Reverse light upgrade, was previously using a BD rocklight that was woefully inadequate for that particular task.

One last mod for the day: windshield washer fluid reservoir relocation!

This one has been on the list for a while. Real easy mod. Used the Dorman coolant tank and parts (except for the bracket) mentioned here.

I already deleted the rear wiper. Went ahead and left that pump aside and tucked away its hose.

Only tweak I made was to extend the harness for the washer pump. Needed a little more slack than I could get by unclipping the harness.

Ditched the sensor because I can see the fluid level.

Ignore the extra rivnuts from my poor measuring.

how long did this install take you? ive got the same mount waiting to go on but trying to decide if i can knock it out in the parking garage or take it to the parents place with more space and time.
About an hour and a half, two hours, not bad at all. Looks worse than it really is, the install instructions that came with it are good
 
I did this on our old Subaru Outback. It lasted around 18 months before it started to get cloudy again. Hopefully it lasts a bit better on the Lexus headlights :).

Gotta finish them off with a couple layers of clear coat to properly protect them from getting cloudy again. Past vehicles ive used a cheap spray can but for the GX i paid our paint guy at work $40 to wet sand and clear them.

My steering wheel was in pretty rough shape so I refinished it today. Didn’t turn out perfect but much better than it was. Used SEM color coat, Monterrey color. It’s a pretty close match but not exact.

One thing to note is the steering column splines aren’t keyed so you need to mark the alignment before taking the steering wheel off.
 
Spring is here and got some cleaning done, finally!

Got it washed, clay barred, removed all the water spot etching (I think this car used to be parked next to a sprinkler system), polished, and finally graphene ceramic coated, all while mostly in the garage. It’s in much better shape now and shining!

Also got the grease gun out and filled up the upper control arm’s bushings. Add on the usual spray dry line to the uniball, no more squeaks!

CVs had to be replaced recently. Radiator too. Just down to a fresh only change next.

Fully ready for some quality off road mudding shenanigans now.

That looks amazing! I’ll have to try the clay maybe that’s the difference
