This weekend I had some time so I did a couple relatively major and minor things:
1. Changed Crankshaft Pulley due to excessive vibration.
Used the following tool to get the pulley off the vehicle,
Here is the pulley I installed, perfect fit,
2. Added new backup camera.
Here is the camera I installed, it looks really nice and the night vision is impressive:
The previous camera was running was terrible to the extent it was unusable at night due to a snowy picture and constant false positives with backup sensors,
3. New headlights.
I have been experimenting with various halogen headlights, and I finally found a set up that I like (ie, although I will probably give in and run LEDs one day),
Phillips diamond vision H7's are white and bright, although not as white as LEDs. They are the whitest of many bulbs I have tried, and they are not expensive.
4. LEDs, LEDs, and LEDs.
I know it is silly but I love LEDs. In the interior I installed multicolor LEDs. My daughter loves to change the colors. Also I found a pair of multicolor remote control LED bulbs for the Daytime Running Lights. I will probably change these since colored LEDs are illegal in my state,

Hopefully others will chime in on this thread. I know I am not the only one that loves working on my car!

The screen is mounted the back of my sun visor. It works well and looks good.
Plugging an AV line into our command screen is not possible without expensive modifications.
