    The same shit everyone else has.
    Got it back from the body shop.

    Took 20 days all said and done.

    Im satisfied with the work done other than a few tiny little things. The driver side fender is missing the little rubber bumper that the hood sits on and my underhood lights do not work. Not mad enough to go back and complain.

    When I put the dual battery back in, Ill sort out the light - its probably just unplugged - but does anyone have a part number for the little rubber bumper?

    I need to start rebuilding the next set of retrofits now as I forgot horrible the OEM lights were.

    EDIT - These

    What bumper are you running? Did it require trimming?

    I really want to stuff a light bar in the lower valance. But lately have been wanting a slimline bumper so I've been avoiding doing anything by indecision lol.

    Lights are addicting to say the least!

    They must be addictive. Seems to turn them into Zombie Deer when I put the beam to them

    Hell, how do you make Margueritas without any orange liqueur like Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Patron Citrone?
    1 part lime juice
    1 part tequila
    1 part Squirt(think of this as simple sugar with another citrus, grapefruit)
    1/8 part orange liqueur
    Salt the rim and blend w/ 1 1/2cups ice.

    We juice the limes from my folks tree every January ('bout 300 oz) to last the year. Freeze it in 32oz yogurt cartons to store and cube it in ice cube trays to use.
    Our recipe actually blends mostly lime with lemon, grapefruit, and orange to round out the flavor. The lemon comes from the lime tree which at one time froze and came back with lemons on some branches from the root stock. The orange is a dollop of frozen oj in each 32 oz carton. Killer.

    That's crazy about the lemon/lime tree! I've had a small lemon shrub since October that I bought with two large green lemons, and small grape sized one and three buds. I manually pollinated the buds and got some little lemons coming but nothing has changed since October. They haven't changed colors or grown at all... This is my first experience with a fruiting tree so I'm not sure what's up. Can't wait to have my first harvest though!

    Was yesterday, but since we ran out of light, took some pictures today. Put on the WeatherTech window deflectors and more importantly, completed the installation of the KB Voodoo bedrack (which I must say, looks great).

    Just installed a set of new winter tires roughly 3k ago. Noticing (after measuring with a tire depth gauge) there is a 2/32 difference from outside to inner tread. As an example the outside measures 12/32s while the inner measures 10/32s. Is this considered uneven wear or is this negligible? Considering its only been 3k since install this could be an issue.

    After install, mount, and balance I had an alignment done at the stealership. I had to pick it up after hours and was told by the service manager that the paper work would be left in the cab. The paperwork they left did not include the before and after of the alignment. What say you TW? Should I have them redo it for free or use this opportunity to check out an import auto shop with great reviews to take my business to?

    Sorry- long winded. Thank you.

    Kory
