Got some new wheels and tires. :dance:

Danny gave me a hand we spent 4 and a 1/2 hours mounting them. Now I see why tire shops charge so much to mount beadlock wheels. I hated them for a moment due to the work, but sure like the finished product now.

Well I got a few things knocked out on the Baja in the past couple of weeks
I was walking through the garage the other day and noticed that she had pissed brake fluid out of the rear wheel cylinders. I found a couple things that needed attention. See if you can notice what is wrong in the first pic....

Image

lost a bolt and the emergency brake hook is on the wrong side. I went ahead and rebuilt both sides,
Image

I also got some tunes put in for Courtney. I really dig this system it is totally hidden. Its a bluetooth amp and the speakers slide under the front seats. They have forward and rear facing mids and highs with 8" subs.

I put a dollar in the picture so you could see just how small the amp is.
Image

Image

I also put some fat mat down and new rubber floors.
Image


I needed a passenger side mirror so I sourced a couple of mirrors from thesamba,
Image
Image
Image

I also installed an antenna delete plug and threw away the antenna.
