    Bolt on battery terminal was nasty on FRS. Had to use a drill to remove crud for a new bolt to pass. New bolt with yellow zinc coating and a few washers to shim it just right.

    Nah.
    I went straight to vice grips and breaker bar. Honestly surprised it didn't shear in half or torque the battery post or some other damage. Bolt was definitely not salvageable when I was done.

    I could still throw in some RC cola for you though. For science.

    Rifle box has good fishing rod capacity. Got 4 rods plus reels with room to spare. All safe from swinging feet of children.

    As I gazed lovingly at my recent delivery from Black Rifle Coffee and wondered why it shipped from Mt Juliet TN...

    I did a new mod. LOL.

    Painted the OEM chrome tip with some caliper paint left over from FRS fun. Makes rest of truck look really dirty.

    Since the Baja Designs fog light on 4Runner are way too bright for street use, I got some oem LED fogs. Was going to put yellow laminx but they look so good in stock black.

    The BD lights will either go on roof rack or ditch lights.

    I think I’m about to order some of the diode dynamics ss3 pros to run, they’re apparently brighter than the bd but have a super clean cut off.

    There are BD Squadron SAE now that weren't available in 2018 when i got the others. Would have liked those now.

    But I got these OEM for $112 shipped versus $300 for BD.
    OEM is very narrow vertically but throws light really wide. Black bezel looks nice too.

    Productive garage time today.
    Had to replace clutch hose on FRS. Took forever to bleed it for some reason. Seems to work ok now and isn't leaking brake fluid like old hose was.

    Put a muffler back on FRS too while I was at it. Too quiet now but not willing to put $$ into new parts. Prefer sound of open pipe except it droned on hwy.

    Was going to do dif breather relocate on 4R but decided I don't spend enough time in deep water to worry.

    Got the front end all back together. Can't even tell i hit that tree.
    Added extra fuse panel, switches, and lights too since haven't been driving anywhere and could take my time on it.
    Ditch lights on order.
