Have learned to fix my own! I have had way, way to many. These are just a few

I too have a chip that looks like a bug smudge...?

I missed an exit today after being distracted by accidentally turning on the max front defrost button and getting blasted with heat instead of lowering the temperature as intended. Fed up with the total lack of tactile features on the HVAC panel, I added these 3M rubber bumpers to the cold side of the temp adjustment rocker and the driver side seat heater control. Just ran for burgers and confirmed I can operate these features and others without looking. They look more subtle in real life than in this picture. Hopefully this will keep me less distracted and safer.

Did the same to my cruise control buttons. I cut small notches on the middle buttons. Now i know where the middle ones are without looking. Buttons are hard to do on the dash. I always have to use the infotainment screen.

Installed this pair of DD sports today, but in wanting to keep the M2M grille, and wanting the lights to sit flush with the bumper, this called for mods to both the brackets and the grill without any holes drilled in the bumper. Really pleased with the way they worked out.

Yeah, the first pic if you look close you can see a small crack that was left from the chip, the other 2 together, where my first fixes. Still cant get that bug look gone. But the cracks are gone! The last pic was a doozy! Big huge started crack, at my skill level, that was the best i could do. All of them still look better than cracks that run across the front or a big giant star in the corner

Hauled 36 boxes of laminate flooring from Menards to my daughter's house.

Gotta admit, the jeep next door is pretty badass!

It would look better with a lift.

A couple of little things.

Installed a Mountains 2 Metal lower grill insert. Took all of 5 minutes. I did the Putco on my '19, which was WAY more involved. Supposed to not interfere with ACC. Have not driven it yet.

Installed the "missing" middle bed tie downs and added a box for recovery gear.

Got my MBRP dual rear-exit exhaust installed.

Looks good I had their cat back on my 2013 Fosus ST and was very happy with the sound and price. Enjoy!

I like the grill. Looks Clean! Report back if you don't mind after you drive it. I've been contemplating getting one for mine but don't want to interfere with the ACC.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had the M2M insert since April and have had no issues with the ACC.

Along with a break in the rain, the weather finally cooled down enough to make working in the garage bearable….so I was able to install my CAI this afternoon. With the help of YouTube, it was a pretty straightforward and easy installation…even for a beginner like me.

It’ll be a while before the Roush tune is available for my ‘21, but I’m hoping a few more packages arrive this week. I’m still waiting on a set of Alpharex Novas, a RETRAX cover and a smoked 3rd brake/bed light to show up.
