hey hows those led headlight bulbs holding up? thanks!
Headlights have been great, zero issues. Only one person has flashed me to date. Both my rear side marker bulbs have failed though. So not everything from Boslla is perfect.

That’s great to hear ..cuz I pretty much ordered them up 20 minutes after I posted last night. I had the itch 😂

Ever since I swapped in a different drivers seat I’ve had a really hard time hearing my HAM radio that is mounted below it. Today I installed an auxiliary speaker. Hoping this holds with some simple two sided tape. $35 Icom SP-35 speaker off Amazon. Speaker sounds fine and I don’t have to run the volume on max like I always have in the past.

I've been using the driver side lower dash mounted speaker for my Yaesu 7800 for years. I think it is a 2 ohm speaker so it is plenty loud when it needs to be.

I’ve been considering that for a while but figured after nearly 30 years that speaker is rotten. If this tape does not hold I’ll probably pull the lower dash speaker and mount this behind its grill.

I run that Icom speaker as well, mine is mounted to a piece of flat strap aluminum running across the front of the driver's seat mounts facing up. Works well for me.

I’ve had a new Kenwood head unit sitting in the garage for years. Got it half off as it was a previous year model. Wireless CarPlay being the motivator. I’ve also got an integrated dash cam that I’m saving for another day. Need to prep for some additional changes when I do that install. The old stereo had the NAV unit inside the center console and the Bluetooth module under my center console. Was able to reuse the mic and GPS antenna from the old Kenwood. Couple of photos. Mods like this aren’t very exciting.
