I've got no experience with Nolathane so I can't comment. They do have a good reputation from what I can see, but so do Toyota's, and they have issues.

I've used SuperPro a lot over the last 20 or so years and they've all been good in my experience.

The rubber oval bushes cause all sorts of problems as they age, the Superpro is a lot more "solid" by design and is less likely to create problems from what I've seen. They're also pretty easy to fit once you burn the old rubber bush out.

The road feel is a lot more positive, as soon as I backed out of my driveway I noticed a huge difference.

I've got IRO adjustable arms up from with the smaller round bush at both ends and they've been very good at keeping everything where it needs to be.

HTH,

Jason

Visited my local junk yard and noticed dead KJ with interesting stereo.

$40 later I got myself cool upgrade to GPS system. it even came with manual and software disk.

Now im my jeep. Even plays ipad MP3s conencted via changer port.

The mapping software is hopelessly outdated. GPS systems have gone long way over the last 20 years, but still looks pretty, plays good quality music and can point you towards the saved point in off road situation.

How did this wire up to the steering buttons and factory amp?
I've wired plenty of stereos over the years, but don't wanna wreck the stock controls

I'd expect it would be a plug and play operation and everything would work as it would be compatible.
