The regular kit comes with UV block already - that appears to be a less comprehensive kit you can use if you don't need to sand your headlights down.
Thanks
I don't have much on there, but I'm slowly working on it!

Drove the trails to the Deep Creek Hot Springs Trailhead and then hiked to the Hot Springs. Lots of people using the hot springs on a Wednesday afternoon...
I left my sunroof open and it rained. Need I say more?
Thankfully, the car mats caught a majority of water.
Removed the seats, put fans and heater in car and stuffed towels under wet carpet. I was sunny and dry and nearly all of the carpet was dry within 48hrs. There were a few damp spots from padding and the towels do a great job of absorbing.
Osmosis is your friend and change the towels even 8 to 12 hours to dry carpet and padding.
Seats are in the house drying for a few more days. It seems all the electonics still work.
It goes back together over the weekend.

A dehumidifier is useful in this situation if you have one. Button up the vehicle and put it inside. Works very well to get everything out.
Bled both mine and a buddy's brakes (his is an '04).....HUGE improvement in pedal feel and braking performance, long overdue and $0!!!
Anything special needed? I thought I had read somewhere you had to have the key on.
Key to ON position to allow ABS module to push fluid throughout. Other than that:
- 10mm wrench for the bleeder nipple nut.
- 3/16" ID hose
- Plastic catch bottles (I went through two 12 or 16 oz bottles)
- Gloves and paper towels
- Full bottle of DOT 3
After going solo on mine, did my buddy's together in half the time. Just BE SURE to keep the fluid reservoir at/slightly above the MAX line - you don't want it to go too far below MIN during this procedure to ensure you don't introduce any air which is a time-consuming process to fully purge.
REALLY nice to have fresh, incompressible fluid back in there. Night/Day difference, really glad I finally did this. Was tired of a 4-3 gear downshift to aid slowing down on occasion.
I just got my new rack and alignment dialed in. Getting hood vinyl done and mounting up the new Tandem Auto GX wheels later today. Almost ready to hit Moab, Rubithon, and FJ Summit this summer!
Thanks for the motivation. I used the Mother’s with the chuckable polishing pad. It’s like night and day. I went ahead and did my 1st gen Taco, too.
Wheels and vinyl!
Looks really nice with the matching black wheels and black vinyl
Damn Dan, that looks good. I'm glad you went with the vinyl - not only does it look awesome, but now it won't look like we're copying you as much when we try and upgrade our own white rig.
Changed the rear diff fluid yesterday and then drove down to Big Sur for some backwoods R&R:

Ditched my new Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s that would not balance after 5 attempts for Nitto Terra Grapplers. It’s a totally different truck, I’m so much happier even though I liked the look of the Falkens better.
Nitto is winning the war on a really well made tire that is round. Terra Grapplers don't have the best sidewalls so be careful!
I was super surprised how well my older P rated Terra Grapplers held up pre-lift. Obviously these are LT’s but I will certainly keep that in mind.
Jumped on the headlight restoration bandwagon with the Sylvania kit...I did the headlights and the fog lenses at the same time.
Nicely done. I wish I had thought of doing them both at once!
Would it be possible to take a pic of where the washers are supposed to be on the SPCs? I suspect the guy that installed mine may have done them incorrectly!
I have a pair waiting to go in. But want to wait til my stage 2 bumper from SSO comes in And install everything one time!
