    You seriously thought I'd put a new shock shaft in a vise?

    enjoyed some global warming and finished driver front wheel well undercoating with CF 3000 and snapped the liner in, cleaned out wheel arch molding piece and bolted back together

    this product was super easy to apply with the air gun & wand that atomized it
    no drip and no funky smell or odd yellow color
    made my truck look 10+ years younger in this weathered area
    i am super stoked to see it light up in the sunshine or certain night lights
    it could be a breathtaking moment!

    still need to finish the passenger side with FF before the cold returns...

    I noticed that my trip meter is 2 miles less than the actual trip. My work is exactly 30 miles. Trip meter says 28. Based on that it’s roughly 6.5% less actual recorded miles.

    I can't remember if it was the CRV ones or another brand but there's a write up on here somewhere for installing another brand of nozzles that have a spray pattern rather than the blob/stream that our truck's nozzles do

    I rarely use mine tbh, maybe I just buy crappy wipers but it seems like using the washer fluid just makes whatever stuff landed on the windshield all smeared and 10x worse. I just clean the the windshield once a week or so when I fill up with gas using the squeegees

    No, but they spray a stream rather than a fan like pattern. I guess they do work fine. The ones on my daily are clogged. That thing is such a pile of shit. Lol

    Thank you sir

    I have these and it takes about 2 minutes to install.

    Make sure you have a small 90 degree pointed pick to adjust the angle of the nozzle otherwise it sprays UNDER the wiper blades.

    I found out... at 45mph on Saline Valley washboards... fail...

    Got the pile back together for a little while at least. Final mounted the spots and aimed them. Went wheeling, was icy as fuck.
