Cool. I only asked because with it stuck into the dash like that, and all the way over there, you'll never hear the built in speaker unless you're stopped, with the motor off, and everyone is perfectly quiet, lol!

This weekend's plans?

For some that think I don't do squat. I beg to differ. I do stuff when I feel like it.

Hauled out the old dead o2 sensor, and the studs, spare new studs and nuts I had for my VW turbo manifold, put those in the the exhaust ( matched so why not ) so no more CEL and less of a gas pig.

Removed the front diff brackets, lifted the diff and hauled out the Actuator, Locked the shift fork engaged, went to the diff, slide it to engaged. Tested it in the driveway ( YES my garage is a driveway ) All 4 wheels spun, dropped one wheel in the rear made sure the Open diff worked as it does. Then made sure to slide the actuator in proper, tested it before I did all the bolts BINGO. I once again have 4wd. Works the same as before, Tcase shift on the fly. So w/o skid plates I need a testing grounds now.

Also fixed my exhaust so its not sitting on the Transmission cross member.

AS well I worked on the VW a bit.
