I put a new radiator in her yesterday after the old one started leaking. Only took me 2 hours including the trip to Napa.







The Jeep on the right is my brothers 99 Grand Cherokee 4.7 Limited

 

Santa brought me a pair of cheap, 6x9 speakers for my 97 Ram. After some finagling, I managed to get the passenger door speaker installed (driver door speaker still works just fine, so I didn't bother replacing that one, yet).

If I had to do it again, I'd go with slim speakers (6.5" slims are much cheaper and easier to find than 6x9" slims) and an adapter plate because I had issues with the depth of normal 6x9 hitting my window (i ended up making a spacer from some scrap wood). The spacer gave me clearance for the window, but my door panel now fits real snug.

 

yesterday hit the u pull it and found a really nice under rail bed liner for $35
did a quick power wash to hold me until spring at which time I will pull it out and
really clean the HELL out of it

 

Well, yesterday actually.... but.... truck was running crappy, so, picked up plugs, cap, and rotor. Old plugs really didn't look that bad, just some ash deposits, but, nothing like what I expected given my oil consumption rate.... (guess I REALLY need to have a look at the valve covers......) Cap, on the other hand.... holy smoke. the brass contacts were so carboned up, I am not surprised it rls. Got everything changed out, put back together, reset the PCM, and it runs MUCH better.

 

Yesterday during lunch I went out to the pick and pull to scavenge for parts to fix my cupholder and get some misc. interior pieces (the little rubber covers that go in the handles on the back of the front seats and such). For $7 I got the pieces I needed and now my cupholder works like new and all the misc. interior trim is back in. I absolutely LOVE the pick and pull, haha!

 

... on your way to the leaking intake manifold.

Not that I'm wishing that upon you. It's just that time of year when the fickle finger of fate develops a fondness for proctology and a preference for those without heated garages.

 

Bite you tongue.

Fortunately, I have a heated garage.

 

installed the lock and roll tonneau I picked up off of ebay for $112 shipped.. excellent deal

 

A heated garage AND deferred maintenance on the truck, all at the same time? Dude...

Happy New Year!

 

I drove my CLEAN Laramie into town for a change usually drive the other one
