Upgraded my low-beams from 9005 to 9012 Silvania Silverstar Ultra.

New bulb is on the passenger side, old still on driver side. Looks a little brighter.

Right side is opposite passenger side (new 9012 bulb). Definitely brighter and cleaner cutoff.

Got a new sub box, amp and speakers installed in my 2006 LX. Went with Focal Access 165AS3 3-ways in the front doors and Focal 165AC coaxials in the rear doors. Amp is a 5-channel Polk Audio PA D5000.5 and the sub is a 12" Gladen Zero 12 Pro.

Installation and custom fabrication was done by Joe Loschke at Absolutely Creative Customs in Boulder, CO. The subwoofer enclosure has a molded matte black steel grille and is wrapped in grey vinyl to match the rest of the interior as closely as possible. I think Joe's work speaks for itself.

I've been running a PX6 Android head unit for a few months (as documented in a few IH8MUD threads), so this pretty much completes the system, at least for now.

275/70/18 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx to replace the same tires I got 60K miles on.
 
Replaced my idler pulley. Was spinning freely before...



... and after... much tighter.

Oooh - like your choice of speakers!
 
After several weeks with dealing with the DRL... Flickering LED headlight issue. I had time this morning to install this relay-anti flicker harness with my heated, military Truck-Lite LEDs.

DRL works properly---- lights on properly ---- low/highs properly.

You have to cut the input harness plug and OEM factory plug off the DS input and butt connect the two.

It works perfect............. no more cock eye and all is good with the Military TruckLite LEDs I bought.

20$ harness I used is here:



Thought I'd share!

This came in this afternoon while me and a friend were shopping for an NA V8 Raptor at California.

Will put this on when I get the new tires installed to get super ready for outlets parking crawling.
 
Replaced power steering fluid reservoir and flushed the system. Was an easy job even for me thanks to instructions here. Need a smaller supplemental hose clamp for the return to try to stop weeping at hoses so ordered that.

Care to share the part number, source and price?

For the larger return hose I used one of the small McMaster Carr clamps I had for the CVs. I don't think it is optimal though. I ordered a box with a variety of sizes and will post up here when I figure out the ones that fit best.

Should have been more clear in my request. Could you kindly share the part number, source and price for the reservoir itself?

I am an idiot--sorry. I got the reservoir from @CloudCity's amazon store front. Here
