One of the lines from evap solenoid was resting against the firewall and ticking away clear as could be in the cab. It never changed tone or speed. My forearm rested against it while I had the stethoscope out trying to locate the tick. It just needed to be moved a hair and I haven't heard it since.

Report back about the sound quality/improvement after you hook the amp up.

Put my RC heavy duty steering stabilizer in, drove to school, learned that Wolfgang Bernhard from Mercedes-Benz came over to Chrysler in 2000 and helped kill the Xj off production. F*** that guy!

Zip tied a loose brake line in the rear in an attempt to shut down a rattle I'm hearing over bumps. Didn't work, I'm starting to get pretty annoyed. Sounds like something tapping sheet metal, but I can't find anything loose!

Suspect the swaybar bushings,tailpipe, and exhaust routing through crossmember (transmission support).

Played in the snow today since the roads where completely covered. Kinda bummed I found a coolant leak under the drivers side radiator section. Hopefully it's something simple.

Did a little adjusting on the passenger door today to get rid of a little wind noise, after a long day yesterday replacing the A Pillar and windshield. First time taking on that level of work and its definitely not showroom quality work but its strong and functional and kept the Ol Girl out of the scrap yard!

I've got the Neon injectors in mine and they're pretty quiet as far as I can tell. Either that, or the engine nose drowns them out....As far as the speakers and amp, I can only hood the fronts up for now until I get a dedicated mono amp for the sub and be able to wire the rears into the current one as well. Just adding the sub changes the sound quality so much!

Drove to advance auto to pick up a box of parts that I ordered online for the WJ.

I am really impressed with the rampage headlights. It really throw the light beam far away when on highs.

My back passenger door keeps sticking and I'm trying everything to get it to open easier. Does anyone have suggestions?
