    Mechanic seems to think mine is just valve cover gaskets. It wasn't nearly the amount of oil yours is though. Mine was just a few drops on the cv boot and under the drivers side gasket.. None on the ground and definitely nothing I would consider as "spraying". Fixing it as we speak, so we'll see how it works out. Best of luck to you, brother.

    Oh right on. I'm dropping mine off in a few minutes as well. It's a drivetrain specialist shop so I'm going to have them look at my U-joints and carrier bearing while they have it. I need to get those buttoned up before ordering my lift.

    Realized what was causing my seatbelt to catch on the lumbar adjustment switch on the side of my seat...

    It's been going on for the last week or so...apparently one of the tabs that keeps the switch bezel locked in place in the side of the seat has broken off. Thinking of wrapping it with duct tape and jamming it back in there to see if that holds it.

    Wrapped the entire part that goes into the seat and put it back in and it definitely clicked back into place...that duct tape trick might just work ;)

    3" rough country lift. Blue interior lights courtesy of jumper led. Led tail lights avid front and rear bumper guard with 4 Hellas on front. Borla dual exhaust blue led reverse lights color matched satoshi grille
    That's a 100% difference looks good

    Yesterday I revamped my stock bumper to bring back the color. Used a heat gun.
    -Installed tinted front signals
    -Did the blinker relocation mod
    -Did the rear diff breather mod
    -Put front end back together with all lights after BHLM and reassembled retrofit.

    Started with some Ebay headlights and mini morimoto kit from TRS. Well when I sealed up the ebay lights and projectors the first time I didn't black everything out like I had mentioned...dumb mistake.

    Started taking it apart again to black everything out and the headlight casing literally started to crumble. After some choice words I took my factory ones apart, painted them and retroed those. I haven't adjusted the beam yet but just looking at it briefly it's already pretty close to spot on.

    This is my second retro, which was extremely simple compared to my first (on a Suzuki GSXR where I put two projectors in)
