    Of course though, the best laid plans all fall apart when you have teenagers who "borrow" your tools. Countless times I have repeated the mantra "you are fine to use it, just put it back when done" only to need something, go to where I always put it and either find it in a completely different spot or missing entirely.

    I'm lucky that I'm the only user of my stuff out here. If something gets borrowed I take it to the borrower and "try" to remember who got it and when. People know I have all the tools and I'm ok to lend so long as I get it back.

    I need to look into the Versatrack. Do you like it pretty good? If you haven't will you post a picture in your garage build log?

    Posted some updates and pictures, I am pretty happy with it, it's pretty sturdy and has plenty of options for hanging different things on there. I have everything from a headge trimmer to camera bags hanging on it.

    I used to be so good with organizing my garage and tools. Then I started working on the inside of my house. I needed a "temporary" place to store everything, so most of the house stuff ended up in the garage. Then I threw my back out of place. I've been out of commision for the past couple of years. Now my back is feeling better. I started working on my car without first cleaning the garage out. What a mess. Lesson learned, clean and organize the garage first-then work on the car. I usually pull the car in on a diagonal and use both sides and my tools are usually in a specified place. I didn't have enough room to move around and I couldn't find anything. I got the job done but probably would have spent the same amount of time if I cleaned the garage and worked on the car.

    Any pictures I post counts as progress right?
    The existing vs the proposed

    Here is what the Diamond surround looked like when I took the door panel off. Just a little smushed

    A few minutes with a heat gun after


    The cutout diameters are not even close

    Gotta get started on some new adapters

    Passenger side speaker bracket. Skipping to the end the speaker would not fit. Turned out the window track bolt at the bottom was in the way. I figured out I had the bracket mounted about 1/4" too low. I cut a notch at the mounting screw and a 5mm spacer and it was good to go. One down....





    Also went from 4 lean codes down to 2. Ordered and installed a MAF to repair. Fingers crossed


    Future.....

    I have both midbasses in. I also had the same issue getting the door panel to fit around the larger speaker ring. After much profanity and a little sanding its installed.
    No way I'll get the subs installed before this weekend but I do plan to run the AutoEQ on the Pioneer again.
