    they weren’t critical to getting it done, got it installed in the end. Just some minor details that added up to make the process prolonged and a bit more frustrating.

    Whoa!! Thanks for finding that. I checked mine - it's actually a 1501...and subject to the recall. The Greenworks page doesn't give much detail but it looks like it is the spray gun that is subject to the recall. I generally have used another spray gun instead of the one provided - although I used the GW one for hours when I power washed our back porch furniture and back porch a few weeks ago.

    I submitted the form for a replacement spray gun.

    It was in there yesterday when I looked at the truck, I figured it would be gone since they washed it before I picked it up but nope, still there today.

    This is from yesterday when I looked at it :eek:

    A buddy from Instagram sent me some old leds he was done with for the headlights. The plug & play style makes it so easy to install. The headlights are so much brighter now! Can’t wait until I get my Alpha Rex lights and add these leds to them.

    Installed a RedArc Liberty trailer brake controller to replace my Prodigy RF controller. Was hunting for a good spot to attach the ground wire behind the kick panel to no avail. Turns out it was staring me in the face as pointed out by @IndyTac (tks).

    One of the first assignments in a business writing class I had in college was to write a complete user instruction guide for a product. I chose an irrigation controller since I was intimately familiar with them. But to the point, a manual/ instructions are an essential part of any product that is anything more than water hose nozzle( which, by the way some actually have an instruction card).

    All I had to go on was a thread from here,
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-led-reverse-pods.540403/
    There is a hole behind the bumper caps but making sure you hit the hole is the tricky part.
    I used the rubber gasket for a a template to cut my hole but if you look at the pictures on that thread I posted where he is holding the light over the hole, that's exactly how I cut it.
    Which you can see where the bolt hole for the light is over the solid part, I did that :( so I couldn't get the nut on that one.
    I put the one nut on then put the bumper caps back on,
    Then drilled a small pilot hole (smaller then the bolt) into the solid part,
    Then I just let bolt self tap into the solid part.
    If I would of moved my cut over just half inch or so, I could of bolted both sides on to the cap before putting the cap back on.
    There's a gap to run wires, I didn't have to drill any holes for wires.
    Take some measurements with pictures of your bumper cap before you take it off, use an pencil or erasable marker to make some marks.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/s2-baja-designs-factory-bumper.539243/
    I priced bumper caps before I did mine just in case I screwed them up lol
    Watch some vids on how to get bumper caps off.

    I can tell you I've lived in Fairmont, WV my entire life and it's never been Penn Auto Toyota since I've been alive. Dan Cava is our dealership. And I was born in 1992.
