Ever had the radio out? There a a few plugs. I'm not sure exactly which adapters you'd need because when I was looking at new radios the shop knew exactly which ones I needed. And they didn't know of any 2 in 1 or anything. Just the 2 PAC adapters. I think they're $130 total. I would be tempted to redo the whole system and just ditch the Bose amp.

I don't understand why they won't let me add both to the cart then? On top of that I'm wondering how all this crap plugs in. Seems like there wouldn't be enough connections? Idk?

Ok it looks like this one should do everything for you. Should be all you need.

When I looked at it a couple years ago I think all there was is the steering wheel adapter + OS4. Was $230 for both units. Since this one is supposed to do it all and is $180 I'd be happy.

Took the truck out for gas. A station here has been running a promotion giving $.10/off per gallon. Filled up for $3.01 earlier. I'll take it. Also got 16.1mpg on the last tank.

That's what I was wondering when I was comparing the two. To me the way they had it, it was confusing. The nice part about it too is that adapter is only $100 when I buy it, and the stereo at the same time.

What HU are you getting?

What HU are you getting?

Right now I'm leaning toward this one

So, my vehicle curse has moved to other expensive hobbies, like my quad. Getting a driveline type vibration around 50+. Bike has 21 hours on it. Gonna check the u joints and cv shafts. Also gonna perform the "10 hour" service on it finally. Change oil/filter, front and rear diff fluids.

Gonna keep an eye on the differential fluids and check to see if any metal chunks come out. These new bikes have had multiple issues with the differentials grenading. I don't see why BRP didnt stick a beefed up differential into a machine with 1000cc and 82 hp. It uses the same diff as the 500cc outlander. Bad call on their end.

Luckily the outlander xmr (mud edition quad) has the beefed up differential so I may be forking out the coin for that

Hmm that's crazy it already has a vibration.. I'd take it back to the dealer with that low of usage

Yamaha. Enough said. [emoji6]

Had the Wife's Cruze at the dealer this morning to have the Intake Manifold replaced because of a bad check valve. Told them weeks ago the car has a surging problem, but they could not duplicate it. Funny it did it to me multiple times on the drive home. I hope everyone else's Cruze works good for them because this one is a piece of junk.

Grizzly was my 3rd choice Daryl lol. Should have just stuck with something reliable, but I got this and it's fun as hell!!

I would really like to have a rzr for bombing around on the crappy dirt roads and taking to the ORV park. As long as the bed is big enough for my tackle box!
