Replaced my low beams today, was surprisingly easy just taking off the 2 bolts on top and jamming my hand back there. Didn’t have to go in through wheel well or remove anything else.

They look whiter but I’ll have to see at night. Don’t want to go projector or LED at this point so hopefully the crystal vision ultra will do the trick.

Backup cam mounted! Pain in the ass but I got it done. Just need to run the wiring from the trunk forward but it’s 90% there.

Found one rubber exhaust hanger worked itself off the exhaust and just hanging there. Attachd it back to the exhaust and finally the occasional annoying clunking from he passenger rear is gone.

Meh... Looks like the damn clunking is actually still there. :banghead: I've checked and rechecked pretty much all I can under there and I can't find anything loose anywhere. Sway bar end links are tight, exhaust is now properly hung, shocks are good etc. etc.

The clunk sounds sort of hollow and it is not related to the road surface or even speed at all. You can actually mostly hear it on a smooth road, especially on asphalt when it's nice and quiet otherwise. You can't really hear it when going over bumps and ruts, really. Weird... :wtf:

Check the heat shield around the spare tire? I had a "clanging" sound that happened randomly on the highway and sometimes when hitting sharp bumps. The heat shield is mounted by two tabs and one was broken (my fault from a previous project). When parked, the pieces were close enough together that I didn't notice the separation at first. At speed, the wind turbulence blew it around and it'd sometimes hit the frame rail.

His clunk might be my clang. My clang might be your bump. Your bump might be his knock. His knock might be my clunk. My clunk might be your thud. Your thud might be his boom. His boom might be your pow. Your pow might be my zok. My zok might be his bif. His bif might be your zwap. Your zwap might be his crunch. His crunch might be my crack. My crack might be his snap. His snap might be your clash...

Clunking, clanking, what ever. LOL! :D Annoying as hell, though.

I've yanked the heat shield many times and it hasn't been moving, but I guess I'll drop the spare to make sure it's there properly.

have you checked your struts?, tie rod ends?, wheel hubs?

The sound is in the rear, so no tie rods or struts to deal with. Tried the wheel shaking and it didn't move anywhere.

Shocks look good, but at 8 years and 130K miles, might not be a bad idea to consider changing them. As well as the struts in the front, of course.

Took a spare hour today to finish the backup camera install. Wire came forward easily through the headliner, down A-pillar and across below glovebox. Of course, the RCA input stuck out too far to fit the head unit back in correctly so I had to drill out some of the plastic bracket behind it. It's never easy!

The Amazon camera I have seems to work well however the instructions said to cut this white wire near the camera to remove the backup lines. I did this since I can't turn them off on the head unit I have but they're still there. I guess I'll learn to live with it, I don't want to go back into the tailgate to try and fix it.

I also grounded the parking brake wire to get video in motion while I was at it.

That said, I'm happy overall with the cameras' factory appearance and seemingly good quality. I am really glad everything worked when I turned it on for the first time! Link to camera for reference.

I did right after I pissed away that 5 minutes of my life. A semi was on fire so I-10W was shut down again (as expected) so I took the long way around. The job was just another safe at a Wendy's that had electronic failures due to a roach infestation (again, as expected).

Anyway, this has nothing to do with what I did to my NNBS GMT900 today. To get back on subject, Jenn went and had the right rear tire plugged. It's just temporary because it'll be getting new tires soon.
