Picked these up for $150 at a yard sale today. What a deal.
Picked up a amp install wiring kit on the way home and installed it in the Grand. WOW it rattles a lot more now. I didn't install the crossover or the tweeters.

not what i did yet,but got for redmuck. a couple of hood vents off some foreign car,they were on the edge of the hood next to the windshield,i guess to suck in fresh air for the inside. no pics yet,but im thinking of laying them longways side to side, in the back and middle of the hood,they are curved and kinda look like wings that way. oh and another prebent vacuum hose for brake booster,it felt more solid then the one on redmuck.

spring compressors are evil and dangerous. I would much rather drop the whole axle down enough to slide the lift springs in. Both times I've taken the front suspension apart thats what I've done(first time for the lift, 2nd to swap fronts) Plus you save about an hour of work not having to deal with the spring compressors.
For example: I did an entire front axle swap, from start to finish in about 5 hours, by myself in my driveway.

I also did an entire swap in my driveway by myself, took 8 hrs.

Worked on the Crank Sensor. PITA! Could not get enough room for leverage (until I disconnected the front driveshaft). Bolts are still tight and it was getting dark so I PB blasted the bolts in fear of breakage and decided to work on it later.
Just when things couldn't get any more annoying. The jack slipped when I was letting it down an F
'n bent my oil pan!!

. must have bent the pan in a way so the pickup can't get oil . FML. Guess the work never ends. Next project. New oil pan, pickup screen, and guess I will do the rear main while I am at it

Finally drove my jeep since putting on crager V-5's with 31" BF Goodrich M/T's, and bushwacker cut out flares.
New tires make a world of difference off road.
Post pics later.

Him: "How does that do in the snow?" <points at my Jeep>
Me: "It does fine."
Him: "My brother in law has one. It's terrible in the snow. Worst car he's ever had."
Me: "What kind of tires does he have?"
Him: "I don't know. It can't make that much difference."
Me:
You just can't fix that kind of stupid.
