    Ordered a new Magnetic Clutch Relay. Hopefully that'll fix my intermittent flashing A/C light. Kinda bummed on a 2014 with less than 50k miles anything, even small, is wrong with my A/C.

    I was changing out my driver's side CV and also have a 30mph vibration so I figured I start knocking off the possibilities and replacing the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. First time doing this much work on a car (thankfully had some experienced help with more tools than me), and had an awesome learning experience. Still have the vibration crossing over 30mph post the bushing install, so it looks like the driveshaft will have a small rehab, u-joints and carrier bearing are next on the list. Now all I want to do is start buying tools. I'M HOOOKED! (sorry wifey) Impact gun and torque wrench first to buy. I'd like to knock out the u-joints and carrier bearing by myself without over-staying my welcome at my more experienced friend's driveway on Saturday mornings...

    If you're going to get into it, also realize there are steps you can take prior to doing any wrenching that can help eliminate culprits. The ECGS bushing is one of those things but good on you for getting your hands dirty.

    absolutely understand ruling things out due to "is this doing that? is that doing this? etc.", just figured since I was in there already and upon reading everything I could that it's something to go ahead and think about doing for a fairly cheap part.

    I made a post about these a while ago, and no one could definitively say what they were for. The one that made the most sense to me was deflecting air before it hit the wheel/suspension. But really, who knows. I took them off, and nothing has fallen apart yet.

    Agreed. I always thought they were some sort of air dam for aerodynamics, like most Chevys and the newer Tacos have, but that was just my guess.

    That was my thought as well, especially now that the 3rd gen sports have a more "refined" version. We may be on to something.

    Got a set of new Mobtown bed bar mounts! The logo cutout is super clean; I test mounted them with my Tyger tonneau cover and it fits perfectly. Time to get some tamper resistant nuts for the RTT before completely mounting everything (some douchebag broke into our apt complex garage so not really trying to risk him going for a round 2).

    Defenders or AT tires? Do they ride good? I was thinking about going up from 65 to 70.
