Default LED Bulbs
Replaced the burned out PART TIME bulb with an amber LED. Slightly dimmer than before, but still plenty visible in daylight. Tried using a green LED in the CRUISE light, but felt it was too bright. It's already enough of a glarebomb with the regular bulb.

Spindle nut on mine was easymode. A little oil, a little heat, a little 2' breaker bar, and off she came. Locking it in 4WD and it being a 36mm hex nut helped. I was most afraid of the stupid 12-point 13mm heads holding the hub on. Second time around I did end up stripping one and pounded on a 12mm. Actual worst part was changing the joints without deforming the yoke ears Screwed up mine badly enough I had to bend and wiggle and grind some material off.

On the flip side, if you leave the holes you don't need to fix the air conditioning.
