All seasons are decent, but actual snow tires make a world of difference. A few years back, on my way down the mountain from the ski hill, I was being followed by an SUV running all seasons. On a hairpin, he matched my speed, which was a serious mistake on his part. He slid across two lanes...
I really wish I could find something lower than 373 for the rear end... as soon as the power starts to climb, the lower gears become completely useless, even with spectacularly good tires.
I'm planning to hold off on interior shots until I'm closer to being finished. I've got new black carpet on the way, and I need to figure out how I'm actually going to run the dash soon - lots of options there.
The interior is mostly shadow grey. There is a custom black headliner, and the...
The later model is definitely easier to install. However, we're talking about minutes here, at most. Takes me ~15 minutes for the tough one, ~10 minutes for the easy one.
I've heard that quite a few folks building explosives tend to get blown up this way. They like garage door openers, car alarm remotes, anything that allows them remote control... unfortunately for the stupid ones, anti-terrorist forces like to build big random broadcast boxes that trigger these...
It's a pretty simple process.
Admit what you've done.
Accept responsibility for it.
Make what reparations you can.
Figure out how to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
If you've hurt someone, this may not 'fix' things with them - you may well have done something that cannot be...
I rewired mine without the diodes, so that the switch on the right controls both lights. I rewired the switch on the left to control aux power to an external device - GPS, Camera, etc. I also picked up a rechargeable LED flashlight that sits in the cig. lighter socket in case I need light...
It's more involved that you think.
The parts are easy to get. Expensive, but easy to find. The only real exception to this is the damn housings - they are available just about everywhere in the USA, but they've been banned in Canada, so I had to source them off fleabay, and most of the guys...
No, they are just charging you full MSRP. You can get them from Vancouver Toyota in Vancouver, WA, or Champion out of Texas for the discount price. There's another dealer that sells and ships, too, but I don't recall the name / location.
QFT. I've been working on this kit for well over a year so far, and I'm still not certain it's going to fit. If I were to charge someone else for the labor alone, I'd be well over $1000 by now. Then add in another $1200 for parts, and at least a couple hundred for tools...
I actually...
I'd be annoyed because I've already bought all the parts and put a lot of work into fabbing my kit. I'd FAR rather have just paid someone to build me one that I can plug in and forget.
