How have I never seen such a thing?! I usually just use my feet as well to lift and hold. But that thing looks pretty handy.

New rims.

I got these off a Saudi never mounted but sun faded from sitting for 2000 SAR or 533.41 USD. Not sure how the prices are in CONUS, but over here it's a really good deal.

P.S. it's impossible to lug 4 rims in a company Camry...

Thanks.

I was surprised to find a full set of HAAN's from RTX over here, but hey you can't look a gift camel in the mouth... 'cause it'll spit on you or bite you

Apparently a Camry is only useful in moving bodies if you're Yakuza...

For some reason my wife thought it would be a good idea for her to go with me and do some "lite" shopping. So that may be why I didn't have room...

Ah yes spending money, I would complain...

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid

A few quick and easy projects this past week:

• Disabled DRLs with BMW Scanner 1.4.0
• Wired AEs to switched power so they work as DRLs instead
• Upgraded MKIV computer software to latest version and ordered latest nav map DVDs from eBay
• Added BavTek automatic lift trunk springs

Man you must elaborate on the AEs being DRLs. I’ve wanted to do this so bad.

Yea I couldn't take the yellow DRLs anymore. Check out this thread: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...eyes-drls.html and my post from today (https://xoutpost.com/1139592-post65.html).

Turned out to be pretty quick and easy. Sounded much more complicated. Let me know if you have questions!
