I'm way ahead of ya! .............just can't seem to finish them, with all that's going on. hahaha... BUT, soon... got my last package from superbrightleds.com that I'll need for now... So my rear lighting and .50" panels and fully insulated and sound deadened cargo area will be coming to fruition/completion, SOON, I hope. (got some of it done already... most actually... and got some lights in )

Best wishes on the projects.

Right on with the snow wheelin! Smart idea not going all the way in by yourself. I've done that few times, gets kind of lonely waiting for three hours while your buddy comes and finds you. At least the snow wasn't incredibly deep

Alright time for smog on the 4runner and the Downey headers didn't pass inspection cause there's no carb number in it! (Old school version;I think) so now my truck has the Downey. O yea, runner passed with flying colors! Haha

The runner came with the headers and it has a sticker on the fire wall but California law is, it has to have it on the product so before I even smog I ask if ill pass and he says no. So I just swap it with the truck and now too lazy to swap it back. Maybe gona swap it next June when the truck needs smog haha hopefully it's not gona be a smog test only
