Parts left from front bumper, skid plate, and suspension installation
Is any of this worth keeping or trying to sell?
Original front skid thing
a) brace for bumper part (I think); b) original UCA
Original front skid
Original coil overs and rear shocks
a) brace for bumper or running board; b)...
Rock Slider Install
I took off my running boards the first week after getting the GX (April 2021) and eventually ordered rock sliders during a Thanksgiving week GX shopping spree (Nov 2021). I went with RSG angled rock sliders with kickout based on appearance, price, and my fondness of the...
Rusty bolt replacement update
My GX seems too new to have rusty and corroded bolts in plain sight. I noticed the first batch when I installed the dash/rear camera (earlier post). To start, I ordered:
SCREW, HEX LOBULAR 9090148002
BACK DOOR STAY; BACK WINDOW STAY. 6896120140
I...
Follow up question -- it's great that I caught this and it's being taken care of while under warranty, but should I be concerned at all about the components that soaked in the coolant as seen in the photos in the original post? If the shop doesn't clean it up, should get under there and rinse...
Update on leak status:
By end of day yesterday, the coolant reservoir had ~1/2'' of fluid left, well below the L line.
I did what @Bang Bang recommended. I took it to dealership early this morning, they reported the water pump is leaking. They should be able to replace it by end of day. They...
I am going through the steps of installing the CBI Covert Bumper (cut went well), but I see pink fluid leak after I took off the factory skid plate. I looked up and found the following. Still under CPO "warranty". Any guidance? Thanks!

Agreed, @r2m
Does anyone have insight on the question if contact or pressure between the spare tire and the sway bar is a bad idea or may cause latent damage elsewhere under certain conditions? I'm not going to attempt to squeeze anything until I understand this, though searches don't reveal...
I think I could stuff it in if I were to deflate it more - I had to deflate down to 20 psi to get it out after the shop cranked it in. However, I didn’t know if touching or putting pressure on sway bar was a good idea - experts in the room? I’m fine with the TPMS warning if that’s the only...
Tire/Wheel update
During the week of Thanksgiving I ordered a bunch of stuff that I have been researching and benefited from modest discounts.
RSG rock sliders (w/ kickout, angled),
CBI covert bumper, front and rear skid plates – the freight cost seemed absurd but calling in helped reduce...
My wireless CarPlay connection has been ~95+% reliable over the last ~four months! The only circumstance I have an issue (that I've been able to sort of correlate) is when I don't connect for a ~week or longer, then it takes a while to connect. Then it gets really confused when I try to connect...
VLINE2 install update
I followed the videos online and the installation went smoothly, so nothing much to report. The only detail I deviated from the normal installation was to get a USB extension for the occasions I may want to use the wired CarPlay option – at the time I didn’t know how...
