Got a few things done

Finally got around to getting the essentials done.

Tint


Navigation-Pioneer AVIC D3X


Passport 8500 radar-hard wired to Aux#4 and custom rear view mirror mount


A camo key fob- saw it and just had to have it


And of course, I have to show my support for our Second Amendment


Im thinking about getting a leveling kit and some 35inch MT until I get the planned 4.5 lift and 37s
Next is the flush mount tool box and tan linex for bed and tool box

Nice additions. Window tint will probably be my next job. I currently have a toolbox, line-X, and a bull bar. How do you like your pioneer?

Why did you hardwire your radar detector?

Thanks,
I like the pioneer, but think I should have went ahead and spent the extra on the Z2 because putting the disc in is going to get old I can tell. I got a great deal on the D3X package which includes a remote, bluetooth module, and ipod cable so I got it.
I would get the Z2 if I could do it again. Other then the disc thing, I love it. Controls ipod quickly and looks great.

As for hardwiring my radar I really wanted to use one of those Aux swithches
and I like to turn it off when Im taking it easy around town and such. Cuts down on the false alarms.

Might want to think about a set of nice billets for the grill area. Saves damage to those expensive radiators from rock and big hard bugs.

Did your truck come with the sirius radio? If so, could you make the pioneer work with the trucks antenna?

Nice truck spatel23, How do you like the Navigation-Pioneer AVIC D3X? You think that would fit my 2005 Super Duty?
