    Installed the Odin hardware Starlink mini mount and I’m impressed!

    I have been kinda intrested in Starlink, just haven't had the cash flow to be really interested!
    How is it on the monthly bill?

    I love having the star link super fast! Monthly bill is $10 for 10gb. They have a $5 standby plan for low speed. When I plan on using it a ton I up the plan per my usage. I’ve attached the plans they offer. I’ve also attached a free month from their referral program. It’s a complete game changer.

    Added Rear Seat Grab Handles. Quality of the para cord feels like the same quality as the higher priced ones from 4runner Lifestyle. Replaced the ones I got from 4runner Lifestyle. They were to short. Time will tell how long it will hold up since it was under $10 from Amazon.

    The shift just screws off and screws on. If you are asking about the shift boot I just bought one online put it on and tucked everything under the panel and push the panel in until I hear the click that it locked in place so the shift boot is just wedge in between. It's really simple. Won't even take you 5 mins to do

    Added Ark Micro Flare flaps. Mine were sun damaged and figured I’d change the look.

    Something went away with my quote and post above...

    Was supposed to say:
    Nice. I expect those are somewhere in my future as well. Thanks for the preview.

    Finished up the diff service with the front and transfer case. Yummy yummy royal purple. Whenever I decide to take this C4 transfer case skid off, I am going to cut slot for the drain port. Had to cut up a funnel to not make such a big mess

    Just your standard good ol' zip tie. I don't remember where I got the shift know from. I just googled it and picked a site that had the best price. The shift boot I got it on Amazon.

    I've had similar ones in my FJ Cruiser for about 10+ years. Now of course the rear door of the FJ is a b*tch to enter.. so they get used often. Never a problem with the headrest or the paracord.

    Did a deep clean yesterday. Wash, clay, hand polished the hood to get some swirls/water spots out (Mother’s compound), and finished with Mother’s ceramic spray wax. Should help protect it for these southern “winter” months coming up :cool:

    No different than people pulling on the headrest to get in. This way there will be no finger prints all over the headrest.
