Default What did you buy for your GX on black fri/cyber Monday?

I bought a new set of depot sport headlights for mine, they were on sale (I think it was a sale) for $129/ea. Mine aren't horrible but I get sick of buffing them several times a year to clear the yellowing. In non GX related purchases, I bought a new set of coilovers for my DD Infiniti, a drone that shoots pics and vids I plan to use while I off-road in the truck or while racing my ATV, and a sweet military spec Casio G-Shock watch which helps me feel younger and relive my Marine Corps days.

Oil change and a new set of front brakes (rotors + pads). The previous owner had put drilled + slotted rotors on there and they couldn't be turned, and I was getting horrible steering wheel shake, so went back to OEM. Smooth stops again, but they do require a little more pedal travel (which might be because they're new).

Yup, have to bed the pads in a bit before you get a normal pedal.

Put on a set of 04 Sequoia 17" wheels + 265/70 Nitto Terra Grappler + an oil change. Loving it so far.

4wheelparts had a sale on Method Wheels. Purchased 5 Method NV black wheels. Just arrived the other day and they look nice. Pics to follow after I mount the tires. Currently debating whether to keep 32" or upsize to 33" with the new wheels.

Let us know what you think of those lights? I'm thinking of getting those and replacing the projectors with Acura TL's. I currently have the HID conversion but not as good as the real HIDs.

I have HID's in my factory housings, and they're just as good as the factory projectors in my Infiniti, and just as good as the Infiniti projector retrofit I did in my old 3rd gen 4Runner. Either way, I'm not installing the headlights until spring, the truck is stored for the winter currently.
