a yellow or amber film will make a noticeable difference in bad weather. i really like how they took on our trucks

It really doesn't affect your vision at all. It just makes it easier for other drivers to see you

Some colors are just easier on the eyes so personally yellow helps my vision during crazy weather.

Not only it provides better visibility, It really saves your fog glass lense from nasty rock chip...

Anyone consider Lamin-x-ing both the fog and the turn signal? That way they would match. I think that would look kinda cool, at least it seems cool-looking in my head.

that's not true, yellow light makes it easier to see in fog and snowy conditions because the light doesn't reflect off of the moisture in the air as much making it easier to see further.

I'm probably gonna make a trip up to hidden falls this summer! my ranch is up in blanco so its around that area. Hopefully i'll get tires + bilsteins in a couple weeks so i'll be more trail ready.
Yesterday, I decided to tackle the brake vibration I was having with my front rotors. Seems like the pedal would pulse and the truck would lurch as speed decreased while braking. I assumed worn rotors or pads.
Got some new pads from Toyota, pulled the existing pads that looked nearly new (also Toyota, likely changed when the truck was certified last year). Rotors didn't look terrible, but had some suspect rusty bits around the edges and looked like they may have been turned at least once.
In any case, I didn't trust them so I pulled them and replaced with NAPA Ultra Premium rotors and the new Toyota pads. Now the truck stops like a dream, no pulsing. In retrospect it could have been a bed-in issue with the pads that were on there, but eh, whatever, it's fixed now.
I was going to also bleed the brake fluid, but the fluid in the reservoir looked crystal clear and was likely replaced last year as well, along with the pads.
Today I Seafoamed and then swapped the spark plugs with NGK Iridiums (62k, ahead of schedule but I like to change plugs around 60k personally). Not alot of smoke from Seafoam, I guess the motor was cleaner than I imagined. The original plugs looked a little dirty, but not too bad. The back pasenger plug looked a little gnarly, though.
Runs like a top! Nothing else due on this truck maintenance wise until an oil change later this year, and arguably a power steering fluid change.
