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...

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.
