Took out the stethoscope and listened for the knock. Still cant get an exact location. So called a buddy, buying his old XJ which has a good engine. Gonna be swaping engines in a week or 2.

I went to play in the MUD last night... I got stuck in one of the puddles... lmao, so I got it in 4 wheel drive, got my *** out of there, I drove by a city owned ponds, and I guess they had one of those units that drain watter out of it, because it rains almost every day here, I drove over the big hoses... lol... I got a lil paranoid thinking, ****... I hope I didn't brake anything... and since my truck was covered in mud, I'm sure there's tracks on it. So I woke up this morning at 5am, and gave it a nice wash! (get rid of the evidence, lol... my jeep looked guilty as hell)... my god, mud everywhere... lol.... especially inside the wheel wells... but yeah, she's nice and clean... parked out back, with attitude...

We put in new Infinity Speakers on the front doors and WOW what a difference from the craptastic badly installed x-plodes.

Also replaced the hatch lift supports but only one fits right, the right side molding is wonky and pushes on the support causing it to pop off. Dangerous, let me tell ya! So we need to go back to pepboys and see if they have a different style or something or if they can cut away at the molding to allow clearance. Drama.

Later today I'm getting the trans mount replaced and the AC serviced. Good timing since it's muggy as devil ***** right now. Ugh.
