SO... I looked at these and I just need more space in the bed and a V8 or diesel. for what you like to do it should be adequate. If you keep taking the bike (or a bike) to the track you might find it is not enough (without an enclosed trailer)

we haul too much firewood and project stuff to even think it was useful. Sylvia would prefer 8 feet of bed space and I hear about it every single time we haul stuff.... but she still complains about "how big" the tundra is to drive. Wait until I'm in a DJ sized truck

Thanks man! That means a lot coming from the detail god! For you I will drop some random pics of it doing it's usually "badassery". I'm really bad about keeping up with things.

I was under the impression that he restored the exterior of the lenses. Maybe that's not the case? How would sealing them help if the haze was on the exterior?

After polishing the exterior, you need to apply a sealant to the lens to protect the newly polished plastic from UV light, which is what makes them cloudy in the first place.
