Up on the lift first thing this AM...
Getting some slight play on passenger side inner rod/kanuckle. Other side tight.
Will let it slide for a while and replace it next year...

Looks like some rusty areas need addressing...U-joints still ok.
I guess I scraped off whatever undercoating was along the bottom of rear diff.:icon_lol:

I only noticed it in photo, is this a ground strap? If so it's Rusting good.

Sounds like a buddy(deceased). Used to wax the valve covers on the 454 Mercruisers in his Gibson houseboat.

Undercarriage need some love get a mask and a rattle can take the ol jeep outside somewhere away from other cars and go crazy. Usually good to wait for a not so windy day as well. I did flat gloss hammered tried the rubberized under coating in a small spot. I like the gloss cleans easy and looks better longer.

put on a new front license plate. Matches my red and black theme, and happens to be the same as my compound bow.

Not a big day of doin' for me today. I did change my antenna - got a short billet one coated black.

Tomorrow I take it in for my first oil change. I got Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w-30 and Napa Gold oil and air filters. I got a Dimple Magnetic Drain Plug (and will add another to the ****** pan next month). And I received the Skid Row transfer case skid plate today, but not sure if I'll get that installed tomorrow.

Took about 3 hrs from the time I started cutting until temporarily wiring it up. Box isn't nearly as big as the picture makes it seem.

There wasn't nearly as much loss in output I expect by going from 3 10's to a single 12. It's almost just as loud, but the most noticeable thing was a huge improvement in sound quality. I'm pretty happy with it. Still have to add lug terminals, do a little sanding, and cover it.

Also working on a box almost 3 times as small that will use an external aero port made from 6" pvc. After paying what I did for 4ft of 6" pvc, I decided to do some practice runs with some 3" pvc I had laying around. This wasn't cut square, so it caused it flare lopsided

Started screwing around with my X4700BHS. People think it's factory when I'm rocking the Kj theme. I have a ton of Jeep themes that will work for most any pioneer and Kenwood screens if anybody wants them

... and since they're actually winning for a change, I had to make a Game Day mode. Makes me think of the many generous donations i made to the local drinking establishments while attending UGA.

Those are sweet backgrounds! I have a Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS; would those backgrounds work on that head unit?

I have a Jeep logo as the background now but I'm getting bored with it. If your offer stands I'll take you up on it :party52:

Nice work on the sub box - some nice low end thump, eh?
