GSD Coatings in Keyport does fluidfilm but personally I think woolwax is better. thicker and holds up better and doesn't smell, but is still a lanolin that creeps. I got mine done at a place in staten island that I don't recommend. (I found all kinds of dry spots and they had the right attitude...

What I did on my 3rd gen: Bog standard generic ebay led strip that came on a big spool, except I rubbed off thejunk adhesive it came with and used 3/8 vhb. Wired to a replacement led bulb with banana plugs so it's still removable and didn't touch the trucks wiring, and it has this incredible...

Shims cleaned it up.

Mine came with these but to me they are pretty disappointing. They are in almost the same positions as the regular lights so it hardly improves anything. It's better, just not all that much. In my 3rd gen I ran a couple led strips along the top edge of the windows. *that* was excellent cargo...

I've noted before in passing that it drives me crazy that you can't override the automatic lights in the back. I'm always finding myself working on something in back and the lights just go out after 10 or 15 minutes in the middle of whatever I'm doing and I have to stop, extricate, just to go...

Thanks, will do.

The logo is only held on by vhb.

All because you still can't buy this silly $140 plastic part, and you can't repair it either. I tried to do the heatgun trick but it didn't work worth a crap. Almost but aside from not getting the shape very good, the heat discolored the plastic itself.

Speaking of contact points and vibration+grit, I didn't bother with the shims because it seemed to fit pretty good as it was. But now taking a look in the daylight a day later (I ran out of day while installing and finished in the dark), now I'm wondering if I should use the shims after all. I...

Finally got'er installed a couple days ago. For the record I am totally happy with it. Exactly what I wanted. I thought I was going to be removing stuff that would make this actually a net weight loss, but in the end I decided to leave the crash bar installed. I'm not sure it doesn't help...

Love'em. But I don't think you can go by me because I think I'm either insensitive or just don't care about things other people seem to notice more. Like I think other people have said this tire is a rougher ride but I think it's fine, but then again I think I just like a stiffer ride. These...

This is beyond ridiculous. Manufacturers fuck up all day every day. They also have different priorities than their customers, and that shows all day every day. There has been a countless stream of examples from every company including the holy Toyota since the first car 100 years ago. If it's...

Great. I'm already at 7k and my first change was at 5k. This vehicle should almost not be called a 4runner if you have to treat it so precious. 3rd gen could run on the original factory oil until the LBJs drop at 150k.

I ordered this: https://www.stickerfab.com/products/toyota-oem-replacement-radio-volume-knob-2024-land-cruiser-tacoma-8-2025-4runner-8 ($21.66 at time of writing) It's this: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~knob~90010-23059.html ($16.65 at time of writing) Their price is still $2...

I appreciate the offer. Not necessary but thank you. I just picked it up today in fact. I would have bought it anyway even if I had known that I would still need to put more into it. I wanted aluminum and I wanted a clean line with no winch boat prow. Everyone else's has room for a winch and a...

I'll say one thing though, I said I didn't like the way the overlays look, but I just realized they have one big advantage. They don't have weak worthless paint. The main shell part is like silver polypropylene with black ink or paint that the alcohol didn't touch. The puffy part on the front is...

I used oempartsonline. The parts end up coming from a dealer but the site is like a front end for a bunch of different dealers. You just order parts and they come from whatever dealers have them. And 10% or more cheaper than the toyota site or any of my local dealers. They aren't always the...

The letters only come in bronze (maybe silver too), but the good? news is the paint is worthless. I got the matte black overlays and they look like ass with like a puffy shape, so I used alcohol to loosen the vhb to take them back off, and it dissolves the paint. It's just a thin single coat...

They didn't do a good job. It's a little difficult because I think the guy actually sincerely cared about doing a good job, so I don't really want to shxx on him, but just isn't very good. They missed allllll kinds of spots. I called back the next day to cancel my wifes prius and I wasn't...

This video is actually the best one out there simply for the directions to take the console apart, never mind the actual main intended point.
