    Brake Line Replacement

    I'd like to know as well. I live in VA but bought my '02 Limited from Cincinnati. Naturally, my undercarriage has seen better days.

    How 'bout that VA weather?! HA! Looking good out there! At least we finally got some sort of winter storm that delivered actual snow. Most of the time it's 0" to 47" of snow expected to hit, followed by a dusting, shut down schools, and lackluster social media pics. . . like these :rain:

    Creating a Faux-Retro Service Cart

    Great job! Very clever for its purpose! I don't exactly have a smooth walkway to and from my T4R, so I'd have to throw some bigger casters on from Harbor Freight or Amazon. I'd like to hear how it holds up over a few projects' time. Love how the old school emblem came out with the cart!

    My Budget Retrofit

    Looking good. I took the stock paint approach, as well. It'll separate you from the pack for sure. Are you going to search for true stock paint color (code from the sticker), or just find dark red and call it a day? I think I spent $85 on the project headlight assemblies, $60 for the ballasts...

    backup cameras

    I haven't had experience with the "wireless" transmitters, but I do know they'd be an option. I did mine the old fashioned way through the upper lift gate rubber tubing. Using the Dawn dish soap trick REALLY helps slide things through. It doesn't take long at all. Wired all the way to my head...

    Wreck caused "Total Loss" - Insurance advice needed please!

    Trik444 That SUUUUUCKS!!! It sounds like their adjuster isn't practicing the company's due diligence. I'm not familiar with their offer/counteroffer procedures, but it sounds like what you've found alone is enough to reproach their initial offer. If you've got an attorney friend, you might want...

    Budget Build Retrofits

    I feel you when it comes to having legit fog lights. I love the light bar's intensity! That being said, now knowing they have switchable dual white / amber setting light bars, I immediately want to swap out. Of course, the cheapest 22" one that will swap right in place of the current setup is...

    Budget Build Retrofits

    So far my side throw isn't too shabby. There's always room for improvement, of course. I'm trying to keep my expectations reasonable, given I took the "Harbor Freight approach" vs. the majority's "Lowe's/Home Depot approach." How long did you rock these cheapo projectors, before tossing...

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm a big proponent of "you get what you pay for." However, for the bang for your buck has such a decent swing. Clearly, I've only had these things on the truck for 48 hours, so I cannot attest to their durability on the road. I'll definitely get on the other thread for sure...

    ScanGauge II MPG Estimation

    I regularly can swing 250-265 miles per tank mainly city travel. I've seen 300 miles doing all highway road trips. I changed out the air filter, the fuel filter, made sure the tire pressure was on point, and very little change in mpg improvement. I tend to bite my tongue when I see newer...

    I scuffed up the plastic plate while drilling. User error. [emoji58]

    Thanks boss! Not too shabby for my very first go at this. As for the paint, I did quite a bit of hunting and narrowed it down to a seller on eBay. $75 for a quart. The first quart I ordered broke due to FedEx's mishandling. The seller shipped out another quart immediately. I've used maybe...

    Satoshi Grille & Retrofit Projector Finally got around to getting into these two mods. The retrofit is my first go at this sort of thing, so I opted the budget route ($100 in parts from Amazon) in case I butchered the whole thing. I posted most of it up in my albums. Splurged on KF9...
