    Still debating what color to go with or just leave them like they are. I've wanted LC rims for a long time, even when I had my 4runner.

    If they "look awesome", why would you want to hide them under cheesy black paint? :confused:
    Then, they would be invisible. I can maybe see painting ugly old steelies, but brand new alloys?
    Can someone explain this bizarre, but popular, compulsion to me?

    Been reading a lot of posts about removing rusty bolts and nuts today and one guy's comment about Aero Kroil. That stuff is AMAZING but speedy. I recently read a post about a homemade remedy on this forum. It's a 50/50 mixture of ATF (transmission fluid) and Acetone. I recently mixed some up to see if it worked and its even better than Kroil. I'll post a link to the data that supports that opinion as soon as I can find it...

    Wouldn't mind hearing thoughts on this, I've been using liquid wrench up to this point. Later in the week I'll be replacing the stock header on my 170,000 mile '02 with one from LCE and wouldn't mind having a few tricks up my sleeve for loosening up those studs!
