morimoto xb hybrids for 2012-2015

 

Sorry it’s standard automotive clear coat used by collision and auto body shops. Not sure of the exact product for they were painted by my friend that works a caliber collision

 

Those stickers are SCHWIFTY

 

OEM with BHLM

 

Mounted my recovery bin on the roof rack

 

I see what you did there...lol

 

Front and rear locked now with 5.29s

 

As soon as I got them in I told my buddy I almost wished I’d gone with SQUANCHY Edition instead, but the intro to that verbiage is a little more messed up lol

 

lol wasnt even trying to make it sound that way

 

Just finishing up the install now. So far so good!

 

Full brake and rotor job, about to finish installing remaining pads on passenger side and a monsoon just dropped on me. Rain and hail. Waiting for it to chill out so I can go finish up my job! Good old driveway mechanic work...

 

Where did you get the lights?

 

This was a hot pain in the ass and quite a bit more time consuming than I anticipated.



But as I was fighting the headliner back in trying to beat the rain and losing I realized I couldn't even hear the raindrops on the roof anymore when it used to sound like a mix between a snare drum and a tin roof.

I hope the dynapad resist heat as good as it claims.

Went for as close to 100% coverage as I could manage for heat resistance.

Black truck in Florida...



When the rain lets up doors and rear wall to follow, floor when I get my rubber "carpet" in.

 

In progress BAMF shock relocation, their HD rear shackle hangers, Bilstein 7100s, longer brake lines, ubolt flip and Superbumps.

And a set of Deaver springs, stage 3 cause I'm heavy.

 

Resists heat you say? *sweats in oklahoman*

 

Yes it's part of my weight loss program...

Wrenching out in 105˚ weather and shed 5lbs of water weight in 2.5 hours!

Seriously beats when it was 118˚ a couple weeks back and I said "oil change can fucking wait, hell nah"

 

Took the kayaks for a ride lol

 

Yeah the Dynamat is for sound deadening, but the Dynaliner is for rejecting sound and heat from outside.

I read a lot of good things about both and decided to give it a try as I have tried the "do it yourself" approach with little success.

Figured it's time to do it right.

Major difference, though I can't speak for heat yet as it was overcast all day.

 

Took a trailer load of mulch up to my parents' house today

 

Drove by 2 young girls, who gave me the "honk your horn" arm pump (?). I obliged and, boy, were they surprised and ecstatic when they heard my 4 horn 1980's vintage Park Avenue setup. (Sorry - no pics)
