Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Well I don't own a jeep. But I have seen them driving down the road. To me they don't seem any bigger then the liberty. The jeep 4 door has like 54 cubic ft of space with the seats down. The liberty has like 64 cubic ft with the seats down. check out jeeps web site if you don't belive me. But when I was driving the liberty I noticed there was no room. With me being 6'2" I could harldy fit in it. That was with the seat all the way back. I think if I wuld have laye down in the back. I could have touched the tail gate and alsmot the dash with my head. I can hardley even get a 6'6" rod in my grandparents montana. But I can fit my rods in my neon. I jusy lay them on the passenger seat. No I don't have to lay the seat all the way down.

Project cars.
It seems like a lot of people are working on boats latley. So I would like to hear about your car projects. I don't care if its still a bare frame, or a car that your driving. So lets see some pictures and a story about the car. If you can list all thats been done, and what you want to do. So I will start all of this. I have a 04 eletric blue pearl coat neon srt-4. Right now its in phase one of four. Phase one is the looks. I fixed some dents and scratchs. I had to uses 12 coats of ppg paint for the drivers door alone. Then I had to blend the base coat into both fenders. Then after the base I out on ppg clear on the whole drivers side. While I was wokring on it I took off all the emblams on the truck. right now iam wating for some aar strobe graphics for the side. After that Iam going to two tone it. The hood, roof, spoiler, and trunk will be black. Iam aslo trying to find mate black rims for it yet. But after this is done time for phase two. That will be coilovers and bigger sway bars. phase 4 is the seats. I have to get rid of the leather seats. They sucks in the winter and summer. After that pahse four. a t3/t4 50 trim turbo. good for about 450 hp. 3in stainless exhaust and 3in down pipe. ram air or cold air intake. A bigger intercooler. A forged set of rods and pistons. and many other things I cant think of right now. fresh paint fresh paint fixing a little scratch striping of the old clear. right after clear. right after clear.

Good and cold opening weekend.
Well this past weekend bass opened here in Wisconsin. So my buddy calls me up and wants to break in the new boat. We get to the lake and I stick my hand in the water. Iam guessing its about 50 degress. So we head out and a front is going over. We are in a little 16 ft jon boat. The wind was so strong the 30 acre lake had white caps all over it. We see fish are sitting in about 6-8 feet of water. We counted down rapala rattle baits and my buddy hooked in to a few. So after frezzing my butt of iam like lets go behind this point that has trees on it. For some thing the fish gods are also telling me to go shallow. so we hook into about 8 more fish before we leave. We could tell the males from the females. You would catch mom then dad. I don't think they were on the beds yet just geting ready. And from some reason with the water being that cold rattle baits worked. But it looks like we are headingout in a few weeks. I will get my buddy a fish on a bed. This time I wll make sure he brings the camera.

Wisconsin Bass season opens today.
I can't belive it. Were iam at right now the local lake had the ice melt a few weeks ago. About 30 minns north of here lakes are still froze over. I saw more boats heading north yesterday then I did south. I bet they will be mad when they see theres still a few inches of ice on the lakes. So depending on the weather I might get out today to do some fishing. All I have to do is drive about a hour south to find open water.

Whose got subs?
I have had many sets of subs in my lfe. No the subs will not work with out a amp period. The amp will not afect your factory speakers. You only hook up a sub or subs to them. The subs and amp will not work with a factory head unit. you will have to get a converter to get it to work with it. But after you get done spending money on them you could have got a nice aftermarket cd player. Not all amps are 4 ohms. And from what I heard two ohms are better. Pm lbh about that stuff. If you have never hooked up a amp before go to a place that sells car audio. But I repeat do not go to best buy or any of them places. Bring in the owners books for amp. They might be able to help you with the wiring. If they can do it let them hook up the amp. One more thing make sure your amp and subs are matched. What I mean by that dont go and buy a 1,500 watt amp and 300 watt subs. Make sure your subs or sub can handle half of the power at peak power. Check out jl audio stuff. Cost a little more but well worth it.

The price of tools
I have a whole tool chest full of craftsman tools. My dad loved them so do I. Sears offers free replacement if a tool would ever break. It dosn't matter how old the tool is. I saw my dad once take back a 20 year old screw driver and they got him a new one. Nothing aginst snap-on or mack tools they just cost to munch. A set of 34 wrenchs from them cost like 1,200 dollers. You can go to sears and buy a lot of tools for that price. Plus if a craftsman tool breaks you don't have to wait two weeks to get a replaced. So you will pay a little more for a name. But harbor fright also has good deals from time to time. So shop around.

A-Rod and steroids.
I was watching good morning america and Jose was on there. They took bits of a interview with him from I think 20/20. It all started when Alex was a rookie. Jose Said he came to him asking were and how he can get steroids. Later in the interview Jose said he never saw or injectd Alex with steroids. So he has no clue if he took them or not. Form what I got in this interview is Jose cant stand Alex. He kept calling his wife all the time when he just started out in the leauge. I just think Jose should keep his mouth shut about steroids. Hes not playing any more. I guess if you have 32 year old guy that will break the home run record in the future. People will say what they will.

Am I the only one?
Sorry about your brother passing. I know how it is to lose some one close. I lost my dad 4 years ago. He wasnt munch of a fisher man. I have a few old rods and reels of his. I have only used one of his rods. But he was more of a car guy. He taught me how to rip down a chevy 350 motor and put it back together. It is still hard to this day to work on a car with out thinking about him. After he died all I told my grandma that I wanted was his tool chest. I still have it sitting at her house. Those tools mean more to me then my life. But I wish you the best of luck in the future.

What happened to Lightninrod
I talked to white mike a few weeksago on aim. He was buying a lot of drop shot and shakey head stuff. I think I saw him post a few weeks ago. But he has told me in the past that he really dosn't come here any more. I don't think iam the person to say why he dosn't come here.

Do you have any fishing quirks?
I thought I was the only guy that fishes barefoot. But other then that. I need to wear the same hat. I guess I always have to play some speed metal on the way to the fishing hole. Then on the wy back I play some classic rock.

Check out jegs.com. Or you could could call your local shop and ask them wht it would cost to run 3in stright pipes with the cats. Then have have them throw on a set of glass packs. Its also might be cheaper. I have learned that you really cant here a exhaust from the cabin of most trucks unless you gun it. Were in my neon has a 2.25 inch duel exhaust and you can hear it in the cabin. But to me I really like to hear how my car sounds. It will only drown out the stero under hard boost. And no my car dosn't sound like a ricer burner. I have had many people say it sounds like a v-6
