received my 1" boomerang shackles in mail (yesterday). thanks stationwagon! also finally was able to pull my spark plugs, after hitting them w/ pb blaster for 2 weeks & using my floor jack handle as a breaker bar. but while pulling off one of the plug wires, i guess i didn't have a good enough grip on the connection & pulled the wire right out of the boot! got it back together with some redneck engineering. put anti-seize on the plug threads & dielectric grease on boots/plug heads. it runs fine, plugs looked alright, but it gives me a reason to get a new set of plugs/wires/cap/rotor.

Later,

Installed my new Alpine stereo equipped with bluetooth hands free calling and new speakers all around. (thinking about a small 8" sub for the back. Needs some more bass.

Had to fix the dead speaker in the drivers door. Just direct wired from the back of the harness and ran new wire through the dash and door.

Oh and got some new floor mats.

Next weekend I think I'm gonna take off all the bumper end caps and hit them with truck bed coating along with the door trim. Maybe even spray the plastic trim around the stereo with it too. Not sure yet though.

finally redid my tailpipe hanger with a real hanger,no more pipe strap. now im gonna cut the zipties on the front of tailpipe and put a new hanger on there too. and i trimmed my dash around the stereo so the face can flip farther down,so a cd will go in easier.

Well last Sunday I replaced my stationary wing windows and put in the opening wing windows and finished welding my patch work in on my floor. Today I started preping my cargo area for some herculiner.
