I installed the rear speakers and door panels. I had to modify the speakers to fit the speaker mounts. I have a set of Metra mounts coming to replace the front blue mounts but after modifying the speakers I found they'll attach to the original mounts just fine so I'll send the new ones back when they get here. I took a rotary tool and put a channel between the inner mounting hole and the outer mounting hole. Works perfectly. The foam that sat between the door panel and the speakers was toast so I bought some air conditioner foam at Lowes and installed it. It looks much better than the original junk.

Installed new lower fuel filler neck hoses. Worse job than LIM gaskets.

Oil change, and ran the winch cable out and rewound it back in just because it's been a while :P

Couple hours ago had a group of hoodlums ride out into the main the road through town in front of me, damn near flattened them... THIS is one of the reasons I've ran dash cameras in both mine and the wife's vehicle for the past 7 years...

I pulled into the gas station on the left right afterwards, guess where they were headed too... On my way inside one of them had the audacity to ask me for a freaking dollar...

Finished installing the front door speakers and got the right side door panel on. Could not install the right side panel because I encountered an issue with the power lock actuator giving up the ghost. It's been slowly going out over the last year or so. I did check out the new speakers and what a difference. The new drivers side mirror I installed wiggles like crazy when driving. I've put in a return request with the supplier. It's kind of relaxing to work on the old girl and see how much better she's getting.

I would have said "hey man I was about to ask you the same question!" just to see the look on his face.

For some reason this post reminded me of that movie Christine.

Prompted by GreenBlazer2002, I rewatched my favorite Chevy Blazer review.
