What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Today after a good hand wash, I lubricated every single rubber seal I could get to on the car with Johnsen's Silicone Lubricant for the winter. I lubricated the rubber seals in all the doors, door jambs, rear trunk, and engine bay hood. I love this stuff cause it's silicone based as recommended and waterproof:

What's the weather out by you that u can do a hand wash? Here in MI it's staying below 30 mostly below 20.

:laugh: I didn't know there is "proper" procedure to swap out the OEM brakes with BBK.

Installed these. Bought them individually from Burtman (didn't want the whole set). I'd really prefer formed metal pieces but overall they are not bad. When they came in I carefully sanded all the edges with 400G paper to removes any burrs from the cut-out process. FYI - the material is not metal but it looks it and being far enough away from the other pieces you can't really see the difference in finish or coloration from the OEM metal.

Dropped this in today as well, looking for an opinion, Would you cut up the cargo tray to fit or just lose the CAS? I like the idea of better bass, I really need the cargo tray as I use the FX for hauling everything from dog food, to sheet rock chunks, to computer hardware, to photography gear, to my dog.....you get the picture, the tray is important. I miss the organizer but I find I am hauling bigger stuff all the time and the tray is necessary. Do I just trim a corner off?
 
Refurbed my scratched up shift knob. Recently bought an 05 FX35 with 44k miles on it, and I guess the previous owner wore a ring that really scratched up the aluminum strip down the middle of the shift knob. It really looked cruddy (I wish I remembered to take a before shot), but after using some sandpaper to sand the strip down, it looks like new again! I sanded it in the same direction as the center console grain, so it matches really well...

the route I went was to get some mdf and make a cargo tray from that one and you will be good to go. I still have my oem one. I would dare cut that!

Cutting a fit piece out of another material is a good idea. If I do end up chopping up the OEM tray I'll make a cardboard template.
 
Found my old z-tube that had the vacuum hose connector fall off. It seems like my fixed worked well so I may reinstall it with a stillen kit. Also ordered a bra, so no more blue tape. :smile (2):
 
Free roll, damn! You know If you could have timed a house painting job in Cali for when you arrived that would have been a huge savings.
 
Finally got my stoptech slotted/drilled rotors and SS stoptech brake lines installed with EBC Greenstuff brake pads. Unfortunately the brake pads show the green with the red painted calipers.

Do you have a link to where you got the rotors? I didn't know Stoptech made that for us, figured it was a power slot part.
