after buying it i found out it had sat for almost 3 years (not good lol)

that same day i bought it i drove to work all pumped about my new ride only to findout AFTER work at about 1 am and 5 degrees above zero my alternator was shot...

after that nothin really special happened besides some stickers and whatnot till july 4th 2011 ...it happened...following my grandpa to find some place to eat before my dad flew home we passed a place and went to turn around in a parking lot so i followed him around got back on the road went on the gas and she just reved...i lookded down to make sure i didnt bump it into netrual ..still in drive..shift down to 3rd..nothing 2nd 1st...nothing nothing...tranny was gone..not a clanck, crack. pop, or squeel ...just nothing...

so i had to park my loved blazer for about 6 months before i saved up enough money to have it fixed. and finally i got her back and running and as a treat to myself (tranny didnt cost as much as i thought) figured a little system in her was due

the mistfit duels lasted about two months then a friend of mine needed some cash and had a JL 10 in for sale ..50 bucks later i had 2 12s and 1 10 lol my misfit system was complete with a 1600 watt amp she would rattle your brain pretty good (not bad for staying under 300 bucks for all of it haha)

but...then i decided to move to Washington state so i sold my misfit dues and amp and kept my 10in jl and my old 760 watt amp

becuse i had my switch for my roof lights on the open spot on my dash i decided to take the dermal out and fit both switched out but becuse on how i had the old switch i had to put some tape between the two to cover the hole..not the best work but i had to finish it up quick haha
