My water pump has been going out, leaking and making horrible noise. So, replace it.

5 hours, $60, a gallon of fresh coolant (3 gallons of old) on the floor, a bad gasket and silicone later, I have a pump that can leak a gallon of coolant within an hour.
Now I have no way to drive to Laramie to see the gf tomorrow.

410 gears with 33s make it run like u have stock size tires and stock gears so u still get good mpg and good power

Got some work done on the crappy sound bar I found. Got it sanded down and painted with a satin black. Looks a heck of alot better. If I can only think of what to do with this off center dome light hole in this thing? Any ideas? Now tomorrow to dremel out the 5.25 hole to 6.5 for the new alpine speakers I picked up from brandsmart for 54.oo bucks instead of the 99 bucks they had them listed for. lol.

Thinking of cutting out the rest of that little area and making a custom dome light with those flexible led strips and building a little box around the cut out with a plexi-glass cover?

Fabbed up a sick brass knuckle mirror for the drivers side. Now the cops won't pull me over for no mirrors.

Yeah it was made wrong. The mating surface on the pump that seals against the block is uneven.
