Installed kicker 5.25 speakers in the rear and 6.5's in the doors. They sound incredible for $110 setup.

I also tried to take apart and clean my drivers side window switch to fix the child lock switch that has been sticking and allowing the other doors to only roll down their own windows intermittently. While I had it apart I found a some other damage so I decided to just bite the bullet and order a new one from eBay. Hopefully the Dorman part will fix it.

Got me another jeep! It's not a Cherokee but it was in my price range. 6 months in a honda and I was dying for another. So far today I've:
New thermostat housing, thermo and gasket, cts, (waiting on it to set up now), hanging rear view mirror, new gas cap and new serp belt. Last weekend was a valve cover gasket and throttle body cleaning and gasket. Did some exhaust work yesterday.

If you can't see out the rearview, try flipping the mirror upside down. Welcome to the YJ fam
