I use a torx in a $30 Ryobi mini driver I got from Home Depot. 10 seconds tops.
Oh and the drill/driver is great for about a million other things with the Jeep and even has enough power to remove all 8 hardtop bolts. Word!
Plus, you Gecko guys'll like the color...

Went to the car wash today to vacuum. Found carpet on passenger side soaked. It was even went in front of the back seat. Just the motivation i needed to remove the carpet and start bed lining. You can see in one of these pics there is so much water it's actually pouring out the drain hole simply from peeling the carpet back, essentially wringing it out.
6 years of funk! I found money, candy, buttons (hehe) , hair, bobby pins and just general grime. This is how it looks after 2 light coats today.
Also my roommate who moved out the other day, gave me a hitch and ball that had been rusting in the back of his ram for years. I hit it with the wire brush and sprayed it with rust reformer and it looks good now. Got a pin at the parts store today for $4
I got a 750 lumen cree LED for $30 mounted under a new license plate bracket ( $30 also, scratch n dent) which i hit with plastidip before installing. The LED pod is wired to the factory reverse lights.
