i bought all the crap to relocate mine yesterday and i attempted to start running the cable, but i'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to run it cleanly and out of the way. no holes in the frame to run it under the fender, the abs module is in the way blocking my hand from going through the firewall. i may have to try and route it a bit lower and get at the firewall from underneath the car.

I would just drill a hole in the firewall just below the AC condenser. Run the cable under the carpet on the passenger side door sill.

Jack?

Drill the hole from the inside, just pull the carpet down. Poke the wire through from the inside, and just reach down and grab it.

I have most of my aftermarket wiring running through a hole in that location, you should not need a jack.

I go back to work tomorrow, too!Time for my proper paycheck again, I can't wait. Though, it was fun hanging out at home and doing jack s*** all day. Sadly, I think I needed this break from everyday life. I learned lots by taking a step back from everything and letting it all roll.

It's fun sometimes isn't it? I'm sure you'll enjoy getting back into the swing of things though.

No, seriously, it's just the new job. I am totally psyched about living in a hotel

I mean think about it... Hotels have pools, exercise rooms, sweat rooms, hotel bars, free wifi, etc. I can even order a movie if I get bored.

I'm stoked about using the exercise rooms. I packed on like 40 pounds since I started the crappy sit-down job a year ago and I need to lose some weight. Really all i need is to get moving again. I think I'm gonna hit the gym every day till I get back down to 200 again. Maybe then I'll see about getting some chicks.

Damn you, I need a new job bad. I hate having no money. It doesnt help that the state has been suffering economically for a long time.

On the plus side, I finally got a good friend of mine to commit to recording some drum tracks for me on the songs I'm writing. Now all I need is a vocalist. I'll end up recording all the guitar and bass parts myself, but I need to keep looking for another guitarist (which I'm fairly sure I have) and a bassist and I'll be able to start gigging. I just need to finish putting some of the songs together now.

after all the shenanigans that have occurred here, it's pretty safe to say that this thread won't stop...ever.

Well, at least you will fit in with the rest of us. How about background vocals? Like, off the stage vocals?

You could work security. I'm sure every night will be like a huge pu$$y bomb going off. If you play your cards right you might get hit with shrapnel
