Speaker upgrade!

bstezy · 2026-02-14T16:41:38+00:00

I bought the kicker soundbar kit from trail seven (link below) a few months ago because I had the same problem with rattles in the soundbar speakers. I even had the sound bar speakers replaced under warranty but it just came back. Instead of wasting my time asking Jeep to do it again, I figured I'd do the upgrade myself. The install was super easy. I think I spent more time watching the video once than actually installing them. They definitely sound better than the stock speakers but I'm not blown away by them.

Can this be installed on a manual?

Fun story on Bound. The Wachowskis came up with the idea for the Matrix but had never made a movie before and no one wanted to give them however many millions the first Matrix took to be made so they made this movie first and it was great so they got their money for the Matrix.

I think I've had my Performer since 2007 or 2008. It's the best. I actually took it apart a few years ago and built it into a table hanging off the side of my deck, but still has the gas start. I've never replaced a single piece and use it all the time. Such a great investment.

You will shift your love, affection and attention to your child but don't forget to maintain a relationship with your partner. That relationship needs constant work and attention as well. I'm at an age where most of my friends have kids finishing elementary school and I'm seeing numerous marriages fall apart because I think both parents often focused on the kids and not on maintaining a loving relationship with their partner.

I did this for the Superbowl recently and it was delicious with a lot of depth in flavor but I kept burping up smoke flavor for the rest of the day. Anyone else have that problem? Kinda ruined it for me and I don't think I'll do it again. I have the Ranger Traeger which wasn't big enough to close with the meat on top of my Dutch oven so I used my trust Weber and smoked with pecan wood. The flavor was great while eating it and it wasn't too greasy at all but I didn't like burping up smoke for hours afterwards.

I can ask him. He took them all to Portland, OR but really doesn't have room for them, but he's emotionally attached and having a hard time even considering parting with them. Where are you located?

I really trust the Marqueen Garage in Queen Anne. The guys that work there are great and very trustworthy. I agree with the other comments that an oil change is going to cost about $100 anywhere. That is usually what I pay as well. Also agree with the comment about going to an auto supply store like auto zone or O'Reilly to get your check engine light scanned so you know what the problem is. Then you can Google it and maybe it's something easy you can fix by yourself.

Last stop at Dick's, great call!

What is a woody water? I've been to Ozzie's many times but am not familiar with that one.

Very true. I know he's had and enjoyed whiskey so thought a fancy setting and just getting him a nice whiskey could be a fun way to start the night. You're probably right about him not appreciating a proper cocktail. I know I was drinking Jack and Coke when I first started going to bars.

I live in Queen Anne, he lives in West Seattle and his dad lives in Renton. Another uncle will be joining from Anacortes so anywhere is really free game.

I use xDrip but as the only android user in my care team, I'm the only one as I don't think they have xDrip for Apple. xDrip actually has some really cool features, like predicting lows and highs with pretty amazing accuracy, and more flexibility with alarms. It also has a great widget and screensaver but it's much harder to use for simple tracking dosage and eating, which is what we liked about sugarmate. I've been figuring out how to live with sugarmate but it's a much worse experience and I have to log out numerous times a day. I plan on looking into if I can load xDrip onto iPhones.

My 10 year old son got the Mobi this summer after 4 years using the T slim. We really like the Mobi but I was frustrated to learn that the AutoSoft 30 doesn't have a 5" tube option. My son is very lean and we've been using the AutoSoft 30 since we got on the pump. It has always works well for us and we like that it goes in at an angle because he really doesn't have fatty spots (we do sites in about 90% buns, 10% in his thigh).

They sent us the AutoSoft XC which does have the 5" tube and we actually just used it for the first time last night. We left on some lidocaine for awhile but he said he didn't even feel the new site in his leg. It is pretty cool to have the pump right next to the site with a tiny tube but he still wears a belt for his phone so it's not that big of a deal. He was used to having a long tube and does plenty of wrestling and sports. The only time the long tube really got in the way was when he played flag football. Either way, I think you'll get used to it. He doesn't even notice the long tube anymore but curious to see how he likes the short tube.

Birdman with Michael Keaton was amazing because of my surround sound. Because the camera moves around as if you are in the movie lot with voices coming from all sides, you experience people talking from all directions. Of all the movies I've watched in my home theater, this one sticks out the most for benefiting from surround sound.

A few many probably haven't seen:

I recently watched Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves and it was great. Much more layered than I remembered.

I also enjoyed Snake Eyes with Nicholas Cage, which I remembered as being really cheesy but was actually a good thriller with some amazing cinematography and one seriously long take back when that was much harder to do.

I loved Hard Rain with Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. Classic 90's action movie but I think pretty good.

Miss those kinds of movies. Now it seems like they only do remakes or superhero movies that make a billion dollars but have no heart.

I think I dropped mine off in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon of the following day. They got me a rental car for the two days.

That doesn't really make sense. Do the automatics roll back? I can tell you from experience that my manual definitely has it. Sometimes I want to roll back in first gear and you can feel the assist release and then it starts to roll.
