Rewired my speakers. Xjs and there crappy wiring. Also rerouted factory speaker wires from hatch to back doors. Wasn't bad.

Called the body shop. Called insurance. Preparing to have her taken in tommorow to get damage from a turkey strike fixed. Funny thing is, almost exactly a year ago I hit a deer. Insurance totalled it out that time:

completed my 97+ center console swap.
I went all out on this and mounted all 3 bolts on the E-brake, liquid nails on the seal underneath it, full 97+ E-brake cables to the axle. The hardest part was mounting the damn E-brake handle. Everything was downhill after that though. Swapping the cables and installing them took only like 20 minutes.
Moved the cb radio to a better location and thinking about adding my old side cup holder to the new console with a stronger custom mount
Pictures are too big to upload....go figure

Finally got the new RC 3.5" lift installed. Actually added 4.5" of lift to the Jeep. I guess the old springs must have been REALLY worn out. Now it has a new noise coming from the rear. Guessing its the u-joints in the rear drive shaft.

the old seals were pretty worn, these new ones have a much smaller hole, so they should do the trick.
i need a set of outer tube seals. those keep the water out fo sho.

i did a brake job the other day for a guy, just replaced shoes. one was touching, one wasn't. when i finished it all up, neither one was touching. but when i replaced everything (cylinders, springs, adjusters, cables, hardware... everything, they both touch and are nice and tight).
