Thank you! I found those steel dice on Etsy a few years ago and had them on my office desk. Had the powder coater weld them on so that they showed all 7's on the faces you can see. I need all the luck I can get!

Nothing major this round. Just prepping for the Rausch trip this weekend. Greasing everything, tightening, etc, etc. I finally got around to trimming the rear pinch seam
Picked this Ridgid saw a little while ago. Nice for small jobs and you only need one hand to hold it.
The offending piece
Hit it with the grinder, self-etching primer and coated with bed spray. Done. Hopefully that's the end of that.

Replaced Speakers
Since I only ordered a Sport model with zero frills, I was stuck with the entry level radio and really, the biggest problem with the sound system, the crappy entry level speakers. Don't need to tell anyone how bad they suck.
Thanks to JK_Dave who posted up his speaker change-out. I went the same way. Rear sound bar replacement is simple. The fronts are more complicated as you have to take out the majority of the dash. They do clear the speaker grilles in the front. Just have to leave the grill off, which isn't even needed there.

I put these speakers in my red 2 door. i also ran an converter from my stick head unit to an amp and then to the speakers- no subwoofer..was very happy with them and will likely upgrade again in my new 4 door as the stock speakers still suck.

That's likely my next step too, although I may try to pick up a satellite radio somewhere before that. I really can't stomach the local commercial stations that sometimes play music. :icon_crazy:

Damn, really? I didn't even think about this. Do you have the Rock hard cage?

The cage isn't that hard to remove once you install it.
