KyleStoll Build Thread

Hello Everyone,
I just picked up a 2009 Honda Fit Sport that has 22,300 original miles on it. I plan to keep the car just about forever and build it into a camping and outdoor utility vehicle. Picked up a roof rack first, but this is just the beginning.

It's an auto and superb service history as it was owned by an older couple.

Just installed a new double din radio that has apple carplay. I got it from crutchfield and it was very straight forward to install. It is a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. I was able to route the cable under the side of the center counsole for an extremely clean install.

I also just installed an Ultragauge. I am still deciding on what gauges I want to display. The cabel runs perfectly in the door seal and underneath to the OBDII plug.

A Progress Technology rear sway bar was also installed while I was under messing with the springs.

The last thing in the rear of the car was a draw tite hitch that bolted right up. I also got rid of the Van's Honda sticker and replaced it with one of my own...

Up front, I went for the Tema4x4 front strut assembly spacers to level out the car. This is how I installed it with the top of the strut tower in between the top rubber part and the added spacer. I only had to enlarge the hole on the top rubber piece.
