    That sucks but at least it's in Houston. I emailed them on Monday about the status of my order and haven't heard anything back yet.

    On a positive note my new ball joints should show up today. Then I can install them in my angled drive way with my stock bottle jack. That should be fun...

    They called this afternoon and said they will deliver between 12-4 tomorrow...we will see if that happens.

    In the meantime I got tracking info for my Prinsu...it doesn't show a delivery date yet but I can't imagine it would take long. That one is coming from UPS.

    I had my driver seat sitting in there, all tacked with wire welder. Sitting in it, adjusting it. It felt good. It's gonna be great. Then went to close the door and it won't close. So I had to take it back out and break all the tacks with a hammer. Screw it. I will do it tomorrow

    Nice!

    Be careful running the wiring for that external speaker, I had issues with mine getting interference from somewhere that would get a lot of feedback.

    Ended up removing my cb from where it was and then mount it to where it would not need an external speaker.

    I had it on the B-Pillar, CB was mounted in the Center console, so it was hard to hear, so the external speaker cable was ran under the driver seat, up the B pillar to the top.

    I now have the CB mounted on the passenger side of the center console kinda by where a person knees would be.

    So far has not been in the way of anyone.

    Ah nice, may not need a external speaker there possibly?

    I have my switches for lights and air compressor and locker there.

    Probably don't need it, but I'd really prefer to have one.

    Also need to install my PA speaker under the hoodish and wire that as well.

    Because it is only stupid Thursday.

    Thankfully the new UCAs arrive today... I think I am going to try and install them tomorrow after work possibly... or Saturday more than likely and then get an alignment on Monday.
