Yesterday was the one year mark of owning my truck. Here’s a picture of the first day I brought it home.

And I rolled over 10,000 miles. Was happy that I kept it under 10k for the year.

~15 months for me & a little over 20k.
3 trips to the dealer for sunroof fixes, rattle free so far.

Glad we haven't gotten much of that white stuff from your prior post. 29* on my drive to work this morning, dry luckily.

Love the headlights! I plan to retro mine soon. Can you share why you’re not 100% happy with how they came out? Care to share any tips/tricks you learned from doing your retro? Thanks.

Dang, I haven’t had any issues yet. How are you getting that many miles, work commute?

Well, I didn’t modify these lights. I bought them already modded. I have some experience with retro fitting projectors, I used to do it when I drove Honda’s.

The issue I’m running into is, the headlights are aimed to high, even when I adjust them as low as they will go. I may have to open them up for a second time and see if I can adjust how the actual projector sits in the housing.

~40 miles round trip, 5 days a week commute to work.
A round trip from Houston to Albuquerque
A couple trips to Dallas & Austin
Plus a few field office visits for work which were 3-5 hour drives one-way.

Here’s a picture for anyone considering tinting their front windshield. Mines at 55%
