Installed new to me headlights... it looks nice being able to see in the dark now....
and the old headlights are broken... they sheared at the plastic... I emailed the company and depending on how the situation is handled, might praise/scream them...

Got my truck back from the shop yesterday and found my wheel hub had gone bad on my truck. That, an oil change and some other small stuff later.... $400 out of my pocket

Last week, I detailed the entire interior. Looks amazing now.

Today, I installed my new blue LED dome light to replace the other one I had in there. This one is a 9 LED circuit board. Super bright, really makes the interior glow a cool blue color. I also changed the oil - decided to switch to Mobil 1 full synthetic. It might be in my head, but the truck seems to idle smoother. I also restored my buddy's headlights on his Ford Focus.

Default Highway vibration and tuneup

No idea, i just know it doesnt feel safe.
I have the same issue at highway speeds over 60MPH. Still no idea what to fix. It all seems tight. Needs a minor alignment adj, which is my first step I guess.

I completed a tune-up the other day. The infamous plug 3 on the drivers side was no big deal (went in through the wheel well with a 9" extension and a jointed adapter) I did strip the end of #2 on the other side and had to tap it. Fortunately the threads straightened out and didn't need a helicoil.

Replaced the brake line I put on in February in the pouring rain.
