Forsure! I’ll go out there and look at it then call Metra if have any questions or anything. Thanks!
What are you working on? (Besides your offroad vehicle)

Garage is looking better. Toolbox actually has the organization. Welding/ compressor plugs installed. Lights are in, just waiting on bulbs. Garage is getting a little more organized and cleaned up. I’ll be getting two cabinets to replace the shelf next to the welder to help clean things up.
Cleaned up a blown over tree in the yard and installed an intake blanket and new intake on the Yawnda.

Picked up a big ol 6" vise on Craigslist.
Not going for a showroom restore, but got it apart to get the nasty grease out and will probably give it a good wire wheel.

Spent a couple of weeks waiting on parts for my wife 06 Highlander hybrid. It started off just doing a standard timing belt change. Ended up replacing the front cover/ oil pump on the motor because the last person that had messed with it did a piss poor repair job on the threads for the tensioner shaft bolt. On top of the five hours it took to change the thermostat.

What the hell did the PO do to that bolt?! That's super shitty
They stripped the threads out of the mounting point on the front cover and used a 3/8 thread insert to try and repair it. That wasn't even drilled square to the mounting surface.

sometimes I build toys on my free time.
working on a 1:14 scale radio control telehandler. It's hydraulic lift/tilt/telescope. 4wd and 4ws. via electric motors. Made of steel and brass silver soldered together. Body is 3d printed since I'm lazy. cab design needs to be reworked to improve the realism.

Does the steering act like a real pettibone steering system? Front only(straight steer), round steer, and oblique steer?

all modes will be doable via channel mixing on the radio.
Sweet. That's pretty rad.

thanks. keeps me out trouble and way cheaper than truck stuff
LOL. If I keep breaking my rig I'm either going to become an overlander or an RC truck guy. I haven't decided which is more evil yet. In reality though, every overlander I know has an RC truck in his rig, That way when they get to camp they can at least pretend to have done some wheeling.
I've been known to carry multiple RC trucks, so when one breaks I can play with the other one.
I've currently got 3 and only the 2wd one is in working condition. Haha.
Totally makes sense now.I've been known to carry multiple RC trucks, so when one breaks I can play with the other one.

Haha yeah. They're fun for the kids. 8/10 times I break them before Robbie can. One of them I actually carry around spare parts for. That's the one I really need to finish fixing because it's fun as fuck to jump off shit. It runs, I just need to rig something up to keep the esc and fan tied down.

Old lady’s Scion XB headlight has had condensation for a while from a fender bender and she came to me saying her blinker was flashing fast. I knew it must be a burned out bulb causing hyperflash, and go to change the bulb and am greeted with this
That’s about 12 oz of water sitting in there! Drilled a drain hole in the housing for now, and cleaned up the connectors with electrical contact cleaner and popped in a new bulb. It’ll get her by until we can install a new housing.
