    Isn't it fun when a couple hour project turns into an entire day one. Just installing unibody connectors on my car and had to get new bolts and cut shit off and blah blah. SO something that should only be a few hours became days. This literally happens every damn time

    Exactly. At least this happened in the beginning of the install, and not in the middle, with half the bed cover on and parts and pieces all over the garage. Damn Murphy.

    Looks good. You should get some @MESO trim plates for the headlights. I find they suit the front end much nicer. And easy install. Didn’t drop my bumper.

    I was in no hurry, it took me 2 - 2 1/2hrs. Really it's a pretty easy install.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    Time for a Meso upgrade.

    I'm going to be replacing my spark plugs, belt, and some other general maintenance stuff at 107k miles. I'm starting to get the "rumble strip" feeling when I let off and then slowly accelerate. I'm assuming that it's the common torque converter problem across the automatic automobile world. Out of curiosity, from someone who has had the trans drained and filled with a filter change. How much did it cost you? I'll post pictures of my plugs tomorrow to make this viable for the thread. Lol, not exactly worth making a thread for this.

    Finished the "OEM" usb-c plug project today. This version turned out a bit too sloppy to install so I will try again in a few weeks with what was learned/suggested during this attempt.

    The black glue stick matches both the plastics pretty well and results in a rock solid plug, so that's great.

    Oh man…
    Well, what was supposed to be tomorrow is today! And I got one of them that has the TRD Off Road bed stickers on it. Weird, but they won’t be on there long...

    Anything new added that's grounded to the dashboard frame? I had a similar issue after adding a relay for some lights I added under the tube steps. Was in a hurry and didn't run the ground to the ground point behind the kick panel, but to the frame of the dashboard. Was under there re-doing it the next day.

    What did that cost, also in the Columbus area. Better than undercoating?

    Did my ECGS bushing install. Was a bit of a pain. Had to break out the BFH to remove the CV and had to phone a friend for help to re-install it. Only smashed one finger!
