Looks pretty good, Its to dark for the finished pic but here are some prep pics.

38? My door jam says 33 so that's what I filled mine to. What's everyone usually run at? When I had my new destinations installed last week, they only filled them to 28...I was surprised they were that low.
According to my tpms I am running around 40. Not sure how accurate with the lift but they are E range so I could go to 80 max if I wanted to

To help improve the gas mileage I rotated the lug nuts once again as recommended per the regular useage maintenance schedule. When all was done I had 10 lugs left over - can't figure out where I went wrong. 2 of the wheels felt really loose. Will have to look at this closer tomorrow.
I did this other day ended up with 9 1/2 lug nuts......

Seriously, how the heck do you get the cross rails off the roof rack?!?! I screwed the black screws completely off to release the metal plate underneath but I can't get the plate off...I asked on another thread and they said to pull out the metal pin but mine won't come off...even with pliers I can't get ahold of it enough to pull on it without them slipping off...what's the trick?

Part# for the blue ones is: Taylor 82641

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Taylor_Cable/Spark_Plug_Wire/T6482641.html $60.56 with free shipping.

Blizzboy-

Let us know how that catch can works out for ya, I have beeen eyeballin them but never pulled the pin and bought one. Which guy did you get it from?
I figure a cheap one is better than nothing. The thing is solidly built. The only problem I had was with the fittings. The PCV hose (3/8) is bigger than the fittings on the catch can (5/16). Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone were no help, nor was Home Depot or Lowe's. Finally I went to this random, run down auto parts store near my work, where there was so much cigarette smoke that you couldn't see the ceiling.

I had to explain what I was doing about 3 times before he kept circling back to what I was doing. I finally put my finger up and went out and got the catch can and the fuel hoses.

I waited a minute or so after I got back in since the owner was now on the phone with whom I can only assume was an attorney, about winning some-type of judgment. I was curious if I knew the attorney or not, and what type of judgment this was but I didn't catch the name and I didn't want the guy to talk my ear off about legal advice as well.

The owner with cigarette in mouth went to the back and produced the perfect fitting. Of course he only had one and had to order one for pick up the next day.

Price for two fittings was $5.xx. The fuel hose was $2.99 @ Auto Zone, and the Catch Can was $19.99 from here on eBay. I could have sworn I paid $15 though.

So less than $30 for a catch can vs. $100 plus.
