    Tim's the man! Sean and Tim both helped me out March right before I suddenly had to move for work (again). Awesome guys, and a huge help in the thoroughness of their videos. But I agree.. you end up with a list of maintenance you didn't realize you should consider. haha! I definitely did...

    Valve cover gasket leaking

    My seal is on my "eventually I'll get to it this year" list... But in the mean time I took a ratchet extension and tighten them down by hand so they they were snug. A few were loose.

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    In case you were curious.. these are with the "12V 48 LED panel" ebay LEDs. Shipped from China. one cab, and one cargo area. I also replaced the map lights - but those aren't turned on in this photo. These two 48 LED panels were $3.66, shipped. haha! The map lights are 12 LED if you're curious...

    LEDs... did you go with the LED panels for the passenger/cargo? If not I would totally recommend spending the 6 bucks for the huge panels on eBay and installing those. They're bright AF. haha

    Shop recommendations for LA
