The relays look the same. They had a version 1 which wasnt water proof, then everyone had their horns stop working bc itd blow. So they cane out with a version 2 and were replacing them for free. If hope all they sell is the version 2 relay now. Best bet is just call them to ensure.

I got it off eBay. It's a OEM Replica for a RhD car. Only 25 bucks

A little heavier than some aftermarket wheels of that size, but not too bad. Especially for a factory wheel.

I like the compromise. Slightly heavier than 17x7 rpf1 (15.15) but more durable. And it's a break even weight vs ge8 sport wheels and tires.

Finishing up my retrofit tonight. Just need to finish polishing the plastic lens. They were so yellow and cloudy.

Not huge into car stuff, so I was proud when I did this aftermarket stereo myself... with crutchfield's help.

It's the Pioneer AVH-4100NEX.

2014+ Durango R/T.

Seems like the sportiest thing with 3 rows i can find. They sound pretty awesome, especially with aftermarket exhaust. Love those Hemi motors.

Id prefer to privately sell my Fit. Especially since its all Mugen and the dealership wont care about that on trade value. But no luck selling it.

This morning I used my Fit as a truck...had to replace a toilet at our rental property.

When I got home I installed my Injen Short ram intake. Pretty straight forward. Sucks I had to remove the battery to get the OEM box out, had to redo all my stereo settings. Lame!

Toilet fit perfect in the trunk, didn't even have to put the seats down.



Only did a few errands, sounds good. feel the mid range a little better I think. Think its a little quieter at 80mph than my drop in K&N/OEM box was. But you definitely hear it when you get on it.

Awaiting my Tanabe Medallion Exhaust. =)





Need to get it detailed sometime in the next few weeks.

FamilyWagon, too bad you're on the "wrong" coast, I'm sure it'd sell over here in SoCal. Would totally trade you wheels/suspension too

Ah yea I just went through that same search. I like how the Durangos look, they have a lot of creature comforts in certain trims, I just couldn't come to terms with buying a Dodge. When I was a tech at a Honda dealership, they closed the sister dodge dealer that was next to us and we picked up their service for a short while and hated wrenching on them.

We decided to not get a 3rd row vehicle because everything else was too much or not anything we liked. Got a killer deal on a Forester XT and couldn't be happier for a family ride.
