What have you done to your ride lately?

I did the headlight restore on my Tacoma once. I did not seal or wax the lens material which allowed them to fade again.

Clear coat them or they will fade again rather quickly

the kit came with some kind of UV protectant coat which gets applied at the very end. I’ve also tried to routinely apply this to all my headlights at least once a year and it’s seems to help ward off the fading

Not my Toyota, but my ride did not take long to find a screw. I was planning to replace the OEM tires at 1k miles but now the front is getting replaced sooner. I put a plug in it and took it for a ride for dinner. The TPMS system alerted me the tire was going flat at road speeds. Thankfully I was able to get the bike to a safe speed and off the road as it was getting to 5 psi.

My front passenger side shock blew out on the S60, so I found a Volvo dealer that does free shipping and good discounts to order the parts for it. Just waiting for those parts to get shipped. I also ordered new OEM pads and rotors for the front as well since it's almost time to replace those as well.

I installed Ohlins suspension w/ remote resivores today on the Road Glide. The test ride with the Sammich Maker after confrmed they were a perfect upgrade.

Also installed new adjustable levers on the Road Glide. These are really light, have interchangeable ends, and are adjustable. They are a few nice steps better than the OEM wide flat levers.

Took the truck to Discount this afternoon and had TPMS sensors added to the wheels and tires I got from @tex. Only one of my stock sensors was still good. One was completely dead and two others showing low battery. So I had all new sensors put in. Next up on the ride's 150k mile refresh is suspension (just trying to find the best deal on a Dobinsons kit) and getting the paint touched up, PDR for the hail damage, and getting the clear coat on the roof fixed. After that I'll start freshening up the interior.

Those wheels are sexy. They are very similar to the AEV wheels I have on my Colorado. I do like the color of yours better. When these shitty tires on the Colorado wear out I am planning to powdercoat mine (bronze) and add the true beadlock rings on it... with a set of true 35's. Not the metric equivalent.

Well if you get BFG's then it'll be 34" tires since BFG uses Penis measurements for their tire sizes

Just spent 12 hours in a lifted F250 on 37" tires on those new Toyo RT Pro's and they are pretty quiet....hard to hear them over the straight exhaust, cold air intake, and a blow off valve that was working half the time lol

That's Mr Asshole to you
After having the rack on for about 5 days, I removed it and posted it for sale. I really have no use for it, and no future plans require it, so it will find a new home.
