I have some old pioner speakers for now. Im going to upgrade to some marine speakers someday. I also plan on installing some wakeboard speakers on the rollcage someday.
 
where did you order the quick disconect hinges from? I have those same doors and would like to install them when i get back.
 
Well i drove the crockpot around havelock today. It still needs some tlc but she drives.

How did the steering feel? Was the PS worth the hassle?
 
The power steering was great! Much easier to turn the 33s. Thanks to all that helped me install.

I have some rataling under the 40 that i need to investigate. Hopefully its something easy.
 
Well i drove the crockpot the farthest distance its been driven in 10 years today. A nice 12 miles drive at a high speed of 45. The wife eas following me just in case. The speedomoter is dead on which is nice. Now i need to get more speed. I guess either change the gears or i was thinking narrower tires. Im currently running 33 x12.50 is i go to a narrower size that should help right?
 
Was 45mph as fast as it would go? Narrower tires is not the answer here - if that's your top speed, there is an issue!!!

Did you have the pedal to the metal, or did it sound like it was tacking too high?

:beer: R
 
Will check tcase tonight.

Was in 4th

Not sure if it was slipping. This is the first time driving this thing in a few years was more worried about staying on road. Haha
 
Dont yell at me..but I had a chance to purchase these babies at a ridiculously awesome price..Some kind of partnership deal from work...very hush hush. :)

I have it on pretty darn good authority that most if not all Polk speakers are marine rated...
 
Not really an update but for now im going to keep the crockpot.

Still trying to decide if i want a soa over or 4 inch lift. I have springs for a 4 inch lift and i have a set of 55 springs if i do a soa. Hmmmm
 
Man a fre springs. The 55 springs are from a fj55.

Thank God you clarified where the 55 springs came from :flipoff2:

I knew you wouldn't sell the 'ol Crockpot. Now you need to make a solid decision on where you want it to be, get it there, and use it (I'm guilty of not doing the last part lately).
