    Gave my 2007 Prerunner a bath and then went over it with clay/lube. I first thought modeling clay? Really? But man, what a difference it made! The surface was smooth as glass, even in those sun-cracked areas. Followed up with Mother's CMX ceramic coating.

    I'm really happy with how it turned out. For a 13 year old truck, she looks pretty good!

    You'll need a cab mount chop as well if you haven't done it yet.

    Nice. I went straight from a stock 30.5 to 37's so I only know what I've read about the other sizes available.

    I got 3 1/2 hours sleep last night due to medical issues. It's time for lunch and some sleep (hopefully).

    I think the biggest reason people don't think their 37s is because you haven't trimmed fenders and have a wheel gap like you would with a 3 inch lift and 33s. Also you don't see alot of 37s on tacomas. 285s are only and inch skinnier than 12.50s and being 4 inches taller proportionately it doesn't look as big/wide. My 37s seem skinny to me compared to my 35s because thier taller. If you had a 10inch wide wheel and more poke they would probably look massive.

    I was going to do general grapplers before I did the BF mud terrain but I just saw too many negative reviews on them

    Added Bilsteins on the 3rd notch and a 2” AAL. Made a huge difference on top of the 4” lift I already had on it.

    Finally got a set of new headlights. Went with TYC exact replacements as I do not like the look of aftermarket ones; most have that "Bro Truck" look (if that offends you, I'm not sorry...). You ask, why didn't I just sand down and refinish the old ones? The passenger was cracked somewhere and fogging up, plus the new ones shipped to my door were less than $115.

    Passenger new, drivers old:
