    I have some OEM lights for you if you screw those up. There are a ton of different home remedies, store-bought, and then sanding/polishing. Do a YT search for "How to Fix Foggy Headlights: 3 Different Methods". The guy from AMMO covers them all. Good luck!

    Got my dash switch installed for my aux backup lights (dash teardown wasn't hard but still a PIA).

    Also topped off the coolant and windshield washer fluid.

    Finished up by ordering my lift kit from headstrong.

    Pads and rotors today. Went with the POWERSTOP K137 kit and overall I’m pretty satisfied.

    I’m waiting to get the scoop to see what coupling it comes with. This guy used the volant scoop. I’m using the AFE. Hopefully the location for the hoses are the same.

    I knew I did something right lol.

    With my 2008 PreRunner with 236k Miles I always used Mobil 1 synthetic. My intervals were 10k mile changes with 5k mile filter changes. I put a ton of miles hauling gravel, pulling trailers ect., and when I sold it she was still purring like a kitten without a hint of smoking or burning of oil.

    She was a faster truck than my current 2005 with 185k miles that has been maintained by jiffy lube its whole life. I've switched over to Mobil 1 to keep whatever horsepower it still has.

    Washed, vacuumed, and installed some led turn signal lights in the back from deautoled. Any recommendations for third brake light leds? Noticed one of my three is out.

    It usually comes with instructions on how to properly bed the pads. Usually requires you to do a full stop from certain speeds.

    I stand corrected no full stops

    Front and rear diff and tcase drain and fill. Was gonna use Amsoil but couldn't find any locally. Advance Auto had Mobil1 on sale so I decided to try that. Figure it can't be garbage. Also installed a pop and lock tailgate lock and underhood led light. Also started figuring out my sleeping platform. I think that instead of something raised I'm gonna go with a 1" piece of foam insulation board with some luan backer. This way I can sit up in bed without smacking my head on the roof of the cap.
