What a great idea! These 3rd gens are well becoming classics! When the compact market comes back, the older compacts worth is gonna go through the roof! Thank you for this great tip! 👍

[@Redeyereaper8]

Hope your going to get another challenger...keep up the great work

Hey Speedy! My scat pack was stolen July 29 a few days before yours. I hope you’re hanging in there. I recovered my car 4.5hrs later and am still waiting for repairs. But this experience changes you. It’s a sad feeling that makes you untrusting of everyone and the world. And it also brings you down deeply when you think about it. My brother went through the same thing in 2020 when his 2010 Camaro 2SS was stolen. I wish the best for you and your family and I hope this will just be a minor memory in the future.

[@SpeedysGarage]

Thanks, it's been tough for sure.

[@Rowan_12FU]

Perfect enough 😅

[@davestewart9146]

That’s great that you’re able to buy a brand new lens, I use plastX on my headlights and taillights, works great, nicely done Sir 👍😁

Just came on to say I'm sorry to hear about the Hellcat. I picked up a 2016 few months back and was looking for content on them. That's how I came across your channel. Then I read about yours getting stolen. I will keep an eye out here in Texas just in case it pops up.

[@pwpt6]

Any leads on go man go???

[@zhajt4r_976]

Is this the same 4runner you did the tundra brake upgrade n steering wheel upgrade with

[@mjktrash]

I had a nearly identical scenario on a Ford Exploder that I was digging into to replace a few cluster lights, using a generic plastic polish (two grades), I was able to get to 99% on what was a VERY scratched/hazed lens. Once reinstalled, you couldn't tell at all that it wasn't new.
Still upset about that other thing, thinking about you and it still.

[@SpeedysGarage]

Thanks man.

[@resistftl]

I have a dead fly inside of the instrument cluster behind the lens cover. Don’t know how the fly got in there. This video shows me how to take the cluster and lens cover off and take out the fly. Thanks

[@SpeedysGarage]

That would be super annoying lol

[@classicrocker81]

Ah the cursed fly seems to make its way into any Toyota gauge cluster haha. My Tacoma had the same problem for a while until I got rid of it when I changed all the cluster lights to LED.

[@state48overland]

Not 100% Sure if it would work. But the 01-04 Tacoma cluster had the windshield washer sensor and cluster light. Wonder if an old Taco cluster could be harvested and retro fit to a 3G4R

[@jameslawhorn146]

Heard go man go was stolen??

[@b1g_ben-473]

No way!!!! WHAT??!!!
