Been busy tracking down my water leak lately but the grind never stops. Been using it to haul four wheelers and dirt bikes around pretty often lately.

i nearly cried finding out my kicker ds 6x9 3 ways wont work as direct replacement....gotta figure something out for that cause the plain chrysler speakers suck....and i washed it

Curious where you got them at? I have been looking into some through crutchfield with a guaranteed fit. I also had bought some 6x9s and I tried everything. I basically cut half the dang housing away for the speakers to fit. Still didn't fit and they sounded like hell

For the past year I've had a whining coming from my engine. I thought it was the A/C compressor all this time so I haven't messed with replacing it (Estimated $1000 dollars to fix a noise? No thanks!) Turned out to be the idler pulley, and for 60 bucks the noise is gone! My ears are at ease now that the most prominent noises are the radio and the exhaust

Needless to say I'm very glad I didn't spend that money to replace the compressor lol

I Raptor lined the pickup bed.

Way easier then I thought.

A suggestion for others in the future stick to the vinyl trim tape not paper based painters paint tape.

The vinyl tape left a much cleaner edge.

I used four bottles and I covered the bed in three coats.

Replaced my factory almost 16yr old radiator. The aftermarket one is a tad thicker which made reinstalling the flex a lite quite a pain in the ass

I finally got around to installing the Dorman kit I had purchased a month ago and replaced the lock cylinder.

Now you can’t take the key out unless the truck is off.

Finally installed the Bestop Trek Step thingy. I like it alot but If my bumper was newer, I would go ahead and install the extension kit that comes with it right away. It smacks against the bumper every time without that part installed but I am okay with that :)

Replaced the oil pressure sensor. Had to drive around for a week with my oil pressure gauge plummeting to zero every time I let off the throttle and my truck chiming at me lol that was fun
