So now I have an original sound bar from an XJ directly behind the front headrests, and one in the back factory location. Its nice not needing to crank my stereo to hear, since the speaker is almost right on top of my head

Today I adjusted my TV(kickdown) cable. Also got everything needed for trimming my rear wells tomorrow and folding them in. Had to borrow a grinder, mine is on a jobsite and also bought another jigsaw. Also drove to Target and bought some oil for the Altima Mobil super 5-30

Keep looking!! Get one and install in the factory rear spot, the get another and put it up front. I have 6.5'' Pioneers in the front sound bar, rear sound bar, and in the hatch, along with a 10'' sub in the rear cubby hole. All my speakers are out of the way, I can have all my doors off and still have music, and it sounds perfect (to me lol)

Started cutting the heads off of the bolts that hold the front fender flares on. Gave up once my hand was shaking so bad that I broke two cutting discs in a row (weak nerd arms can't hold a dremel up for too long lol).
Also removed the old mud flaps, wire brushed/cleaned/cleaned/primed/rubberized-painted the bottom side of the passenger rocker panel and pinch seam. Sprayed some of the rubberized stuff (type of undercoating that eventually hardens) along the frame rail too over some rust. Not too much so I can wire-wheel it off later when I go to fix it.
Found out in the process that the rocker must have been replaced some years ago: The pinch seam isn't really a seam, the other side is not attached and looks rusted to hell and seems to have remainders of an old rocker still attached to it... also confirmed that the floors definitely need to be replaced when I found a new hole growing lol

right now I have a magnet antenna so I've been moving it around some. I like it at the center back of the roof, but the cord is way to short... I need to buy another antenna with a longer cord or find some sort of extension- but I'm worried the signal will be weaker.

I would get a new antenna - the antenna that comes with the magnetic base antennas have a preset cable length. Added or shortening it will affect the SWR's unless you basically double the lenght that is already there... then you have to coil it without making a magnetic field with the coiled up wire.

finally got my title so i hopped on the bike and went to NJDMV with my 100 plus forms of ID just to get my cherokee plates switched and they didn't ask to see one of them, funny if i didn't hav'm they'd ask. well got back and checked the tire on the 93,slow leak, then cleaned it up and put it in front of the 95, looks sweet, think i may use them. then it's onto the motor clean up and get some air flow under the hood, we'll see, looks like not an original top rad hose,stock air box, saw something about a cowl intake gotta look into that.
