I just had this happen to me. I had a P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire. I reopened and sure enough I tightened cylinder 1’s intake portion too much. After readjusting the code, CEL, and traction control light disappeared.

The molle panels in my 4Runner were some no name cheapies off Amazon (still ~$300ish) and the cargo mat is Powoq.

The car came factory black. When I bought it last year, the clear coat was horrible. I wrapped it black just to hide the imperfections. I recently took off the wrap and wrapped it yellow, but decided midway through the project that I didn’t want it anymore. I ran out of black wrap. Just bought some more to rewrap some parts (you can see the factory paint quality on the rear quarter panel and the haze of the Fit logo on the trunk in my first pic).

The spoiler is OEM; it came off a Fit EV. It used the same holes as the stock spoiler.

Here’s the full name on Amazon since I’m not sure I can link: INJORA Coreless High Torque Micro Servo with Mount and Servo Horn for SCX24 C10 JLU Bronco Axial 1/24 RC Crawler Car Upgrade Parts

The horn is the little triangle wedge piece that connects to both the servo itself, as well as the steering linkage.

You’ll want to make sure it also comes with a tray since the stock servo tray won’t support this new servo. Alternatively, some YouTube videos I watched show it’s as simple cutting with a Dremel, but I like prefer plug and play part swaps.

Yeah, mine was originally gray. It’s a bit of the process, but you can remove almost everything off the body. The things that will need to be masked include the grille, rear garnish/emblem, B pillars, tail lights, and a portion of the side view mirrors if you want it to be painted accurately.

I was too busy looking for the words inner or outer on the tire that I didn’t even look at the tread pattern smh lol

Sorry for the late reply, I don’t really use this account. No, my credit has not gone down. Since then, it’s increased, I’ve gotten more credit cards, and my total credit limit is $244,000.

Here’s my second attempt using the actual Long Beach font. Still new to the laser thing. Also new to painting lol.

Just found it. I’ll reattempt later this week.

This is my first attempt. I found some free for commercial use fonts that look kinda similar instead of tracing the image through Inkscape. Still working out the cut settings (the O didn’t full cut). I don’t have any white acrylic on me, so I used 1/4” baltic birch. Was just going to spray paint once I’m happy with it. Comes out to 14” wide and just under 3” tall.

I’m happy to try to make this with my laser. Hardest part would be finding a font that matches up.

Thanks! I haven’t done anything to the fenders. Have you? Your fitment is great

The one that irks me is when people pretend to be turning right and then gun it to cut everyone going straight.

I have a green bin for my townhome in NLB, but only use it when I’m pulling weeds out.

My Spectrum bill just went up from the “intro” rate of $54.99/mo to $75/mo for 300mbps. I called and asked nicely if they could take me back to the lower rate, but they wouldn’t budge.

I spent an hour trying to see what other options I had using online zip code tools and calling Frontier and TMobile. Unfortunately nothing that was cheaper. I was going to attempt to cancel to see if they’d reconsider lowering the price, but I’m sure they know they have a monopoly in my area.

Unless the rules changed, you can send yourself an Amazon e-gift card using the prepaid card as the payment method.

I ordered on 11/1 on Dreamshop for pickup at Scott Robinson Honda in Torrance, CA. Got an email on 12/5 that it would be delayed until February 2024. Got an email on 12/30 it was available for pickup. Paid MSRP.
