picked up a new head unit. the one in the jeep has to go. I cant decide on which one I want to use. I have this one, which has a sweet 3" lcd screen, USB ports, works with my phone and plays every type of media I can think of.
but I also have a nice JVC one that is a little older, but has much better sound output. but no usb, mem card, lcd, and only an analog input.
im torn between form and function
heres the new one.

see thats what I think. I could easily mount one in the rear and in the grill. My only issue is finding where to mount one as the "spotter" I might make it with 'quick discos' so I can pull it off in the mud and the street.
Yea this is what Ive decided on. the thing is once I get it mounted the new one might sound just fine, and I wont even need anymore than that. its also not that hard to switch out if I change my mind.

I havent mounted it yet...the dash would be the safest, but I think the center console will be worse then under the hood. If the jeep stalls, or even slows down while fording, the interior can easily get soaked. I have only had this one in the mud+water just a few times and ive had it up to the seats in water.

well I decided I was tired of not getting work done on the jeep,so I just had to get something accomplished. I decided to start on the front end.
I decided to continue my black out theme, while trying to balance form and function.
first I masked out the light area to keep the function of the lights.
