You will also have to adjust the jets once you get them installed. You can move the little 2 little sprayers in each jet. It takes a bit of time to get them just right. When I first installed them they were spraying the very bottom of the windshield and it freaked me out and I thought I had got to bad jets, but I finally figured out they move. Just a heads up

If you angle them just right where it launches over your windshield then you can spray the ahole tailgater behind you. I have adjusted this several times in the past. It really pisses them off, especially if they are out of washer fluid...just makes a mess of their windshield. Then they usually back off.

I had my rear washer on my RSX flipped upside down and it was great to get people off my a$$. For some reason in that car I always had little kids in rice burners trying to race me.

Installed a new Fan Clutch and all new lug nuts. The lug nuts finished off my freshly powered coated wheel and lift project. Makes huge difference to have nice shiny lug nuts up against those black powder coated wheels.

Finally replaced my upper radiator hoses and installed a brass bleeder screw. That screw is awesome. No coolant leaks out, just air escapes.

I've needed to replace the hoses and plastic T for about 2 months now. The plastic t was leaking around the screw. Had a mishap with an ebay seller who sent me the wrong hoses and I had to wait on him to send the right ones. I was waiting for the day when the damn thing would explode on the highway or something.

Did you go with OEM lugs or aftermarket?

I flipped my spare tire mount and went and picked up a matching spare tire finally. The tire mount flip was pretty darn easy, just be very careful with those little red clips that hold on the door panel. I decided not to drill the 2 middle holes out and I only used 4 of the 6 bolts when re-installing the mount. It seems to hole it fine. Do you guys think it will hold the 265/75 okay?

(A little tip. When cutting the plastic to get to the 6 nuts for the tire mount, only cut 3 sides. After you are done you can simply fold the plastic back over and tape it back up.)

Funny thing happened at discount tire. Some guy right behind me in line drove an FJ and he pulled up right beside me and told me how much he liked the look of the Disco and he was here to get the same tires put on. He opened the door for me on the way in (big mistake) and I got called up right before him. I finished paying for my 1 spare tire and went to sit down and could hear him talking to the sales guy after me. It turned out that he needed the same size as mine and they only had 3 left because I had bought the 4th. I felt bad for the guy. He walked in there all happy like he had been looking forward to his new tires all month long and walked out of there so sad and disappointed. But hey, doesn't my Rover look good
