I built a bracket to attach to my roof rack to secure the shovel and axe to it. Amazingly, I didn't have any complaints from the neighbors even though I was pounding out the metal at 11pm Friday night. :thumbsup:

These aren't my cup of tea. Guess I just don't get it. Looks like the hood is held down with ratchet straps. That's just me though.

My horn sporadically works so I decided I would check all my grounds and check my fuses. There were a few grounds that were extremely loss so those go tightened up and my fuses looked good but replaced then anyway since I had new ones just in case. So far so good, I'll continue to keep an eye on it. Can't afford to have a horn that doesn't work work properly, blow my horn at ass holes on the road has save me from accidents quite a few times.

I bought new plugs way back in December 2011, at 129000 miles. And now 8 months later, with 154000 miles, figured it's time to finally get them installed! :redface: Thanks to MAY03LT for the wonderful (and fun:rotfl:) video, dispelled my apprehension about the last plug in the back... and WOW, what a refreshing increase of power! :wootwoot:

It's never a good idea to rush into anything. :rotfl:

I have a back-up camera sitting on the shelf in my basement. I bought it about 3 years ago. I'm still doing studies.

Fixed the recline on the passengers side seat......

My daughter, after countless times of telling her to "quit playing with the seats/power windows, you can't afford to fix it", it finally happened....the seat fully reclined, seatbelt locked AND seat would NOT go to upright position, we could here the motor making noise but no movement :hissyfit: So stopped at my trusty mechanic but not something he was comfortable dealing with and I would have to go to a dealership.....hell no....they would probably blame it on my Remote Start again (that's a whole other story). Finished off the errand for the day with my daughter and my mom in the back seat.....
So had a real good look under the seat this morning, unbolted the seat from the floor and lifted it up to see what might be the problem....The motor under the seat that operates the recline fell off its mount thus pulling out the cable that runs the gears for the recline, found where the cable goes, plugged the cable end back in and re-mounted the the motor with bigger washers and all runs as it should :wootwoot:
My daughter was super relieved because this mom was pretty mad, lesson learned for her, though, she won't play around with the seats/windows anymore (or she better not), cheap fix for mom this time :biggrin:

Got my truck back today from the local car audio place. They had it since last WED morning.
Got new red and blue strobes for the heads and tails. They did a relay so I can kick em on with my alarm remote as well.
Put a Stinger Voltmeter (wrapped in black suede) in the Dash where the round TrailBlazer disc was (i.e. where the 4x4 controls would be).
In the hatch, they did a custom pod (wrapped in black suede) over each side window, a Type-R 8" sub and a Type-R 6.5" co-ax in each side pod.
Rebuilt my amp rack, wrapped in black sueded, adding in a PDX-F4, with red LED lighting.
Oh, and Type-X tweets to fill in the blanks in the dash.
They also hooked me up with the headlight-chime module, not sure whatever happened to mine over the years.
Very Impressed!

I cleaned and re-oiled my K&N filter. Then I took off the heat shield and reinstalled the factory air box lid.I left the CAI tube on it. It will be interesting to see if anything changes performance wise.

I know I know :redface: I was thinking someone would say that. I had to clean up after I picked it up (I have extreme OCD so I had to do my little clean ups) Then I came to work. So there was no time for any but I will get some pics up sometime soon :raspberry: But be forewarned they will be my usual cell phone pics, can't guarantee good quality.

Those "stay back" signs exist the backs of dump trucks for a reason :tongue:

As do the laws about having your load secured.

Its way worse when you have a small car, in the low-sitting cars like Corollas and Civics, everything coming off other vehicles tires is already at windshield height. At 80mph on I-93 in Boston, a truck in front of me lost 10-20 4x8 sheets of plywood. Each one flipped in the air one after the other. My only choice was to hug his bumper and watch them fly over me. Best part was the Freightliner behind me blowing through them like Optimus Prime. Had I not been right in front of him it was straight up badass

Is this secure enough?

When you said "over each side window", that was one of the configurations that popped into my head. I guess an appropriate caption would be "Cargo area windows? I don't need no stinking cargo area windows!" :rotfl: Any idea how they mounted them? :undecided: I think having those up there would make me go really slow over speed bumps at first :banghead:

"Cargo area windows? I don't need no stinking cargo area windows!" ----Love it :rotfl: But check out my garage, I had already had those windows wrapped in some vinyl with a lightning theme anyways, so no loss there.

I have to go back on FRI to follow up on something, If I remember I will ask him about how they are mounted :thumbsup:
