not today but a week ago I changed the oil in differentials and transfer case...I was too cheap to pay 60$ to have a shop reset the TC adaptations so I ordered the software and cable from the romanian guy tonight for 35$ so I can do it myself

I did all mine with a good kit from Ebay. ~$35 and the light is much more pleasing to the eye (for me). I prefer sunlight/light in the 5-6000 kelvin range. I'll try to get pics but they never come out right with LED interior lights.

EDIT: Here you go. Quality kit. He sells it pretty hard in his description... but it IS a nice kit.

I switced over quite some time ago. Really like them. Brighter and white. Very updated, state of art look. Bought as complete set. Plug and play.

Bought all the parts needed to replace the wear items in the rear suspension. Only upgrade from stock is power flex swaybar bushings, otherwise Lemforder/Meyle HD (subframe bushings) parts.

I'll be doing the install Christmas week. Oddly enough, I bought the parts from FCP, ECS, and BavAuto. Each was cheaper on one thing or the other. ECS had the power flex bushings and the replacement bushings for the lower control arms (instead of $300 arms each side I spent $35 or $40 on bushings each side...) that no one else had. Ymmv.

Picked it up after having the transfer case and front CV axles replaced. And drove it shake-free for the first time since August. And drove it. And drove it some more. With no particular place to go.
