    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Need more info. Is it in the steering wheel? Feel like from the back?

    Could be carrier bearing, warped brakes, wheel bearing..

    Need 20 people with 425ish bucks plus shipping..that's not easy to get that many people with that kind of money.

    And I think wanted 40 people, not 20...

    Defineitly a high number which is unlikely to be met.

    Glad I got one when I could

    Dipped chrome bumper and grill this morning. Two cans and two hours later, I feel like the back bumper will have to wait until next weekend. Not amazing, but also not horrible, and she's survived 13 years without an ARB bumper so this should hold her over until I decide to pull the trigger.

    I think it is 2.4 per slot in those. That is tablet and big phone charging speed. I installed one like it a couple years ago in the countertop of my tent trailer.

    I replaced the headlights, corner lights (with black instead of chrome trim), and "fog lights", all with OEM replacement housings. I also replaced the headlight bulbs with Sylvania ZXE (huge difference, and not too much blue hue either), sprayed the grill assembly black, tinted the front 2 windows to 20% to match the rears, debadged the tailgate, and cut & installed a makeshift bedliner made from the material you'd see in a weightroom - about 1.5'' think rubber mat, porous on the bottom, sealed on the top - "scrap" from a job.. :yes: I want to have a spray liner by winter, so I'm not too worried about it getting moldy, especially with it being summer and HOT. It's mainly there so that my dog can ride in the back comfortably - much grippier than the stock liner. Not quite as grippy as a spray-in though. Needless to say, it was a good weekend! Now for a good wash, then Line-X'ing the bed, fenders, front & rear bumpers, rain guards, and side mirrors. Not sure if that might lead the rain guards to crack, but I figure its worth a shot.

    Also, anybody have experience with colored bed liner? How hard/easy is it to keep clean? I'm considering spraying my wheels with silver since if they're too far gone to clean.

    The lights were worse than they look in the first photo, which was taken before any of this.
