Got my sub installed in the useless cubby area, finally! Was trying to figure out how to fit my sub in the box for quite a while (too deep by like 1.5cm) before it finally dawned on me that the sub itself has a useless plastic bucket on the back of it. Took that off, and presto!

 

Nice I'm about to do mine. Pic?

 

Drove it to work :/

 

Took it on its longest trip with me so far, Wilmington to Fayetteville

 

Getting ready to put a motor and trans in a friends xj and then as a good measure he is giving me a 4.5 inch lift and factory tire carrier and some other stuff

 

Mine started screaming in the cold 2 wks ago and stopped when she warmed up. Last night sounded like the brushes were going finally. The grumbling noise was coming from the rear of te alt.

I'm going remote belt a lil Lata and start her up for a sec and worse case ill get a duralast, UGH, just too get me by for hopefully a year or at least til after the holidays.

And please don't flame me, I hate autozone products but they have the alt in stock right now

 

I wont, ive been through three autozone alts. But with a lifetime warranty idc.

 

Bought a 4.5" lift for my birthday

 

Came out of the car wash and out onto a main road, right as i was straightening out I got on the gas a little to early and fish tailed pretty bad. I was able to catch it but the person behind me was freaking out

 

knock on wood again, had an autozone reman starter for nearly 2 years now.
my friend's old truck went through 9 autozone alternators in 6 months

 

I replaced the alt today. Hardest part was getting the power clip out. The clip was seized on the plug. Hoping it lasts me :knockonwood:









Next is aux fan. It's making a horrid noise upon starting and power steering pump pulley was a lil tough to turn by hand. I still love my jeep though

 

Auto zone sent wrong brake pads...axle lockup solved!

 

so lesson learned right? Always make sure they are right before you put them on. Happens way more than you might think

 

Test-fitting the Bushwacker flat flares. Still need to do some trimming. But as I stepped back to take a look, I cringed. I'm REALLY going to have to get bigger tires to fill up that space! I was hoping to avoid that for awhile. I still can, but it's going to look kinda stupid until then!

So, after the flat flares go in (with the installation trimming), do you think I'll be fine with going up to 33's? Or maybe I should stick to 32's just to be sure. Because I don't think 31's are going to hack it now.

 

Picked up a new amp yesterday, nice having a working sub again.

Nothing today, but looking at exhaust stuff right now. I cut mine off from the cat back, but I don't like how it sounds, too quiet. Thinking about breaking rule #5 and sticking an STI resonator I've got laying around on it off an 11 Subaru STI and running it back out all the way.
