Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Im sure they are as you state. You could shine your stock headlights onto a garage door or similar to see how potent the lights are and then swap and confirm that you are getting similar if not better results with the new lights. Worst case you can spend like $17 to get a restore kit for the stock headlights. It took me about 40 min to do both.

 

I tried one of those kits on our older Sienna van, and it didn't work or didn't last very long. I took a long time to do it too! Wet-sanded with either 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper, used the restore chemical crap and buffed the crap out of it. Just didn't last long enough to make it worth the time or effort.

 

Yea true time will tell whether or not the kit I did will be worth a damn to be honest. If that is the case, then give the new ones a shot!

 

Good explanation.

I used the Turtle Wax restorer on my passenger side headlight at the beginning of the year. It barely lasted 6 months. I bought a Meguires kit for 3x the price. Hopefully, it will last longer.

 

I need to do something with my lights soon. They're very very foggy.

 

Howdy folks... Anyone in need of some furniture?

Hit me up with an PM.

I also have the rear leaf springs from @Coot83's TX Pro (turned out to be the same set on my 3rd Gen, but are an upgrade from stock 2nd gen - also free...

 

Does that make them Fog Lights?

 

I would be interested in the rear leaf springs!

 

They are yours! Just come and get 'em.

 

Dude are you moving again!??

 

Nope. Finally sold the old house, and need to get rid of the furniture we left there for "staging"... My new place is AMAZING. Need to have everyone out some time... Sit around a fire, drink some libations, and shoot the bull...

 

I'll take the house if it's free too.

 

Sorry. It sold.

 

But nice try!

 

Funny, wife and I had looked at that house online before when we were window shopping.

 

It was a great home. But now that it’s just me and the wife, it’s WAY to big.

 

What is the best way to clean under the hood? (engine etc.) I'm not too proud of how dirty mine is . In fact, I don't even know how it got so dirty.

 

I've just sprayed mine down before with a spray nozzle on a garden hose before. You could take it by a spray-n-wash and do the same thing. Just don't use the high pressure spray.

 

I finally took measurements from the ground to my front and rear fenders and found that my back actually does sit about 1.5" higher (I sometimes thought it was just in my head). I'd like to have my truck sit a little more level. Right now I have 5100s set at the highest setting in the front and a 1.5" progressive aal in the rear.

I was wondering if maybe new coils would help me get a little more lift in the front. I have a few friends as well as my brother who had installed 2.5" or 3" lifts, whether it be spacer lifts or cheaper struts, but their trucks all seem to sit higher in the front. Also, a little more lift would help with the rubbing from my tires (33x12.50). Thanks.

 

You could get a set of OME coils and put the billies down to 0 setting. The coils are longer and heavier spring rating, and will make for a better ride while still producing the lift. The preload on your stock coils must cause for a harsh ride methinks. Plus if those are original coils, they probably are worn down pretty good.

Also depends on where you are rubbing. If you are rubbing the fender flares a dremel will take care of that pretty quick.
