I started installing subs and had to pull up the rubber mat and found dirt packed along the rail inside the drivers side, had to break up the dirt and get it vac'd out. And what did i find, RUST. So now I have to go get some rustolium primer do some painting. So she's side lined for now.

Cause the engine light to go on since I was cleaning up the engine bay. Now, I don't know how I caused it.

Mounted the trailer brake controller. Mounted the CD changer. Need to finish up wiring them up.

It looks like she is going to get some highway miles pulling a trailer helping a friend move.

replaced the passenger side outer tie rod end, and the blower resistor. Had to cut the old resistor off as the yellow wire burned up and would not pull off. Spliced in some extra wire and a heavy spade connector. Its nice to finally have all 4 fan speeds working, and tighter steering that doesn't skip on me

Mounted the Maglight recharger in the new rollback. I put it alongside the drivers seat just inside the door so its easy to grab on the way out of the cab.

Its been a slow week, I need to finish up the rear brake lines so I can drive it. Work obligations and cold windy crap kept me from doing that.

I got the tags and insurance done friday, yesterday I got all the old rusty crusty brake lines off and started bending the new ones up.

Today is a little warmer, I may go out and work on it some more.
