Thank you! I'm pretty sure I found my issue. One of the pins on the internal transmission connector has corroded and is stuck in the female side of the plug. I ordered the internal part from the dealer and I'm going to try and repair the vehicle side. The guy on this post got his female...

This thing looks amazing

Remove the rear seats, cargo mats, and fog lights. Just some things I thought of

This was really helpful, thank you!

Greasing the drive train solved every "jolt" issue I had

Mine looks far worse and I did what most others are saying. Rust converter and then frame paint

This thread has been so helpful, thank you

I love the dual battery setup, very clean
