To bad you couldn't take the MIC with you. I love my WT, congrats on the upgrade!

I purchased the BD on D-plan, so I received much more than I paid for it. The BD was a 2.3, the 2.7 is much smoother and linear with the power. The 12" screen is great, and the front suspension doesn't get as worked up over rough pavement.( I live in Vegas, but drove to Tucson AZ for the WT, so I had some good back to back seat time). The soft top was not much of an issue with noise, as my MIC top had wind noise from the front header and panels.

I see by the decal, you now have the HOSS 3.0 Fox setup! IF so, its great isn't it!!! . Enjoy the ride brother

If you still had the stock Hitachis on the BD, it’s not even a fair comparison. I bet those Foxes are great.

Congrats, the HOSS 3.0 has to be a huge difference of its own.

My MIC was noisy too, till I discovered it wasn’t latched all the way on multiple spots. From the factory! Uhh No noise now.

I've had the front two and mid panel off numerous times, I even tried a Torx bit to tighten the latches to no avail.

To the others, yes, the 3.0 is much better than the stock BD. I didn't touch the shocks, I had added the 33's and installed a 1.5" level spacer up front.

Fair enough. Mine is a recently loaded SAS BL. Just sharing what I experienced. Glad you are enjoying your upgrade.
