    Installed a dash cam. Gotta have them nowadays - I have them in all my cars. I hardwired it for a clean look, and set up to come on when key is turned.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Same here, have it in both of my vehicles and helped installed into a few friends/family. It's one of those highly recommended mods.

    I’m building a bed for my 2nd gen and have been making progress all week.

    I’m trying to figure out where to put my spare tire, before I design the actual storage part.

    Yea, I’ve had other suggest that as well. It takes up too much space sitting vertically, and I’d have to buy a second spare to be cool. I need as much bed space as I can get.

    Yes, I do agree with your point of view. The internet is a crazy place and most people that will write a review is going to be a bad review and not a good one. Once again, this is just my opinion sir. If I am doing research online, the only thing I have to go off of is the reviews. Like I said, I really do love the look of these, and for the price, I really do hope they are the greatest things since sliced bread. I most likely will get them in the future but I will definitely wait to see the quality and reliability of them first. If you are going to get them, I most certainly will wait with anticipation with how they work out. I do respect a lot of people's opinions on here and you will be one of them. I hope they are everything that they are cracked up to be because I once again, really want them as well. Time will tell.

    Picked this up this weekend for $130 + tax. I am aware of the design flaw on these jacks. Will make life easier @ home.

    I tapped the wires going to the rear view mirror. Removed the sunglass holder to get access.

    I did the cowl intake a few years ago. And I regularly spray repellent on my wires.

    If you do a search on these aluminum jacks from Harbor......to include 1-1/2 T, 2 T, 2-1/2 T, 3T, there is a c clip that can be pushed off when raising an auto. I believe there are a few YouTube videos also. I always use jack stands if I go under using any jack, so it’s just something to keep an eye on. I went to get a 2 T that they said were in stock, but were out of, so the manager gave me the 2-1/2 T @ a discount and gave my another discount for this 4 day sale they got going on.

    I also did this about 2 years ago to help keep them from getting inside. I wasn’t aware of the engine air intake being a problem though? I think my neighbors cat is helping the neighborhood. My other neighbors domestic bunny likes to be under my truck. If it was a jackrabbit, I’d shoot it cause of all the damage they do.
