Replaced the Gauge Cluster with a restored unit, and now everything except the water temp is working so I'll need to check out the sensors on that. I still love driving this beast!!

Ended up replacing the TECA (transmission electronic control assembly) as it was stuck in a limp mode for a few months. Let me tell ya, getting a shop that was able to properly diagnose that was a pain. While we were at it, we also replaced the alternator with a 3G upgrade. It took me three...

On a side note... If you can find a solution to deal with temporary placement of the antenna that keeps the wife happy - I can recommend you check out the VR-N7500 as a dual band solution. You don't have to mount anything in the car because your phone becomes the head unit / speaker / mic. You...

I have a Compactenna SCAN-III that I got to try on my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee because she was concerned about anything blocking her view and needed to be able to easily still get into / out of a parking garage and home garage without jumping out every time she wanted to park. We personally...

Got a bunch of LED lightbulbs to refresh the exterior lights of the beast. Only able to get the headlights installed as the whole house caught the crud, but wow what a night and day difference in light performance!

Still working through things on the truck, though my pace has greatly slowed down due to other life factors. I have the coolest thing now, a "smart" rearview mirror which not only works as a normal mirror but has given me a front a rear camera (with lines), hands free calling, navigation and...

There is also this combo, which gives you some options: Anytone AT-D578UV III Plus DMR Tri-band Amateur Mobile Radio, AM Aircraft Rx with GPS and Bluetooth | Powerwerx Anytone AT-D578UV III Pro DMR Dual-band Mobile Commercial Radio with GPS and Bluetooth | Powerwerx They pair with this...

Vero VR-N7500 Dual Band Mobile... It's $107 on Gigaparts right now if you sign up to get notified of stock. It's got a ton of control options, from the "HT" like VGC-87 wireless display mic, bluetooth PTT buttons / headsets, or use the android / iphone app.. It's also able to support APRS...

I think it would help us offer advice if you told us more about what your expectations from the radio are. Either mobile or hand held radios are great tools, but you want to make sure you get one that aligns with your plans. Second, you have to do some soul searching because more than likely...

Softopper is installed! Not thrilled with the bedrail alignment, as I feel it should align the top to the outer edge of the bedrail. Based on some photos and a YouTube I found, this seems normal though. Other than that, it went on in a couple hours with some help and it looks pretty sharp. I...

Been busy trying to get the body and hard top aligned, and all I can think is there must be a misalignment of the body or a tweak in the frame as it seems like no matter how it's placed, the rear window has issues going up. Also been replacing all the dash lights and troubleshooting the gauge...

I will mirror the other response that beat me to the thread. The Comet 2x4SR comes factory tuned, as will most commercially available antenna for vehicle mount will. Also as mentioned, what would seem like irrelevant shifts to the side by centimeters can often be a game changer, especially when...

You can fold over most antennas like the Comet 2x4SR, which reduces the profile down to maybe 4" for garages etc... You can also always unscrew for car washes. While not optimal, my wife's Grand Cherokee has her's mounted with a trunk mount towards the bottom of the tailgate. It's about a foot...

Two quick thoughts. My vote would be the Wouxon KG-1000g as it will operate like your HT so learning will be less to deal with. Additionally, you gain all of the extra bands to scan which might be handy. For example, if some of your party are Hams you can listen in on them with one receiver...

So, what if I just rhino / raptor lined the roof? Maybe the hood? I am going attached to the idea of an 'oreo' theme since my hard top is back, my soon-to-be softopper is black, wheels and bumpers black, and maybe aftermarket black lights. Probably have some kind of wolfy / mountain vinyl scene...

Dorman 746-147 Door Lock Actuator Ordered a set for the front doors to confirm they worked, then ordered the second set and got them in today. I ordered from Amazon as they were by far the cheapest, but O'Reilly's also carried them in stock at several local shops so not hard to find.

7.23.22 - Lock actuators replaced (again) and now all four doors work!

Gah, the two of ya gangin up on me hah! I appreciate ya both, that's why I'm here with my stream of thought :)

I ordered a black SofTopper last night for my Centurion. Very excited, I loved the SoftTopper I had on my 2015 Ram 1500.

From what I see, most folks are swapping 4bt crate motors in without issues.
