Coming up soon, front and rear bumpers (have a warn zeon ready to go on,) and sliders.

Then I'm undecided on if I want to tackle a hybrid cage, a mild interior cage, or a light exo..

I still need to do a tune up.. Already did plugs but I could use wires and the works; which would probably squeeze a couple more mpgs out of her. But if I drive "modest" and stick to the highways I get about 17. Give or take on how heavy my foot is.

I was getting about 12 before the gears, so it definitely helped. I get 17 when I want to get good mileage, otherwise my foots in it and it's around 14/15.

How's the glare on the hood with those lights and brackets? They are spot beam?
