Finally done moving, not even close to unpacked. It's amazing how much longer a job takes when you have to dig through boxes to find the right tool. :lol:


New Tom Wood's propshaft installed (and all leaks fixed, again!):

Upgraded to a Trash-a-roo 2:

And got the WindowSOX installed so I can have bug-free sleep with the windows open (thanks to SP Jon M3 for the recommendation):

Ollie - my Trash-a-roo 1st gen is yours if you want it.

How do you like this radio? Assuming I pass the test in Borrego, that's the radio I've got my eye on.
