    I use the Mequair's Clay Kit and it's pretty good. Take the clay out and knead it in a ball, then knead it in a pancake shape. Spray a generous amount of the detailer, then rub the clay in small-medium circles with a little bit of pressure. Then wipe off with a microfiber.

    Reknead or fold the clay over in half to get to a clean side with no debris or black areas, and repeat.

    Picked up a FJ Toyota emblem from a local member and threw it on. I like it for now.

    Added true connectors to all the wires going into my BlueSea instead of just wrapped around the screw, and re-labeled.

    Also bought some LED front turn signals so I don't have that ugly amber reflection in the chrome turn signal housings I have. Still have to wire in the resistors but they will just hyper flash for now. They're not crazy fast, but definitely faster than OEM. I'll post a picture later.

    Do you have any feedback on your cb? Or on your radio that's in the dashboard?

    CB's not hooked up fully. Powered but the coax wire that goes from the antenna to the CB unit stripped out when I was adjusting it so I need to get a new one. But, I have zero motivation or need to get it done so it will probably be pushed down my priority list until a day I'm really bored.

    Could never get it tuned right when I did have it hooked up anyway.

    I have the 75WXST that is just a small power unit, then has a mic that has all the controls. The power unit is hidden under my front cupholders, then I have the mic hookup wire coming out of the side of the console through a little plate with a hole in it. Don't think I have any pics.

    Quick picture of the change between old turn signal bulbs and LED's. I really didn't like the weird amber reflection with the old bulbs so it's nice to have it clear now.

    You don't have one already? How can you live with yourself?
    Seriously though, makes changing the oil go from "easy" to "a two year old can do it". If you got the one with the N after it, it should come with a tube that attaches to the nipple, and you can run it right down into a jug. I use the costco milk jugs. They have nice beefy threaded caps on them that wont pop off like the normal grocery store ones. Just remember though, a milk jug only holds 4 qts, but the oil drains slow so you will have plenty of time to stop the drain and swap to a fresh one.

    When I got the truck, my dad got the service agreement so all "major" service has been through the dealer. All my service is still "free" but when it runs out, obviously I'll start doing my own.

    And yes I got the
    $37 F103N with LC-10 lever clip FN-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack
    F103N with the hose nipple.
