    DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TELL MY WIFE ABOUT THIS!!!!!

    I'm a little ADHD I guess, go all out on this detailing shit...

    I use Meguiars NXT Generation Car Wash A Porter Cable 7424 XP for polishing and applying waxes. I use the Klasse stuff on the outdoor vehicles: On the windows I use the Meguiar’s NXT Generation Glass Cleaner and on the wheels Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray Aerosol then for my toy car (also my sons car when he gets older), I go all out with IMG_2937_8a4a4f090ff4c6b8eac0935d69fd45a6fa4d44f4.jpg

    PS. This is accompanied by a wide selection of micro-fiber towels, buff pads and other cleaning crap...:)

    They do, just need some minor modification and cutting.

    Anyone know if the stock bilsteins from my '10 Tacoma will fit my wife's '05 4Runner? I'm putting the 3" OME on my taco tomorrow and would like to use my stock billies for the 4Runner, since its starting to get up there in miles.

    The rears wont work without an eye to stud adapter. I would bet money the fronts work, but not 100%.

    Fronts will work. For the rear you'll need FJ/4runner setup.

    Do any of you third gen guys HATE the motorized antenna? Mine recently stopped working (thankfully), unfortunately it's stuck up... :(

    I want to put the Tacoma whip style antenna on it. I can just see me on a trail and hitting a branch or something with it and just having it snap off.
