I tried to figure out the wiring for the stupid sound system. The previous owner didn't invest the 15$ for a wiring harness and just cut and spliced and made it very confusing.

I also looked for tires/wheels to replace the ones I have. That's pretty much It.

I would have done more but I am broke till payday.

Finally R&R'd my neutral safety switch! I haven't had reverse lights for awhile and almost had a fender-bender the other night because they didn't see me backing up.

It really was easy! As they say, the hardest part is getting your hands into the tight spaces to clip the old zip ties. The actual R&R itself was the easiest part of the whole endeavor.

I replaced the 8.25 in my wifes 01 since I stole the original one from her for my 91. Had all 4 of the upper shock bolts snap so I had to modify those. Also had one of the bolts for the u-joint straps break so I drilled out all 4 holes and did the u-bolt upgrade.

checked the fluid in the rear diff. Tore off the piece of rusted metal that was hanging down, SUPPOSED to be part of my floor on the drivers side. You can see the bottom of the carpet from underneath...
