Thanks William, I am glad as well (most of the time).
Take it for what it's worth, dude. I'm just a novice.

It sounds better starting it now for sure!! Yeah original starter, 3rd water pump, lost count of the alternators.

Went and installed the Warn hubs that arrived the other day. Saying this was an easy install is an understatement. Capped off the vac lines up by the canister, removed the vac line from the frame bracket to axle and put caps on the ends of those too just to keep crud out. everything works great.

When I get a spare moment I'll take apart the factory hubs and see why they wouldnt unlock even with the dial moving freely.

Thought some of you would get a kick at seeing my rental car, since the EX is getting a new ac compressor installed.

I showed my wife this pic (and reminded her of the NY car rental pic and the aircraft carriers you posted pics of before) and she chuckled and said we'd triple our monthly income if you donated a small percentage of your earned interest income, LOL!

I'm a very casual type guy (an ex driving kind) you've seen my pics from the Bahamas that's me everyday, shorts and flip flops. I put a suit on twice this year, dinner in NYC and a wedding it was awful!

When I put my Pioneer AVH-8500 head unit in earlier this year I ran the USB and HDMI to my center console so I could charge my phone and use it for app radio without wires running across my vehicle. Only problem was that the Pioneer HU puts out 1A on USB - which sucks if I run GPS and streaming music at the same of time since it will either just sit at whatever battery it's at or slowly drain. Decided to tap into the rear floor power point and hardwired a charger and usb cord so I can charge at 2.4A which allows me to charge along with using music and gps.

Next up is to replace that whole rear console square pop out that really isn't useful since I have an aftermarket deck and just have 4 USB ports and a regular 110V running off a inverter. I'll keep the original hidden since it controls my rear speakers.
