    Installed a new aux cable I got off eBay to replace my "aux mod" setup that kept coming unplugged. Works like a champ and we'll worth the $4

    Had my car checked out by my mechanic, then he detailed his mommy's car also.

    Nothing or nearly so, checked the tire pressure and gave it the day off.

    I wish i had the ambition of some of you guys to wash, clay bar and wax but alas she suffers with automatic car washes.

    If you're ever in the Wichita area I have a couple new clay bars, some soap and a wide variety of adult beverages. I might have wax too.

    All kidding aside I'd like to dedicate a day to getting it cleaned up this spring and have tossed around buying a kit from AMMO NYC that covers some of the important products. Maybe.....some day.

    Fixed my shitty treadstone piping.

    Fun fact: The "meth bung" they used is also made from aluminum. Guess how awesomely strong the threads are.

    Fuck treadstone.

    Their strength is relative to the two fittings and the person turning the wrench.

    Were you able to retap it or weld it up and drill a new hole?

    Drilled and retapped with a larger size, then RTV'd a matching bolt into it.

    Bummed I still missed it. Was hoping to get there, just couldn't get away. I needs to get betters at shirking my responsibilities.

    Will do for sure. It's been a while since I've been on stock mounts so I won't be able to comment on the difference from stock to Damond, but I will be able to review the difference going from JBR 88/80 duro trilogy to Damond.

    Would be easier to take the front clip off when putting it back together.
