installed boston accoustic fronts...and now my driverside window wont go down. I get to look oh so cool opening my door to scan my badge at the parkin garage. yea...and somewhere i have a loose connection, because they arent getting a clear signal to them. Popped a cd in this morning and my very nice alpine decided to give me the finger... 'ERROR' flashes across the screen. Lovely.

Changed out rear CCV parts and ripped the rubber tubing that goes on the CCV to the little plastic tube. Off to the Stealership to get parts....good news...it's only $10 for everything I need!

Really good news! Nothing broke or fell into the valve cover when I change out the parts!

Since you guys like drinking storys, here goes mine. Had my jeep out by our party at a bonfire. My bro drinks to much, goes and sits in my front seat to relax. I come back later, hes gone. I look thro the rear liftgate, hes sleeping curled up back there next to my subs, i dunno how he even fit in that small of an area. Turns out he broke off the 2 rca cables going in the amp, so i have no subs right now >.<

aaand broke the double cardan for sure on the front driveshaft.


picking up new rear driveshaft tomorrow...they're retubing and rebuilding mine. it's a double cardan, 2.5" diameter with slip and 1330 joints, .138 wall tube. he's putting a new slip on it to gain me another 1/2" of slip. get the old one back tho...so I'll use it up front when I have a thicker front shaft built.

Found a hole in the floor where the spare bracket sit. Only about the size of a loonie though. I'll fix it later.

Cracked windshield on way to work. Stone hit in upper corner of drivers side. $250 to replace it. I think I'll wait.
