    I decided to move the rear light bar outside so I don't get any light bleed in the trunk when it's on. Also less stress on the liftgate cover.

    Posted this in another thread but I'll update here as well. Just bleed my brakes today. Not sure if I got all of the old fluid out since it was super hard to tell from the color and I did not see any air bubbles come out. I used a turkey baster to squeeze out the old fluid in the reservoir and then bled about 16 ounces from all 4 brakes. Most of the 16 ounces are the rear brakes. Once I pressurized the reservoir, the brake fluid started to bleed out when I loosened the bleeder valve on the brake calipers. I would go back to the reservoir to check brake fluid level and top it off whenever I changed to do the next caliper. I didn't remove the wheels, I was able to get to all 4 wheels by crawling under the car. The front wheels were a little tight but doable.

    Got 4 Michelin LTX M/S2 tires installed at Costco yesterday.

    Bought the new spark plugs from Advance Auto Parts at the end of 2019 when they had a discount. Got 8 for $60. Finally went to replace spark plugs today. Not too bad. First time doing it. Was a little nervous about it but when I was actually doing it, was pretty easy. It was refreshing to work on the car without having to be on my back looking up at the underside. There were a few tight spots but nothing too difficult. Did not know when, if ever, the spark plugs were changed but was coming up to 120K miles so it was time. Looks like the rear 2 plugs had some oil when I was taking it out.

    Good deal! I did mine on my 14' with about 112k miles. The one by the air filter sucked and I had to take the filter off and unhook some wiring harness to get to it. Most seemed OK, a couple had some oil on the threads and this one looked like a shipwreck!
    :notsure:

    Installed Morimoto XB headlights and turned the car into a reindeer.
