Speaking of mjjc foam cannons... ?


Pssst @subquark
This is really bad for me ... =p

As I daydream of next summer's warmer days, I'll be terribly tempted to order a new one. It'll satisfy my lack of shopping impulse control and desire for warm afternoons! =)

Received my AnzoUSA LED headlights. Had two minor surgeries last Friday and doing 4-6 weeks healing so won’t be a DIY project for me. Called my local custom 4x4 shop they said they’d do the install for 1.5 hrs of labor charges.

There is no way they can do it in 1.5 hours so they will be eating some labor it will take about 4-5 hours and that is with previous research on how to get it apart without breaking tabs it is not quick and easy, I suspect you will be paying more than the quoted cost once they realize what actually needs done to get the assemblies out.
I agree. I would definitely ask them if they are going to charge more if it takes longer. You have to take the front end apart and it might hit you with surprise costs.

Hopefully the bolts aren't stuck on too tight, fun memories of this job on my 02' WRX

I would be interested in a ride after you install. I want one, but I don't want the truck to drone.

Calling today to finalize. I’ll ask about the initial estimate.

I'm just saying, it is Christmas time, might as well treat yourself... ?

Also, he has a number of other videos on detailing stuff - he isn't like a detailing guy, just a hobbyist so it isn't super biased... ?

Mine were just delivered. Not sure when the weather will allow me time to install them though, 70° this morning when leaving this morning, tomorrow forecasted to be 35° at that time.
