    I've driven the truck more in the last week than I have the last 2 months. We've been taking a load over to the new house every day. I'm really thankful for the windoors. Also, it's impressive how much the Rav4 can hold.

    Installed the Upper Corner Tweeters today. FuzedIt’d them behind the OEM Grill. So nice to hear crisp mids and highs again. The old OEM Tweeters were toast. I took them out and you couldn’t tell any difference in sound. :rofl:My system sounds so good now even with the OEM Stereo Head (installed 4 JBL Concert Speakers last year). These Tweeters were the missing piece.

    Picked up Percy Gaskets at Autozoned. Check out those layers. Look at my Arm Protectors! They are very protective. Called Percy and confirmed sides preference. Basically, they said it doesn’t matter but the way I’ve labeled it is ok.

    SUVs and minivans are underestimated in the amount of crap they'll hold. Our Durango is longer from tailgate to the front seats than the bed is in the DC.

    Interesting what Percy said, you would think with such a dramatic dimple it would matter.
    Thoughts on that?

    It shouldn’t matter, it will all crush down. My remflex gaskets came with a sample piece to show how much it crushes.

    Basically, guy at Percy said what FrenchToasy said. It doesn’t matter as it will be crushed down anyways.

    Both ends were wasted! Glad you brought that to my attention. I couldn’t even find it until I spun them over and saw the bottom side.EE49041C-16EF-4B02-BD7A-35136A7CB4EE.jpg
    One side is fatter than the other. Ended up replacing the whole line from manifold hard line to the box. I had what was left of a spool of 5/16 hose that I used for my diff breather relocate on the tundra.CC9694DE-ABD5-4AE1-9582-D84376801F91.jpg
    I trimmed the little 1/8” vacuum line as well.49962962-D08B-4A9D-BF3F-393DFEBE0A15.jpg
    I know it’s not on the last three 3/8 of an inch, it was getting pretty snug and I didn’t want to break the nipple off the box. It’s not going anywhere.I also trimmed a small amount off of the larger hose as well.FAF74670-B990-440C-B015-0CCA565E86F4.jpg

    Shweet! I’ve added Zip Ties to all my Vacuum Hoses Ends. Not as good as Spring Clamps, but snugged tight they are better than nothing at all. Long term is me adding all new OEM Hoses with Spring Clamps which will run around $300 total. Going OEM for all the bends, etc.

    I do love OEM and the way it looks. But this hose will definitely suffice. If I have to get into the other end where they have bends, I’ll start tracking stuff down. I like the way you think with the zip ties, but I will probably pass on that. Proper Spring clamps wouldn’t piss me off though! If I start having issues with the vacuum lines, I’ll look into doing more of it.

    Yeah. I’d have done the same as you if I had an extra hose length around. That hose on mine wasn’t as bad as yours but needed trimming off both ends, as well.

    Perfect. I guess it's acts like a big crush washer, when torqued down.

    Was the chimney looked at by the home inspector? I'm wondering if that's creosote or just dirt on the top side of your chimney. Don't want no fire in the chimney.

    Is this much water normal out of the ac drip condenser. I live is socal by the coast.

    My buddy drives a 2007 Sequoia and his puddle was way smaller in comparison today.

    any maintenance or things I should look at?
