    Lots baby!

    This is a piece of acrylic material (plexiglas) cut and etched with a laser. In this case, the logo was painted RR. It is bonded to the stock cover with VHB (very high bond) tape.

    I am making a few for some of the crowd at XRU. If any TW people would like some, feel free to PM me.

    Are those two bolts there to help remove the drum or are they normally bolted in place??

    I took one of my rear drums off and it is not bolted in place at all, just the wheel studs hold it there.... wondering if this is the cause of a noise I am getting.

    No those bolts are not normally there.
    Those two bolts are what you can use to get your drums off easily. you get them started and alternatly screw them in, this will then push the drum off the axle.
    After a while the drums can become a pain in the ass to remove, espically over the years. But those threaded holes are there for removing the drums.

    first picture is of some sparco mudflaps i put on to replace the factory ones. i cut out pieces of aluminum and painted them black, and bolted them to the bottom to give the bottom a little weight and some contrast.

    in the second picture i color matched the gauge surrounds.

    in the third picture i color matched the dash/radio assembly (inspired by the fj cruiser).

    in the fourth picture i got my hands on some carbon fiber vinyl and wrapped parts on the overhead console and the little triengular pieces on the top/front of the front doors.

    last picture is them installed.

    thanks, it's litterally a half hour, $5 mod...and 25 minutes of the time is waiting for the paint to dry. thy pop right out, then sand them real lightly, and give them a few coats.
