See if you can find EST wire or oe of otheres to tap into on dash for cel light. I usually put them to handbrake wire lol. If got aldl connected up add ann earthed switched in glovebox so you can put it into diagnostic mode to quickly check for fault codes. Keep at it enjoying the small details.

The best way to set up the Power/Economy switch is as follows. 1) Turn switch position to "Power" 2) Hide switch in glovebox. 😂 But seriously, congrats on having HDT recognise your work. It’s well deserved!

Pull those screws out, they will continue to break the bog with flexing. The lower lip should be bonded to the upper bumper with body adhesive with a screw drilled into the return edge inside the guard. Oh, and some brand new taillights and centre garnish would make a big difference to the back of it.

Hey, i'm from Trinidad and Tobago, here in the caribbean when rain is falling, the humidity is very low, when it stops raining, the humidity rises again, brake fluid is hygroscopic, thus i would recommend testing your brake fluid with one of those pen type meters that indicates if the brake fluid is saturated with water...it has a green, orange and red led...best to always have brake fluid measuring in green range at all times, just having the master cylinder cover off, the fluid is absorbing moisture from the air...many a time i have had brake fade and even fluid in the calipers boiling over with my vh commodore

Much easier to just go buy cheap Strut/ bump stop / boot , top mounts, you can pay $250 for a decent Strut or $400 for darn good 1 , or you can get one from ebay new for $120 , Personally i always pay around $265 /$310 for very nice strut & Polyurethane Top mounts . Ps : always replace boot ^ definitely replace bump stop.
