What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

looking at these would be curious what you had before and what it did to mileage :)

look awesome though :)

I switched from standard load goodyear duratracs 265/70/17.

I wanted something more durable than a 2 ply tire and bigger than the factory size. The good years only had 10k on them but didn't cost me anything. I negotiated them into my price from the dealership. Didn't cost me a thing.

I will let you know how mileage does once I have a few tanks in.
 
plasti dipped the interior trim, they scratched too easily and plus i like the look of black interior. The shifter trim is matte black and other was matte black with the pearlizer. btw for the navigation portion, does anyone know how i can take of the around the navi and the side pieces that go down??
nice job. looks super.
 
I gotta get this done.... I am routing it to the engine bay though. I have smelt diff fluid and that ain't something I want in my cabin lol

You can save a bunch of time and still get it to the same height if you route it up along the gas tank filler neck and end it right behind the gas cap. You only need about 6' of hose and there's no chance of smell in the cabin.

I have mine located in the bottle jack compartment, drove from BR, LA to Boca, FL ...checked (on purpose) No diff smell, at all.
Have almost 30,000 mi since installed.... still nothing.

I was referring more in the case of overflow not everyday driving fumes. its not a pretty sight when a diff overflows. A non issue Im sure f you do the work yourself and measure correctly..... but there is always a chance
 
Finally somewhat thoroughly washed it from a run 3 weeks ago.

The wife has done this 3 times to her ML350. I trimmed the excess metal on the bracket after the 1st time which made the 2nd and 3rd time less of a repair.

That's a great idea! I heard there is some way to adjust the sensitivity of the garage door as well so that it takes less resistance to send it back up if it hits something.

Really sucked having to spend close to 600 for a repainting with less than 1600 miles!!!! There went my new tires :Cry:

Finally got my Viair 444C "mounted".
Still have some work to-do with the way its mounted (reinforced brackets etc).. will attempt to get it all wired in while at work this weekend.
I am searching for a 40PSI Pressure Switch, my goal is to just hook up to tire.. and have the pressure switch shut off when it hits the PSI. Then I just move to the next tire... as soon as i make the connection, the comp should kick back on.

Did you do a write on the install? I was looking into getting the compressor but wasnt sure about how to mount it...looks like its a good fit!!
