Hey Summers does the pioneer come with the 3.5mm jack on the front? That's the one thing I wish the kenwood had.

There is a youtube video on this model as well and custom backgrounds. Here is a link from ebay for the unit:

Haha I'm glad I looked at this I just spent a hour trying to figure out how to get a pic on there. I ended up finding a jvc open box item I couldn't pass up I know it's not the best brand but it seems decent. I'll throw up some pics in a bit

Default The list

Alright I've accomplished a few things in the couple weeks I've had it. Got the level done, rims & tires, dvd player and exhaust. Here is my revised list of to dos. If anybody sees anything that they know where I can get a good deal please chime in. Thanks
1. Programmer( lost on which one to get)
2. Grille ( really like the saleen look but trying to find a knock off)
3. Harley type head lights
4. Fx4 stock flares ( if anybody has bought these where is the best place)
5. Undercoating ( cost of getting it done? Is it easy to do myself?)
6. Rocker rust preventative ( I've heard of ppl drilling holes and dumping stuff on the insides to prevent rust ... Any body done this?
7. Sliding rear window
I know there's a few more but I'll end it there for now fire any ideas you have at me. I appreciate all the suggestions and help so far so thanks to you guys who have commented!!!

Awesome! Decals look great, are you installing the lift tonight? I would be, even if it meant calling in sick in the morning lol

Oh man I've had this for almost a week and I'm waiting to get a FULL day to do it. It's killing me but I'm a hardwood floor installer so I can't have my truck down for more than a day. The only day I had off was Saturday and my girlfriend had bought Dixie chicks ( yes I know Dixie chicks) tickets like 8 months ago so I had to go. Especially considering she's let me do everything I've done to my truck in pretty much a month. Thanks for the compliment on the decals I didn't realize how much I'd like them until they were on!!

May I suggest paint to match the grille and flares. Then you have body color and chrome. Instead of body color, some black and chrome.

I got to say the lift looks great! Is it a little lower in the back?

Yeah I actually just got the paint in to do that I think ( 95% sure I want to) my paint was a special order I couldn't even get it at the dealer.. It is about a inch lower in the back they said it would settle and if not I have a add a leaf to throw on
