I got the Sony Xplode 6x9s put in the hatch. It took a bit of massaging with a cutting wheel but, they do fit and they are mounted solid and they sound great. So, I have the Sony Xplode CD deck, Sony Xplode 6.5s in the front doors and Sony Xplode 6x9s in the hatch. The whole system sounds AWESOME!!!! I love it!!! Never realized just how pathetic my old system was. The deck being black matches my interior perfectly and looks OEM.

I think I'm gonna put the rear Aussie Locker in tomorrow.

Not today, but this past weekend I put a couple of coats of primer onto the rocker/sliders that I'm getting ready to put on the wifey's '94 XJ! I should be cutting and welding sometime this week.

Got new kicks. Procomp 15x8 1079s and 32x11.5 BFG KM2s. The wheels are a little too shiny though, need to find a mud puddle!

finally redid my homemade window vent lock. stuck in a 1 and a half inch long 7/16 carrage bolt with a silicone gasket that i cut out of a silicone pot holder. i used one of those thinner nuts with a nylon washer and tighten it up, then found an old fridgerator handle bracket, it had a nice bend in it,but i bent it a little more. stuck it on and put a wingnut on and tightened it. it managed to pull the window tighter and hopefully stop the draft noise. itll be tested tuesday when i go to work. and put oil in since i was like 2 quarts low and fill my tires with air. one tire has a slow leak.

BlackSheep them re-ims look sharp!

I swapped out the wiper blades. That rubbing was about to drive me bonkers.

Heading out to the gargae in a few minutes to rip into the rear axle to install the Aussie I got for Christmas.
