    Took mine out to the woods today. Got the first rain of the season, hopefully there will be more so steelhead season will actually open.

    I love getting out of town and seeing spots like this.

    $180. I decided I wanted something a bit better than I could do with a spray can, but that came with a high price tag.

    For the 4th time.......I put my clear headlights BACK in.

    It took me 13 minutes to take the grille off, and replace the headlights. That means I've done this too many fucking times!!!

    They fogged on me so i took them out and siliconed them. Put them in and the right one fogged but not the left.

    Took them out and siliconed the SHIT out of them again and put em back in.

    If this doesn't work then I'm drop kicking them into a ditch!

    I failed. Went camping too often and ended up using anything but an opener (like the trailer hitch). Led to a few broken bottles :(

    Not any more :D

    They are the alloy. They discontinued the rock rings when I bought mine but the guy had a set left. If you can find them then yes they will mount on your's. I know a company that can make them if all else fails.

    I wash my truck twice a week :eek: then dry it off afterwards to keep water stains off. It keeps the rims looking better that way. I've had these rims for 6 years.

    Got the 10k oil change & tire rotation done at Toyota. While waiting I drove an all black 2013 4runner TE with Entune, NFab steps, and some aftermarket 18" pro comps w/275s. They wanted $47k but on sale for $43,900. I told them to take the wheels off since I would be getting a new set of my own anyway and offered them $39k. My salesperson talked to the manager and he wouldn't take the wheels off and stuck to the $43,900 on the window. Oh and the "markup" on the wheels as priced on the window was $7k! I should have taken a pic of that. It was a pretty damn good looking TE though. World Toyota in Atlanta.

    Yeah. I go to buy shit on EBAY and think I might get lucky and get a set of lights. Shame the fuck on me.


    I used GE premium waterproof Silicone II clear.

    It worked amazing on left light. When I redid the right side, I did realize I missed a couple spots.

    I was thinking of going out and washing my truck to test it but I'm not in the mood for a migraine and my Hulk rage to come out. No one and nothing likes me when I'm angry.

    Yeah. I'm praying with you. It did work killer on left one. I put it at the spot where the headlight and the grey plastic back meet and I could see it squish up in between there. Then I put a bead all across it and filled in the holes that the glass snaps into for extra measure.
