    So I was checking the psi in my tires and doing a visual inspection before I drive 500 miles tomorrow night, and I noticed that there is some grease or something on the transmission above the seal between the transmission and the pan. Not sure what it could be or why it would be going up the side of the trans if it was leaking or something?

    No pics, but I installed a push-button start today, just for kicks.

    This would have come in handy in my rock-crawling days (carburetor), when I would stall while climbing rocks. Using the starter can get you over the rocks until on level ground.

    Put on some Magnaflow 50 state converters! Makes me want to get headers and finish off a stainless exhaust. Don't know if they will keep the cel off yet! (fingers crossed)
    Also wired up a blitzpro reverse light, relay and all, helps a ton at night

    Haha I understand. I'm debating going with speakers like those for the back. I plan to amplify all four speakers plus the door tweeters. All kicker...

    Looking at these for the rear right now.

    And these for the front.

    Yeah, that's probably what the intended use was meant for huh? :)
    Push button starts are wonderful. I use mine when I'm in my snowboard boots and want to fire it up as soon as I open the door!

    Got it back from the shop. Went in for an alignment after the lift and had them install my new steering rack bushings and new outer/inner tie rods ends on my driver side. Steering is super tight now. Then I went for a drive to test out the new suspension. It's definitely more stiff, but hopefully it breaks in a bit.

    I have a kenwood amp for my subs and I really like it. Pioneer 6x8s in the doors and the back panels. I usually check reviews and specs on crutchfield and reviews on Amazon before I buy stuff like that.

    Wheels and tires are short term, they came off my 99 when Toyota bought it back for frame rust. I put the outlaws and BFG's on because they ride better than the crap tires it came with. Waiting on procomp 7069 and terra grappler 285's.
