I'll stick with my Yota Red,Lol. I made the overhead light red as well as the map lights.
Today we just did some easy going running around and she purred like a kitty the whole time. When I got back I wiped down the inside and sprayed a little new car perfume behind her seats. She likes that, it makes her feel younger even though she's only 5 years old. Mike

I removed and cleaned up my rear license plate mount and painted it with Hammered Paint in a rattle can. I also repanted my ProRunner Brush Guard with the same paint.

What are you using for that?

I want to change the turn signal's blue and paint the bezel but I am having a hard time finding some blue plexi. What others are you changing out?

Lost one of my Hella driving lights today, so I yanked the bulb out of it to look for a replacement.

Ripped out the carpet/pad in the cargo area and rotated all the cargo rings 90 degrees. I left the OEM rubber mat in place. Cool mod by the way.

Got my blue bulb covers in from www.partsexpress.com, they were like $1.70 per bag of 10 each. So I got a bag of each size they had and looks like they will cover most everything. They have several colors! I also got some LED bulbs in from www.autolumination.com they are great!

Hope that helps.

I blew $50 at Walmart for a new receiver Interlock™ ball mount, a 2" Interlock™ Ball, and a set of locking pull pins.
I had all of that stuff already but get this... First I couldn't find my key to my old locking pull pin...no big deal right? I could just cut it off and buy a cheapy $3 cotter pin type... But before doing so i tried to unscrew the ball from the mount (so i could reverse/flip it) but it stripped so bad that it wouldn't come off! So i decided to go to Wallyworld and just replace everything.
BTW, the new Reese "Interlock" mount/ball is pretty slick. Only need one wrench to tighten it down. Now why didn't they think of that 10 years ago?

Later on, i loaded and unloaded a bunch of 16" patio stones that i bought from Lowes.

Never got around to polishing/waxing like i've been wanting to do for the last 2 weeks. Maybe tomorrow.
