I should have washed it earlier but with the wet weather and new paint I didn't want to mess it up. Hand washing is a really good practice as you often find problems like scratches and small dents you never noticed with day to day use.

finally fitted my Dash Cams, Uniden iGo 50r 1080p front 720p rear, all cables fitted tidely behind panels and hood lining, has a reserve battery so when fully charged it has 15 mins of backup, only takes a 32gb card, has GPS logging, and I finally have a use for the cigarette socket in the centre console :lolhit:

Also had new tyres fitted on Friday by RACV, had the option to do wheel alignment, but its so far out that they're refunding me to get it done by a workshop.

Got the plugs to keep dust out of the USB power

Oh and made my CJ more legal and replaced the black 'reflector' lights with these red ones that look more stock. Didn't take the bumper off and OMG what a pain in the arm, but yes it can be done with the right tools!

On my car? I didn't do anything today, it's a Sunday and I'm resting :mrgreen:
However, I rented one for a trip. My wife and I will be flying to Europe to visit some of these houses in Greece to buy one for the holidays later on, and I can't fly there with a car, neither the one I already have nor a Lancer.

Just went for a night drive to test the HiBeam and I'm thinking I won't bother getting a light bar for the trip, if I was planning lots of night driving then maybe but not now.

Oh and got the brakes fitted last week!

Stedi LED bar
Minimum of 20 inch
Trust me they are worth their weight in gold for night driving and then night into day

Got my front bumper wrapped in vinyl from Carbon Demon. Also did the side mirror and side bars as well.

Michael, owner of Carbon Demon also put vinyl on the emblems to make them red, really stands out.

Loving it.
To do:
Change HU
Wrap bumper
Change headlight bulb
Change tail light
Sound deadening
Side skirt
Change rear bumper
Change logo colour
Get dual exhaust
