Great, thanks. I just looked at the manual for how to get the radio out. Holy Crizap it looks like I have to take the whole dash assembly out!!!!!

Not the whole dash , just the trim piece oround the gauges and the trim piece around the stereo. As far as the dome light you do not need a penny or need to close the door to turn it off. All you need to do is push it and it will turn off. shawn

Great, thanks. Are there any nice websites that have a "step-by-step" for removing the radio? Or is the manual the best source for this?

Thanks - Bart

PHAT! I just opened the manual for my head unit. I looks like all I need is an additional $40 wire adapter and my head unit will control the CD changer! This is a better option than the pocket because now I won't need to pull the factory CD changer, which does look proper where it is....

As far as tires go, I think everyone here will overwhelmingly recommend the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

A/T look and grip while maintaining the on-road manners that we love in the VX.

I dunno, I kinda like my Yokohama AVS/T's pretty well for the street look. For an offroad look though Maugan nailed it.

as for the cd changer, it has a known track record for breaking....so you may want to consider how much you spend on keeping it.

Yeah, I've been pondering it, and what I think I am going to do is keep 2 sets of rims, my stock rims and a set of rock crawlers. I will put some beefy ATs on the rock crawlers and wear those in the winter and when I go camping, and put some nice street tires on the stock rims and use those in the summer for back and forth to work.

As for the CD changer, I'm just going to hook it up to my JVC head unit with that $40 part from Crutchfield and call it a day. I probably won't ever use the CD changer, but this way I won't have to pull it, keeping the dash as stock as possible (I think it looks nice down there). If I put a cubby in, its only going to tempt me to put stuff in it, and I don't want my VX getting all cluttered with junk like my old Xterra was

This weekend I am going to change out the fog lamps and the dome light. My serpentine belt needs to be swapped too, its pretty cracked up.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions everyone.
