What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Same. I'd replace a few bulbs and test before continuing. And I think that's what went wrong. I'm pretty sure the circuit board made contact with bare metal of the stereo. Learning experience...
 


Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Hmm well those bulbs are powered by the same circuit as the dash lights right? If everything else works, they should too. My bulbs were just old and had weak filaments

Soldered several new bulbs into the GXP's stereo. None of the new bulbs work. Looks like I'll probably have to canibalize a stereo for a new circuit board.

Where can I get LED bulbs for the rear license plate lights? Did a search on here, but didn't come up with much.

GXP is getting lighted rear window switches. I'll post pics when it gets a little darker out so you can see the light in the switch.

Turned 120,000 miles today on my 06 GP Base, she's still chugging along strong..... X X (fingers crossed) knock wood, all that Mumbo-Jumbo...
 
Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Lighted RHR window switch. It's not a plug and play thing. I had to add some wiring so the bulb would have power.

 


Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

you got some really dumb wild life out there.....

i actually did something today. ever since the tranny install it developed a small exhaust leak, just enough to bother me. after watching cold exhaust leaking out of the cat back gasket, i got a new gasket and new ss bolts busted it open, both bolts broke too, not even 6 months old either.


id say that was leaking a little bit. new one got rtv on both sides and bolted tight. the whole thing feels tighter, i had to pry the hangers back on, when i used bare hands to pull the pipe and slide it off the hook, so no more play now.

Hey scotty I got another raccoon. This one took out my foglight, pushed my lower grills in and ****ed with my headlight aiming. This one was huge and fast.

Unfortunately all hitting the brakes did was lower the front end of the car way down. Me, I would have tried avoiding, but that's got risks too. Depending on how far you go with it.

Yeah that's probably why I lost my fog light lol. Reminds me why I shouldn't try to avoid them

Swerving is way worse than braking. I'd rather brake and maybe dip and get a racoon, than brake and end up on my roof in a ditch or in the guard rails.

Jesus Russ not again. How many is that?

You need to keep a kill count on your bumper, use gorilla tape hash marks. It will hold it together too.

Re: What did you do to your boat today? Vol 2.0

Rolled into work this am with the low fuel light on for 40 miles. Usually good for 50-60 miles I thought. I usually roll right into the gas station at that point and fill with never turning it off. Went to work today figuring I would get gas at lunch with a 10 mile cushion. Went out at lunch and it would not start. 🙁 had to walk across the street and get the red can of shame. Put in 1.5 gal and fired right up. Guess I will continue to go straight to the pump after running over 35 miles with the low fuel light on!
