Got a new kenwood deck and 6 1/2 speakers for christmas and today I picked up and install kit and some pioneer 6x9s for the rear. Should be a big improvement over the 2 stock speakers that aren't blown..

Are you installing the 6x9s in the factory roof box thing? If so let my know how it goes.

There 30s running 35 psi and it only does it when I take off and turn at a from stop sign or 15mph or below sharp turns. I coast into gas out. My truck doesn't do this with the bald tires it has.

Def air down a lil but something that makes a difference is how much has in your tank, as wierd as it sounds

well.. it snowed today and its been a year since snow has covered the streets. so me and my friends got excited and our trucks decided to go snow drifting. i ended up ****ing up my radiator, smoke poured out the side of the radiator, overheated the XJ and got towed home 5 miles at 25-30 mph behind my friends dodge. great night ey? im ****ing bummed. also not smart because one of my leafs were shot and theres been a hole in my frame from rot right where the bumpstop is (the weak spring let the axle punch the bump stop through the frame when i hit a pothole in the fall) and i ran over a hidden curb in a parking lot at 15mph. now im worried that i possibly ****ed up my frame more and anything else. i just got rear frame stiffeners in the mail nd ive had springs and shocks so thats all being put in this week hopefully while the radiotor is being fixed/replaced.
