    Recently got 2012 5 lug with 68k miles. Love the gas mileage and little truck.

    After reading forums on tires, put bigger ones on last night. 235/75s. Much better ride.

    Now have to convince wife of other mods...

    That's my next project. Trying to decide between polishing these or new ones. These have some internal lens discoloring.

    Polished them today- not much better. Discolored on the inside of lens. Guess they aren't sealed good. Probably gonna look at some replacements.

    Today's projects: cleaned front bumper and painted grill and emblem.

    Have read many entries on doing this, I'd like to do the BHLM, but inside of lens is discolored- maybe easier to get another set already done.

    If you take an orbital sander with a polishing pad and automotive polish you can get them to like new. If you open them up to do the BHLM you could potentially polish out the discoloration as well. Just make sure to clear when done to increase the longevity.
