Long due for a front end refresh. Fresh coat of paint on the front grill that was peeling and cleared up the headlights. Just waiting on some new retrofits which I'll have wrapped before I put them on. Hoping I don't have to take my front bumper off to slot the retrofits in... 😬
⚡Out with the old, in with the new!⚡ After about a week of work, I've finally swapped my lead acid auxiliary bank for an updated lithium bank. Turns out you can't use the same charging system for lithium batteries as you can with lead acid so I had to replace my aux bank system.
