Alright!...early holiday gifts!

Just got in my stuff from Will Tillery. I ordered a pair of DI wiper arms, a DI 3 switch carrier, and 4 switches and installed them all. I painted the arms with satin black rustolium, then bought some nice silicone Triblade wiper blades. I also bought two packs of 1156LL Sylvania bulbs for my rear tail lights....im going to post about this in the How To section....its a fun little mod.

..I totally need this because winter is now.

...I painted them because they were faded. ....what kinds of stories???...they are the same brand that has been on the rover for over a year. What I did so I didnt have to pay the $75 a year ago....is a actually took the stock blades, pried open the blades, cut the Triblade blades to match and then clamped them back in.....have been good up till this point.
