I noticed that Eagle Eye on wifey's car--near the rear tire.

Yea hers is fully hooked up with leds inside and out. Besides hid lows and fogs. They didn’t make clear markers for her car so I improvised lol. She’s ready to trade it in, looking at mid-sized suvs...mainly the telluride or the palisade.
It’s been a hood car tho, but is a car and a little small. Time to upgrade

2nd battery tray came in today . Install tonight, right now on my way to the zoo with a mild 61 degree sunny day.

So I was told I need an isolator. Not sure which one works best. Never installed one before.

Well that turned into a 2 hour project


So the new tray didn’t come with a holder thingy. Here’s the stock one from the original battery on the drivers side
Also the brace won’t be going back on

So I ordered one and made a ghetto version till the new one come in the mail.


Also gotta wait till Monday to get terminals and have a buddy crimp them.

Ordered a bunch of plastic rivets. I was running low and hated the mismatched ones.

got some blue brushed aluminum vinyl wrap for the bowtie

cleaning the garage and going though stuff and found one of these old school bulbs.

Dave, I know theres an auto parts store around. They have the battery hold down with bolt on those help racks. Just sayin if you want to cancel your order and pick one up now, prolly cheaper too

Spring time cleaning. After this I will invest in some floor liners. Realizing they’re worth their weight in gold
Wish shipping wasn’t so bad or else I’d get some dark grey carpet

I forgot about the lovely murder stains in the back . but for the most part everything came out pretty clean. Don’t forget the door carpet, why manufactures thought that was a good idea i have no clue.

Got an appointment with the dent dude. (Actual business name is Dent Dude lol) He wanted $300 to do some big dings I had then said he would just do the whole truck for $500. Figure it’s fair given it will put value back into the truck and he does amazing work from what everyone says, highly recommended. Worth it


All from previous owner. . Super noticeable since the rest of the exterior is near flawless (by Alaska standards lol)
