    If your AuxBeam Lights have any issue. They have a Life Time Warranty. Keep the record of your transaction. If for some reason they fill with moisture or you have another issue contact Auxbeam. Most of the time they will ask for a Picture or Video of the issue and send out a replacement. All you have to do is Destroy the light you had the problem with.

    Yea, I get that, I've just been waiting to hear "AUXBEAM" has fallen off the face of the earth, or another similar story, even being one of the first people on board the Auxbeam train back in the late aughts. It's just the paranoia in me to keep things from getting to the point of failure, instead of allowing them to fail and falling on the mercy of someone else to fix it. It's also why I do a lot of my own home repair before it becomes bigger home repair.

    Did you Buy directly from Auxbeam or did you buy from Amazon or another source? If you bought directly from AuxBeam or One of Their Vendors you shouldn't have an issue with having the problem being resolved.

    I don't have a problem because I undid the fucky QC mine came with by a little due diligence for something I expect to function long term. I think you misunderstood what I typed. We're in agreement. It's nice to have a warranty.

    My dad’s 4.0 plugs went out at 200k and he barely got it to the dealership .The guy just told him to go buy new plugs and that’ll fix it and it did.

    Welcome to TW!
    This morning was cool enough to paint the Alliant Mfg. CAT Four-in-One jack: three sides of the base with old spray paint we'd cleaned out of the ranch shop before the estate sale in 2021. Undercoated with bright aluminum, with a top coat of Farm & Industrial Orange NAPA-Martin Senour. No idea how old these cans are, one has a $1.49 price sticker attached and legible.

    Had the Tacoma tint removed cause it was peeling from the last owner. Plus it was to dark for my taste. Turns out the back had factory tint so had the shop just tint the two front windows 35% ceramic and the windshield ceramic as well. The ceramic tint makes a huge difference on how hot the truck gets sitting in the sun. Truck is currently getting new oem flares painted. Hate the screws I used when I first trimmed the flares. Also having the roof painted cause it had tons of actual rust.
