RedPath, Unfortunately you won't be seeing my truck on Kings to often anymore, my truck and I are now living in San Diego. That's a great story though, and I'm glad I do know the site, it's helped me so much. Every time I see a nice wd21 I wonder if they know the site and always think about leaving the address. Thanks for the welcome!

Over the last week or so: Re-soldered door lock timer, oil and filter change, cleaned air filter, prepped nerf bars and taillight covers for paint, ran drip irrigation line in the door seals, replaced wiring for amp and installed a new amp. And yesterday the speedometer decided to stop working

I have the Power T1572's, they're in the higher end series of RF's. The Prime is their lower end, then the Punch and then Power. I think the MSRP was somewhere around $200+ when they were new, I picked up all 4 for $90 so it was a pretty great deal. I bypassed the stock amp's so they're running off my Pioneer HU and it seems to be enough power, then I have a JL 10" and they all sound good together. I'm definitely happy with them especially for the price I got them for. As far as an amp install, I've never felt the need to run another amp for the speakers as long as you have a good HU that puts out enough power. I only run an amp for a smaller sub because I don't listen to much rap or other really bass heavy music and I just want the sound to be full, not rattle windows. I never wanted to put that much money into a system for my car, I prefer to use it for my home stereo instead. Thats just my opinion though

Put in rockford fosgate power 5x7's all around, they didn't just drop in, but that's what a dremel is for.

One of my co-workers recently got a '93xe and I installed a new sound system for him today. New deck, 4 speakers, amp & sub. PO had installed an aftermarket deck and left a rats nest of wiring in the dash... so that was fun. It looked like he tied everything in a knot, then wrapped it with a whole roll of electrical tape. Anyway, I cleaned all that up and everything else went fairly smooth. I just picked up 4 new Rockford Fosgate Power 5x7's for my '94xe and will be installing in the next day or two.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I'm definitely happy with how the interior turned out. I like it a lot more than the turquoise/purple/royal blue woven cloth that the leather replaced. The lumbar support is my favorite part. teixeira, I have the console extension with the lid but I took it out because it feels like it's in the way when I'm shifting a lot. Does anyone know if there is a lid for the smaller portion of the console?? I've looked around but haven't found anything yet... I'm not that great with the search function yet.

Thanks everyone Kyle94, I'm down in Corvallis, about 90 mins from Portland. I haven't lived here very long, but I think that was a record snowfall. Sure was nice to have the Pathy because this town doesn't have snow plows. Precise1, I'm not sure about the brush guard. I picked it up off craigslist and couldn't find a brand or model # on it, I was guessing Manik. It seems like it might be for a hardbody because it sits a little high, kinda blocks the bottom of the headlights. I'll be trying to fix that once the weather is a little better. The rain just stopped for a minute so I got some interior pics.

Yesterday I cleaned the air filter, MAF sensor and throttle body. It can breathe!

Hello NPORA people, Another new guy from Oregon here, although when I say "new" I actually mean I've been lurking as a guest on NPORA for a couple years learning lots of great things so thanks for all your help already. About my Pathy It's a 1994XE, 158xxx miles, 4x4, I think there's an LSD sticker under a bunch of dirt, color is dark blue with the awful blue interior. I swapped out all of the blue cloth (seats, door panels) for tan leather so now its a two tone tan on blue, much better in my opinion. I'll try to get pics of that soon. I bought the truck last summer and haven't gotten to do too much to it yet, but definitely have some plans for it. PO put on rancho 5000's, black 15" steelies (not sure of brand), and there are some worn avon 31x10.5 MT's that need replacing soon. Since I got it I put a K&N drop in air filter, pioneer HU, arc speakers in the back, kenwood amp, jl audio 10", one of the damage amplifying brush guards, that little interior swap I mentioned, and the usual general maintenance stuff. Here's the only pic I have right now... I promise I'll get more
