Default 2011 Rancho Quick Lift and a new stereo

Well I finally had some time to get some stuff done. I got some new BFG all terrains and decided to do a Rancho Quick Lift in the front and added a leaf on the rear with some new Rancho 9000's








Well I also installed a Kenwood DNN990hd with the Maestro RR to retain all of the SYNC features. I used the new Metra dash kit to match the 2011 bleached wood interior.(not an exact match but pretty darn close) Loving all of the features of the new stereo. The info screens are awesome with the OBD connections.





What do you think of the upgrades?

Very nice. What did you have to do to get all of the vehicle info piped into the new Kenwood? What rearview mirror do you have?

The info comes through the Maestro RR integration piece, all you have to do is run 2 wires to the OBD plug. And, the rearview mirror is the stock one that came with the 2011 Lariat.

All of the speakers are updated with Polk Audio and I added tweeters to the doors as well. Also have a sub under the back seat. It sounded ok with aftermarket speakers and OEM headunit. But now the Kenwood brought it to life, especially watching movies in the truck, sounds like a movie theater.
