Connected an Ipod cable that charges and plays my music through the stereo (some crap aftermarket head unit that came with the car)

Only problem is I must have moved a cable or done something because my airbag light is flashing on the dash! will have to pull it apart and see whats going on! I have no idea what wires it would be though!

Just wired up my new JVC DV5500 DVD head unit. Wired it up to the Asuka TV tuner I have. It does some cool things like control USB/iPods and video output of contents and CD details.

DVD video out which goes via the Asuka TV tuner to the Navi screen.

CD details when played via the HU.

I also worked out the piouts from the Xanavi unit so I could still use the unit as a CD player if I wanted. This is the adaptor I made up to suit the line in to the HU from the Xanavi. I just need t ofigure out if the HU has a AV in trigger. If it does I'll be able to wire up the Xanavi to turn the HU on when you power it up to play a CD.

and this is what you get, just like the stock headunit.

I fitted Jetwrecked's old AR-X springs to give me some more lift :) I also played around with taking some photos, most of them didnt turn out as I'd quite like, so I'll have another go at it soon (I was taking the photos for photographic experience rather than for the purpose of highlighting my new ride height, I'll be sure to take some of those soon too!)

Cheers :) it was a 30 second exposure (to get the city lights) @ f11, lens was my tokina 11-66 (shot at 11mm) - fired off a handful of speedlite flashes also :)

The height is awesome, I can now actually enter and exit my driveway without causing damage to my kit :) I haven't got a side shot yet, but I'll get one for you soon :(

http://www.nengun.com/unknown/ken-style-st...-aero-kit-21157 - dunno what the shipping will be like, and its sustained some damage, but if you're wanting to do some repairs on it well then its an option :)

you removed the glove box didnt you.

gotta get me a shorter lens, and a half decent tripod, and a decent flash and many more things

have you tried any rolling shots? if you can hold something around 1/200 or even 1/100 shutter speed steady then they look awesome

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
