I like it. The camera does make it sound a little Ricerish. It has a mellow note at idle and on the hiway. No drone. But when you get on the gas it tends to get a little loud

Found a set of original Waggy front seats in my interior color (red) for 50 bucks. Then ditched the crappy GC seats the PO swapped in for the Waggys!

I wasn't stuck on the trails. It blew on the highway on the way home.

Slapped some paint on the OHC that I managed to snag from the JY yesterday. Then installed it. Finished painting the turbine wheels and painted the grill and headlight bezels. Still dealing w/ the seatbelt bolt it does not want to come out. I got it back out about a half inch and it does not want to budge anymore.

Cheater pipe. Or breaker bar. I just took mine out today and they each alternated between loose and tight several times.

Yep the fun ran out while installing the O2 sensors, lol.

Had to go rent the special sockets and still had hell getting the old ones off. So I only got spark plugs and O2 sensors done and I'm calling it a day.

Tomorrow will be fluids and brakes...hopefully, haha.

Now that is a MUCH more practical use of a golf course!
