Gave it a bath a few days ago. Then painted calipers red and installed new set of front swaybar bushings. No more clackety clack from the front anymore.
While I had it on jack stands, I rotated the rears to the front to see if the speed wobbles would go away. The original 2 fronts have a ton of balance weights on them while the rear two have no more than 4. Speed wobbles are gone.
And last but not least, installed some Ice Caps lug nut covers. Although the lugs are new, they were beginning to look unsightly. The Caps are perfect and a cheap upgrade to hide them nasty looking lugs. Recommend 100%. 20230818_115300.jpg 20230818_115355.jpg 20230822_105947.jpg 20230822_112456.jpg 20230822_112521.jpg 20230822_111247.jpg

Installed the 100% BOLT ON GoRhino Ceros roof rack this week. Super easy install! Time to throw a new light bar on the truck!

Swapped out aftermarket mirror glass that only had heated and blind spot to oem glass on driver and passenger side with heated, blind spot, and auto dim. Programmed with Alfa and all is good. Have the drivers aftermarket glass if anyone needs it, but broke the passenger one taking it out.
Where did you buy the glass for the mirrors?

Originally I had aftermarket glass that had blind spot and heated only. I bought from partsgeek.com. I wanted the auto dim feature back like I had prior to adding blind spot and found a set of oem used glass on eBay that had heat, blind spot and dimming on both sides

I finally did the rainsense wiper upgrade. Found a used sensor for cheap, 2 changes in Alfa and good to go. And it rained the day I did it so I got to try it out. Well worth it in my opinion. I also took a second go at putting my 35x12.50 spare in the stock location and succeeded! I took another member’s advice and trimmed the back of the hitch. I was concerned at first, but only trimmed up to the weld without actually touching it and it gave exactly the space I needed to clear
I need to do this...

Skar speaker box MOD completed! I added an 8 x 8 "scab plate" (3/4 MDF) after cutting a hole in the top of the box to clear the magnet on my pioneer 12" woofer. The shallow mount subs kinda SUK. I had to router into the scab about 1/4" on one side as the mounting surfaces are NOT PARALLEL. Will add pics when I'm done with install. Also made mount plates for the amps, installed ANC bypass and determined mount for line converter (beside ANC) Next up....evaluate cutting the seat back "hooks". After removing the drivers side rear seat it gives you a VERY good view of the hook LENGTH and where to cut them off so they can fold forward; however, after looking at the plastic guides and where you must cut I decided it would be ADDING a potential problem rather than adding a "fix" that I do not really need. To cut the hooks off to allow the seat back to fold forward ALSO killls the plastic insulator (anti-rattle device) in a manor that COULD prevent the seat back from returning to proper position.... COULD (and surely WOULD one night when you cant see crap and must do something) so I opted to leave them alone.

Hopefully it gets built before the strike. It could be a long one. The union has 3 months strike pay in the bank. Mine is scheduled for 3 days before the deadline, but could get caught up in body vendor. Yours will also go to body vendor, all Limiteds do.

Hopefully they work something out and don't go on strike. Fingers crossed!

I doubt it. They had a "practice strike" at the Jeep plant yesterday. They were already out there with their signs, for support, while they are still working.Due to the 25% inflation in the last 3 years, they are looking for 40% over the next four. 10% per year. Stellantis says they will move to Mexico first.

Promotion landed me a work from home job - I hate it to be honest, but you sacrifice for the family that wanted me around more opposed to driving 60k per year with overnights. So I traded in my Limited for a family/circuit track car that I wanted. Out of the first 200 vehicles launch, I got the 1 of 50 color combo I liked best. We still have the 2020 Laramie that my father & I use when needed. Kept the Hellwig for his - sorry. 😆Overall couldn't be happier. Don't have pics of the Patriot blue with camper shell still yet, but I'll have to take one for the profile pic.

When did Honda badge the Civic as an Acura?

I'm jealous. I'd love the new Integra type S. Should actually be slightly faster stock for stock than the civic!
