Replaced the TPS, but noticed that the ultra-rare CCV step-down coupling was almost broken in half... Accidentally hit the tube, and broke it in half. -_-

Bought a pack of 6 of these lights on eBay and they got here today. They are supposed to be 2,110 lumens (we will see if they are that bright when it gets dark)
I'm putting 2 in the hatch and 2 under the hood. Not sure about the other 2

They were only $15 a set. I tested them out in the house in a dark room with a 12v converter. It was definitely brighter than my 1300 lumen flashlight.

X2 they seem like they would be good for reverse lights if they shine a good distance

Do you have a link to these? I planned on doing some for extra light for reverse but I could only find ones that used double sided tape instead of the screw in style. I like those ones better.

OK didn't go outside to test the lights. But here are a few pictures to show you. I had to raise the exposure on the camera to be able to see. The lawnmower is about 6 feet away and the truck is 15 feet.

Attempt #1 in simplifying task, helped with not having to climb under the truck due to a lost wrench, but it wouldnt fit all the way

I now had a wrench that fit in the space, but it was too small! (or so i thought)
FINALLY got a good bite with it, and in a good position to turn it.

So today: Changed my CPS and changed my MAP sensor.

And no I could not get it with ratchet extensions, although I tried.

I think I would be cool to sand up a jeep like that then clear coat it
