Bet they want a big piece of change for that beauty.

Found a video that shows the MARS mod done to it.
Removal of R335 does it.

I drive a 99 Cherokee XJ and a 2001 Grand Cherokee, so you know my priorities, if I had the $ to buy this.

That's just crazy . . . priced themselves out of the market at that rate . . . won't see one of those at a flea market or hamfest any time soon . . .

I like those radios but I wish they put the screen buttons on the left side... it's like having a car with a steering wheel on the wrong side, but I kinda know why they did it like that.... slightly faster access from the knob....

A cocktail stir? Why? Go big or go home.

This one’s (Duga-3) is for lease.

The original power supply melted, so bring that Home Depot Genset!
