadz rear LED light bars and completed the wiring! Very happy... HOWEVER, anyone that is thinking of disconnecting the battery - you might have problems with the camera system once its all connected back together. I encountered this problem. Search for "Surround Camera Unavailable" to find a thread on this issue.

Replaced the stock dash speakers with Infinity reference speakers. Easy install, took all of 15 mins. They sound so good I’m ordering the door speakers now.

I replaced the 3 dash with Reference 2 ways as you did, the sound quality for mids/his much improved. Then replaced the rear doors with reference 6x9 3 ways. Sound quality with mids/his got even better. Then after another month decided to change the front doors with reference 6x9 2 way components, using just the woofers. Even more improvement with tighter bass. Could have just gotten 2 ways for fronts as the tweeters would have just been unused, but the price diff was about 30 bucks so just got the components so the speakers are fully appropriate for the applications. I think the system now sounds awesome. On par, or better, than other high end factory systems I have heard. Total cost was about 400$ with harnesses and shipping. Got all speakers from Amazon and harnesses from Crutchfield.

I did my 1st oil change today at 2920 miles. Installed Fumoto SX106 drain valve and the MO-41 SRT filter with Rotela Gas Truck 5w20. Man, the filter location sure is a kick in the nuts! Really guys? I see a remote mount filter in my future!

The stock radio works perfect for my needs... I listen to conservative am conservative talk radio 95% of the time. :rolleyes:

I'm a musician (guitar) but very rarely listen to music these days... although I did scan through some of the SiriusXM rock stations while wheeling around in the dirt today...

20-30 years ago, I would have cared about the speakers more. But this system would have been awesome back them.

Dropped it off at the dealer because my 2020 Bighorn threw a “service electronic stability control” warning the second time I drove it, that won’t go away. Seriously. With 16 miles on it. Awesome start.

Also took another pass at the LED vanity and lower glove box lights on my Laramie. The first vanity lights I got (24 lumens 6000K) were too bright for my liking, so went to the 16 lumen option and twisted the cylinders to outside so that user has more indirect rather than direct light.

For the lower glove box I swapped from my initial 6000K 194 LED bulb to a 4000K "natural white" option because it blends better with the rest of the interior LED lighting, since it's warmer, especially the ambient lighting and upper glovebox.

Ordered my some 20x9 hostile fury wheels and 33x11.5 nitro ridge grapplers. Looking forward to getting them and throwing them on.
