Default Thread of DIY Mods, Repairs, and Useful Info

I have found many threads (and some external webpages) where someone describes a useful mod or posts a tutorial that isn't in the stickied page, or gives info helpful for diagnosing problems. I figured I'd start a thread to list these. I'd appreciate if y'all post similarly helpful threads if you know of them.

Homemade Sway Bar Disconnects

I can't find the inline thermostat mod but that's that's good one, too.

De-cat and Long Tube Headers - "Hedman Headers/Flow master Muffler Installed"

This is a nifty one. Cat delete and long tube headers. I'll be using the cat delete at some point.

If the "write up" sticky wasn't closed, this post could be added to that.

I agree. I could possibly have talked to the mods before I posted this, but I figured why make more work for them.

Good additions so far!

Here's another, '03/'04 HID Projector Retrofit. Very nice looking and helpful at night.

Defo worth a 'sticky' tag and one that can be possibly added to later but not a lot of one off crap though.

That is pretty neat. I'm sitting on some 03/04 headlights right now. Already made them look nice.

Btw I got an envelope today. You are the KING!

Very welcome Charlie! I'm just glad that one came out, the other one sheared right off.
