Default FINALLY!

Started at 2AM last night, finished about 5PM, but got all 6 spark plugs swapped out!

The longest was of course, #3, but the boot on #6 was almost as hard to get off, lol, fired it up and it was running rough and heard that little "tick tick tick tick" that means a plug wire is grounding out...

Luckilly, it was just that #6 boot that wasn't on properly, now she purrs nice and smooth, and on the plus side, the new plugs got rid of this annoying knock/tick (a cross between the two)

Yeah, I slept from about 9AM until 3PM, with intermittent anime breaks so I wouldn't take the 16lb sledge to the steering shaft, lol.

Next step is air and fuel filters... I haven't decided if I'm going to go with a CAI or get an AEM Dryflow panel filter...

Actually, now that I've done it once, I don't think it'll be that bad next time around...

I won't need to sleep in the middle of it, at any rate, lol

LOL I know what you mean. We got the speakers out of the dash of my uncles jeep Scrambler and the passenger side cam right out. But he cussed at that drivers side speaker for a solid hour trying to get it out. When he did, he spiked it on the concrete, busted the magnet into a million peices and chipped the concrete.

And I thought I was the only one who relieved his frustrations like that.
Gets kinda costly sometimes.

!It was funny as hell. That 26-year-old speaker didn't stand a chance.
