    Got it as a Christmas gift. I think you can find the kit on Amazon for around $10. Well worth it in my opinion.

    How bad were your headlights to begin with? Mine are showing some light hazing but enough to where I want to replace the lenses since they're retro fit headlights.

    Wish I would have taken the before pic but they were pretty bad. I really didn't think that they would come out so clear.

    The kit basically sands the lenses down starting with 300 grit then 800 and last wet sand it with 3000. After the sanding then the lenses are buffed and sealed. Everything comes in the kit. I even have enough left over to another set.

    I used the same product when I did my bhlm. This was my comparison. BUT unless you clear coat it, it will want to yellow and haze quicker than before.

    From what I've heard, they're meant to force the air around the tire. Helping with aerodynamics and the vortices created by the wheel. How much of that is true, is beyond me. Never cared enough to fact check it.

    Could have saved you some money. I have mine from my 2014 TRD OR that I'm trying to get rid of.

    Have you thought about a right angle drill? Looks like you should have enough room for that. Anyway it goes this will take patients. It's never an easy battle to remove a broken bolt. GL

    Adjusting my BOSS coil overs to compensate for the winch and winch mount and skids and add a little lift as well.

    Problem is, I don't know how many turns equals 1" or how much height you get with each turn.

    Anybody?

    Don't quote me, but I believe most adjustable coilovers are:

    1 full turn = 1/4'' of lift or something similar
