    Hi Glen,

    How hard was it to get the dash surround off to fit that UHF? I paid ARB quite abit of cash to mount my UHF and they left the main unit loose under the drivers seat. They may have poked the screws through the carpet but it's certainly not bolted down. I was going to try some velcro to secure it a bit better but hiding it behind the dash would be even better. I don't think my factory audio system uses that grille but will check that out before getting the tools out.

    Cheers,

    Dash removal is very easy, it's just a few screws and a little bit of jolting. My factory sound system didn't use that grille either, it was completely empty and begging for a purpose. The only challenge is the mounting method. It just so happened that I had some thin steel lying around, which was quickly turned into mounting brackets, after a drill, bend and snip.

    PS: ARB have some great accessories (bars, roof racks, etc) but don't count on them for everything. Some upgrades are better done elsewhere or even yourself.

      Which was more painful, your front diff turning itself into swarf or being dragged out by the GU?

        Definitely the diff
        I've lost count of the number of times I've snatched the GU out, so Im' still ahead.

                        i just went through the same pain !!

                        it's surprising how far you have to lift your car to get that y pipe in hey lol i also had to grind some off of the front of the rh header, weird.

                        makes a difference on the highway thats for sure !
