    The chromatic photo cut off line is a bit blue/ purplish, but if you can get past that they are a world of difference. I'd reckomend them. They're new so I can't atest to longevity yet. But well get there

    I finally leveled my lights 4 years later after lifting the truck. I am no longer blinding ppl.

    I got my driver seat tear fixed and cushioned, it's taking some getting used to, sitting much higher till I break it in. 100$ well spent, my buddy is doing his sequoia seat today

    Added an LED strip to the camper shell for tailgate lighting, it doubles as inside shell lighting while the shell is closed for camping, I had to hot glue it on so it would stick, the 3m tape wasn't enough. Working on cleaning up the wiring, currently running off a 12v Milwaukee battery, i will be connecting it to the main battery this weekend.

    I got under it today and the driver side sway link was super loose and rattling! I ordered the thin wrench MetalPete recommended to get at the Maxx extended links and tighten down :fingerscrossed:

    This hit my soul.

    Busy day today...

    Oil and filter
    Installed PIAA wipers since I've only used Rain-X for as long as I can remember on all my cars and they really just seem to work terribly on the Tundra.
    Lubed all 8 zerks on the driveshaft
    Lubed the SPC UCAs
    (Finally) installed the Trail Gear LSPV brake bias extension ~3 years after lift
    IMG_2266.jpg

    Repurposed the rear diff breather extension I had left over from my Frontier. Perfect fit. If I recall correctly, the union was a Toyota part when I installed it on the Frontier so makes sense. The Club Frontier guys recommended using an in-line fuel filter to prevent any dust/debris from being sucked back into the line. The i/d of the tube was too small to fit the OEM breather on this one, so I think it'll work fine this way.

    Ran out of time, so tomorrow I'll finish up with the power steering fluid, and tire rotation and any other odds and ends I can think of.

    Thanks, I'll keep them in mind if these don't work out. I was just driving through snow yesterday and the Rain X were leaving a 4" streak right in my line of sight driving down the highway. Literally weren't touching the windshield. Trashed.
