They shut schools down today for the 1/4” we got. The snow pics were from northeastern Kentucky

I was there in Jan/Feb 2016 and we got 10+ inches. True story.
moderate paint correction for about $100 total using harbor freight DA, 3D HD Speed compound/polish/ wax all in one, and clay bar.

I remember when I was a kid, and we had learned (from american movies of course) that if it was snowing a lot, they would shut the school down.
Well, long story short: It never happened!
Sometimes we had 50-60cm, and in the nine years I attended compulsory school, nothing ever happened that shut the school down....

Where'd you source the kit from, sir?
Replaced the rear hatch handle assembly. It was a little rusty...
Just getting out of diapers...

Bought it (technically 3 weeks ago). 2003 LX 470. Super clean inside and out. 237k on the clock as of last week. Replaced low beam bulbs (i really wish there are an easy plug &play solution to make these brighter). Opened up the steering column and adjusted the extension of the steering wheel (bad telescoping motor). Had the AHC fluid flushed and replaced, a new alignment done, CV boot replaced(will need to do the other one soon).
Replaced the hood support struts
Replaced the dom lights with LED's from Amazon. Plan to replace all interior bulbs with LEDs to match.
Installed VaisTech SL3b-L Bluetooth adapter. I managed to crack both air vents (broke one completely in two, superglued it back together, but will eventually replace both)
Tailgated for the Auburn-Kentucky basketball game
I discovered that rear 12v outlet doesn't work. I also need to find a better solution for that child safety seat tether and the weathertech cargo liner.
I haven't driven her since taking her in to have the alignment done and a recall taken care of a week ago. I broke the only key i have, couldn't find anyone to cut any of the blanks I'd bought online for less than $75 each, and I'm waiting for ACE to order one of their shells/this cut key I bought off ebay to arrive. It's killing me because I love driving this thing!
Anyhow, my next projects include: rear suspension links, backup camera, running board and mudflap delete, LED strip lights to replaced the running board lights, and running down some of the electronic gremlins I've encountered.

It was aHow many's was this? I wanna do mine and spray some fluid film in there.
job, but can get frustrating. Just take pictures of how it’s connected before disassembly. Also, make sure you don’t break any connecting clips taking it apart. Apparently Toyota doesn’t sell them separately. DB
Any guesses as to what I was doing? (PM so I'm not stranded somewhere out in bfe)
Replacing ignition?
Smart PM on your own terms.
There is!
Get HIR bulbs (9011 and 9012) instead of 9005 and 9006.
Very small modification of one tab on each bulb. Done in 20 seconds with a nail-cutter.
I began the Bumper Install (ARB) pretty straightforward so far...
Amazing how little protection the old bumper affords.
Force multiplier removed.

Sadly, this is an LX
Unfortunately the LX uses H1 bulbs in a projector housing, making an upgrade a good bit more complicated. That reminds me I didn't say it was a 2003 LX 470!
HIR will still work in the high beam locations at least. Worth it.
