Hold on, this is exciting! -

I replaced the battery in my FOB, for the first time, in 10 years.

Mine still has the original battery in it from 2012.

Whiteline fever

At a state inspection (which in Va is done by repair shops), my FRS failed because they said I had a bad ball joint, so I decided to try Whiteline's roll center adjustment kit. Just for fun, I added the end links since mine have 110k miles on them.

Funny thing, upon removal, neither ball joint appeared bad. I guess the shop was looking for extra work. And, their tech said he couldn't find a replacement ball joint because Scions haven't been made since 2016.

The reinspection is free but I won't be going there for anything else except, they did have a good price on Conti DWS which is why I went there instead of my regular place where they know I do my own car repair.

Installed some flashy bits that no one will ever see. But my pinch welds and jack stand pads will certainly appreciate it.

Yeah I think this is not taking weight completely off the pinch welds, but at least it's getting distributed better, and will stop splitting my rubber jack stand pads. I suppose I'm lucky to find these after my first year in AX lol.
