Friday’s project included three new items and one “swing and a miss”.
The mod that didn’t work out was the new ScanGauge 3. While it is feature packed, I found more negatives than positives, so it went back. Among the negatives; no auto display dimming, only digital gauges, poor mounting options.
The stuff that worked out well:
- WeatherTech hood protector / bug deflector
- WeatherTech side window deflectors
- TRD Pro style front skid plate. This one is the version for KDSS, from CarHomeTrim.
All the WeatherTech parts went on quick and easy - and the quality is evident. I’m pleased.
The skid is also much nicer than expected, being thick, sturdy, and apparently well made. It did require I remove the plastic shield that goes between the stock front skid and bumper. I plan to trim that piece and reinstall later. I like that this skid has an access panel, eliminating the need to remove the full skid for oil changes.
Here are some updated photos, taken today.
