Your dallas sized tool box

 

i have 7 toolboxes right now. they're all full.... and theyre all specialty tools i'll rarely use. but i have them

 

Damn always doin him dirty

 

He exposed his ass crack to me, so this is how I’m getting even.

 

who is that?

 

*only 17 payments left*

 

Is that a condom on his head

 

He was just trying to invite you to have somewhere warm to stay

 

One of his friends

 

not mine. iKamper owner. Was catching up with him this evening, planning some fishing. He was doing a brake service on a Lexus F Sport. Dealer had quoted the customer at like 1200 I believe for front rotors and pads. Damn crazy stealership.
nice impact though. puts my dewalt to shame

 

Holy hell 1200 for a font brake job?

 

So wtf would cause the damn taillight fuse to blow in the engine bay fuse box? stop lamp fuse in the cabin box is fine. Brake lights are dead as are markers. Dash lights intermittently flashing as well even though gauge lights fuse is ok. Very weird - multiple electrical issues out of nowhere.

 

right? pfft. fkin dealer service I tell you - no offense @Empty_Lord

 

Home Depot has it. Everbilt Coupling Nut. 5/8" 11x2-1/8"

yep.

 

if you do adjust it, be careful. Highly suggest reviewing Tim's video here and also the FSM. Check with Dan also. He might have some good advice on the FSM aspect of the job.

you think i care? fuck im tempted to quit before 2020. our labor rates keep going up but my pay is still a fraction of that. a VERY small fraction

 

apologies - wasn't meant as a negative to you at all. you can't quit - they are your parts source
I wonder if that is a corp thing or just a local dealer service dept thing (not increasing the svc tech rate). sucks.

 

I'll write something up in the Lighting section on cheap ass Amazon LEDs tomorrow since I'm way tired but some pics for your enjoyment. Yep, this is a stop/tail light LED (1157). Going back to stock bulbs.







bulb on the left is the passenger side (no issues)

 

Yeah me too. Was a bit worried that perhaps all of the electrical I had done (including re-wiring the shell brake light), might be the cause.

I had bought those LEDs back in 2016. Cheap overseas Amazon stuff but they worked fine. Now this. Not good at all. What was really odd and I do want to figure out why, that damn bulb remained energized. I pulled it from the tail light housing and it sat for some time. I then went back to it and looked at it closer. I could make out subtle discolorations which made me think of burn marks. Broke the LED housing to separate it and sure enough the damn thing started to smoke - not much but it was smoldering. freaky.

Anyway, point to sharing all of this - anyone have cheap ass LEDs, be careful. Might want to check that garbage.
