for today, worked on it a little bit more after work again. needed to replace an upper shock mount bolt that I managed to sheer off yesterday. oops.. haha. figured as long as I was buying a new one I should replace all 4 just to be on the safe side.

next I had to deal with the muffler we cut off yesterday. it was pretty trashed (and was hanging up one of my ebrake cables) so it got chopped. today I walked across the street and bought a cheap little cherry bomb turbo muffler and a bunch of little bits to get it attached and mounted. unfortunately my buddy cut the pipe a little too close to the cat, so I didn't have enough room to install it. so naturally I just said ****it and cut the cat off, and put the muffler there. hahaha.. I just had my inspection done for tabs a couple months ago, so I'm not too worried about it. sounds angry now, and frees up a lot of space underneath for when I inevitably find stuff to shove up under there.

bit of bad news tho.. when we yarded the old muffler I discovered that she was hiding a rusted out hole in my floorboard. :mad: .. so now I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do about that. pretty frustrating, but **** happens I guess.

My question, is whats with those tires :P

uber 03-24-2014 02:00 AM

yeah, about that.. haha.. my alignment was all kinds of effed on that thing. as soon as this is done she's going to get one done. then it's straight to craigslist to find a couple replacements. rears are still pretty decent

Got my CB installed.... Almost!
Single 4' firestick for now. I have a 52" whip but need the threaded base.
Just need to get ground situated & crimp a spade on hot. Then wrap wires so they don't get kicked around & tie up under dash.
I always wire power to a ignition hot in fuse panel so radio only has power when key is on.

Tried to chase down the cable end for the roof mounted antenna... But had no luck. I did find a ton of aftermarket wiring & relays. That & the 10-12 holes in the dash & console pretty much has me convinced it is a retired police rig.
Also set up for a tow bar up front. Can't figure that one out.... And way low miles for any fleet vehicle. Only 173,000 wonder how many miles were in tow!
