    Thanks . So, it means that I can seal all the hoses I removed from the canister, with no issue ??
    It would be better, if it works
    Did you eliminate your canister for a long time ?

    I would recommend sealing all the lines. You will have a check engine light because the evap canister is removed, but no drivability side effects. I removed my evap canister a year or so ago.

    An easy way to seal the lines is to install the old canister. Even if it’s bad, it should seal. I removed my canister when I removed my gas tank and lots of other stuff, and wasn’t concerned about a check engine light.

    Regular headlights are chrome inside, I pulled my old ones apart and painted the chrome bits black. The new pro headlights have "black chrome" that looks similar

    I'm a cheap basterd who thinks I can figure out a cheap way to do everything. It generally doesn't work out but this time I think it has. Cheap Amazon rock lights attached to mounts intended for boat steps, but they'll work and I like the way they look (they were like $6 each instead of $30+ each for the sweet scene pods from uptop). Plus if I decide to cough up the change to use the scene pods I didn't alter any part of the rack other than the intended knock out plates. The lights are bluetooth controlled and I can select the color (I really like that I can switch to red lights to maintain night vision). Now, bring on the "you get what you pay for" critique.

    Front differential fluid change and swapped stock drain/fill plugs for Lexus plugs. Why Toyota, why? Also rotated tires, greased driveshaft u-joints and checked out the general crustiness of my undercarriage. Will get transfer case and rear differential fluids done this weekend.

    The leads they had soldered on gave a little wiggle room and the new speakers are in roughly the same spot as the old so I just spliced those via the light/glasses trim hole.
