I've come to terms with it. It's why I have zero interest in modding the TL these days... whats the point. It's hard enough keeping all maintenance up to date and keeping the car clean
I'll mod the dedicated summer toy, that can get babied. Makes more sense.

Get a leather swing, really helps with alignment.
I'm keeping it easy, I don't want an all year round to become a project car, and surely not a TL.
Hopefully I can put some money on it this year, timing belt to do, would like to fix my tiny ass rust spots on the rear left door, paint correction would be nice, iSimple, N7 install, maybe drop her ~ 1 inch, cheap eBay trunk lip, replace some burnt out interior leds, fix my non working LED DRL (thx for nothing ijdmtoy), bushings, motor mounts and yadda yadda.

yea as far as I can remember it looked just like that. We couldn't get it to work at first as the instructions were wrong lol. so we did the reverse of what the instructions said and they lit right up lol

Care to show me how you wired it? Swear to god, I must have tried every possible combo ever as I was freezing my hands off, no go. I just didn't have time to test the relay and that's about it.

I tried every possible combination too...and none of them worked. since they were pretty cheap and mine had seen winter/salt I opted to get a new one.
once I got the new one I followed THEIR instructions and it worked like a charm. but made NO logical sense to me. There's no way guessing which looked like it should go hear or there would have worked.

Just got a contractor to come and install my screw piles for my deck over lunch. Literally took him 25 minutes to install 5 screw piles.
$945, later...

Literally thinking piles of screws. Those are posts or ground anchors. Assuming that is what you mean.

There's no way you'll install a 10 foot deep screw pile without a skid steer. The torque needed to turn that bitch gets crazy. Plus, gotta keep it level at all times. Don't want to be rotating in an oblong shape, as you'll weaken the soil structure unnecessarily....
It's also a big fucking deck. 2 feet bigger than when I last posted pics of it. I want it done right. No point on cheapening out just to save 300 bucks in the long run. I'm doing everything else myself, so who cares if the deck costs 4000 or 4300.

That's exactly what it looked like while the guys were installing. The finished picture is what the base posts will look like.
I also have no idea where to just buy the screw piles. I found a place but they only sold large quantities of them, which wouldn't work for me

Here's ones I used before:
PYLEX - "Pylex" Foundation Screw | Réno-Dépôt
This explains how to install them manually:
Two Ways to Install Screw Piles - Paalupiste|Helical Screw Piles
This is some oldish dude installing it by himself:

The helix on the screw piles is 14" in diameter. Each one is rated to hold over 7000 pounds. It's overkill but I designed the deck according to city building code and they require piles every so many feet, based on joist and beam size. I'm also using 2x12 and 2x10 joists and beams. The deck is two s3ctions- the bigger section relies on 2x12s, the smaller on 2x10s. It is overkill but in order to pass city inspection, I had to do it this way. Oh well. This fucker will withstand a hurricane now
