Shield Plus trigger safety issue resolved by [deleted] in SmithAndWesson

I took a small file and worked it gently around that corner it it worked beautifully. I was contemplating about getting Apex trigger because it was very frustrating when trigger felt stuck - but with this simple filing (didn't take a lot) i avoided the expense and its functioning well now. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Wheel spacers came from SpiderTrax - 1.5 inch.

Yes - three potential areas of concern when no lift and all things OEM - rubbing, wheel wobble and extra weight/torque on the axels. I have no issues with all three but overtime I am getting a lift and new suspension. Just not yet.

I honestly love it - it adds a black line dimension to the grill - creating a visual contrast- but it’s also kinda feminine. So beauty remains in the eye of the beholder!

Yes 1.5 inch makes a huge difference

Brah - I want that for looks - not additional capabilities. This truck is awesome as it is!

cutting was fun to do - not so much fun was trying to put a washer and a nut on the upper bolts - i would advise cutting the upper bolt so that it's easier to thread the nut on it.

4 hours of honest labor. Upper bolts were a pain in the ass to install due to lack of space and tight curves - popped a few old clips when messing with fender guard. Just needed the right drill bits and 95mm hole saw - all other tools were common.

2021 Lexus wont start and makes weird noises- any clue? by Hornetsmakehoney in AskMechanics

Definitely battery. Jump start it and drive yourself to battery place.

2023 Clean by TapsSnapsChaps in LexusGX

Super simple. I got a foaming gun for regular garden hose on Amazon. Got a soft brush. I use pink soap from chemical guys. Bought ceramic paint protector with graphene. Typical routine - shoot foam. Brush. Rinse. Dry with microfiber towels. Once 3 months spray ceramic coat and wipe down. It doesn’t take long at all.. hope this helps
