Great priced rig
 
The 200 got some much needed attention to the headlights. Thanks @dnp and @offr0adlim0 for the product suggestion. Looks 1000x better initially with no tools needed. Will see how long the cerakote lasts.

Does that product have something that keeps from the plastic polish backlash I’ve always gotten?
A cerakote ceramic coating that you apply at the end.

I used that kit on my GX lights about 2 years ago, and they still look about as good now as they did then. (Actually, to be accurate, I used the GG kit that preceded this Cerakote kit, so Andy’s should last longer than mine.)
 
Prospeed Rack installed!

Selling all my Rock Warrior wheels...

 
Napa Awing installed so @Mrsjynx can make her own shade at field day next week.

Makes 8' look like nothing...

Fresh rotors and pads on order. Will do the AHC lift while I have the wheels off to make room for some new tires.

Fresh Rotors and pads all the way around. Pads looked new, but they were the original rotors. Pads did look dirty and glazed. Should have all that sorted now. Bedded in and ready for the next trip.

Did the AHC lift while I had all the tires off.

Low - Neutral - High (after AHC trick)

I forgot to take before measurements, but in N it measures right around 34.5" (ground to lip) on the lowest corner.

I need to bring the passenger side down about a quarter to match, but the rear is high on the back passenger, but since there is just one sensor for the rear, is there any way to adjust it, or do I just need to get a new spring for the DS rear?

Now ready for new tires and the SLEE sliders.

Thanks
 
@ Mr. & Mrs Jynx: How is the wind noise with the Prospeed rack? When are y'all going to tackle the slider install?
Nothing really noticeable. Just drove 300 mile round trip and other than the occasional jingle of the zippers on the NAPA awning, you'd honestly not know much difference.

Slider install will hopefully be in the next couple weeks when I get a few minutes and maybe a free weekend, or at least a half day. Closest I might come is taking them with me this weekend and doing them in my in-laws driveway.

Hopefully discount will find the 4th TOYO they misplaced before Thursday so we can get the new AT3s mounted up.

@Bomar can you tell me if the LX570 vale stem caps were color matched to the wheels? I swear they had some flake in them like the wheels. Asking because I'm pretty sure the tire shop (whom I am already pretty pissed at) lost all 4 and just put black ones back on... so I now have to figure out how to find some.
 
Well as hard as I tried to get her something else, 275/60R20 Nittos is what she ended up with. Ordered some TOYO AT3s, but the tire shop just couldn't seem to find all 4 at the same time, so Ridge Grapplers it is.

They are just right. She even said that it was the look she wanted for the GX, so I believe she's pleased. So now just lack the slider install and getting the hidden winch mount hidden up front and I think we will be done until @Mrsjynx finds another widget she wants for it.
 
826 miles round trip.

Averaged 9mpg loaded. 5.7 is a beast. 75 uphill, no problem and barely broke 3000 rpm.

I mean this A-hole was on my a$$ all the way home too...

Hell we may just tow the pig to crawl with it this year. Mileage isn't much better than the Ford, but it sure is more comfortable.
