    I think as the miles go up, your better off driving it more. Bad things happen when shit sits.

    Yeah, it will be my wife’s daily again once it’s back up and running. I bought her a Honda Pilot with 285k miles on it for $2400 that she has been using in the meantime. Which is also the reason I haven’t been motivated to get the GX fixed

    After working with @justa_white_tacoma he graciously shipped me he is old OEM Headlights off his 05. They were solid but old and weathered which was a great starting point knowing I could bring them back.

    So I tore of out my old busted headlights and got the new to me units installed.

    I started wet sanding with 320 and went all the way up to 2k grit.

    After sanding. (Featuring my not so little and not so enthusiastic helper)
    20230412_131224.jpg

    Next step was a 5 step polish. Using ChemicalGuys V series and a Torq random orbit polisher. Followed by a 1k Clear ( I prefer 2k clear but this is what I had on hand). I did 3 coats waiting 10-15min in-between coats.

    20230412_134239.jpg

    The final product was more than acceptable and im happy to not be riding around with a driver side Headlight that's 60% packing tape.

    Thanks again to @justa_white_tacoma for doing the legwork with shipping and getting these out to me. Just another reason to love TacomaWorld and it's members.

    Got the last of the AirRide system out this afternoon. The battery powered offerings from Milwaukee are such game changers.

    Did some roof rack rearranging today for 2 reasons. Getting rid of some unnecessary weight and ... I wanted my sun roof back. So I ditched one of the rifle cases and consolidated the contents ( about 50LBS ) and moved my Maxtrax's back. It isn't as visually pleasing ( yea I can be vain ) but it's much more functional.

    Ahhhhh. Sweet sweet Sun Roof.
