Fitting is pretty easy, but I still have the buzzing sound.
It only stops when I mute the radio.  ;D
I wired up the Park wire (to earth) and the illumination. Now I can find the buttons in the dark.
Yesterday I tested the navigation system and it works great. It goes automatically from day to night setting.
When inserting a USB with pictures, it showed the slideshow.
DVD is now working as well.

But that annoying bass sound.

It has taken a long time, but finally there is an addition to the car.
Some extra protection. Custom made for the car due to the hydraulics.

Expensive? Are you happy with them, I need some for the 80 as the factory side steps are like bananas and hanging off.

Yours look nice and neat.

Well under $1000 installed.
I haven't tested them yet, byt the installer had both wheel off the ground when using the high lift jack.

Looks good. If my side steps ever get damaged I'll do something similar.

Last Sunday we went on a day trip and put the car to the test again.
No issues, only cleaning the next day......

Wow, only a year later and a new addition to the car.
It's now looking more and more like a 4WD. :-)
