Finished the wiring and install of my JVC kd-r820 head unit with Bluetooth and a microphone. Hands free calling works great, head unit looks great (very colourful) and sounds great too!

6.5" jbl's in the rear.
5.25" kickers in the front.

And I bought my bro's old 10" jbl sub woofer in a bassworxs box, and jbl amp.
Gonna have that professionally installed though.

Check it - looks clean, and I fed the mic through a tiny hole next to the steering wheel ( bottom left of pic)

My oil pressure was all the way above 80 and stayed there no matter what I was doing. So I just put in a new sending unit I got from the dealership (more like stealership)... Also I took this pic acouple days back..

So what did you do with that "marvels mystery oil" if I'm not mistaken. Is that like an additive, or just straight up oil you use, like full 6qts?

I need to do something about the ticking in mine, and I don't think it's a cracked manifold.

Substitute a quart of regular oil for a quart of MMO.
I just topped mine off cause its a little low anyway.

So I ordered my front mounted hitch on Friday. EBay updates me and says the hitch should be here between the 10th and the 17th. It arrived today! Took about an hour out of my day to complete the install. Though the instructions don't tell you to,its wise to remove the bumper...makes things a whole lot easier. Bumper is simple to r&r,very light. The hitch was helpful with stabilizing the bumper for reinstall.
