    Do you have a build thread for this? I have a homemade rack system on mine that was made by the previous owner but yours looks a lot better and way sturdier.

    After I painted them I just put a sanding wheel on the dremel and sanded down both the lens and the actual housing edges. Then put a two part epoxy on and let that set just to hold them together again. Once it's set up just go all the way around the light with a black silicone and fill it all in and let it set up and dry. Give it a once over to look for any missed spots and touch it up where you need too.
    Some pretty good info here to help get you going.

    Yanked out the front seats and put on Carheart seat covers. Cleaned the crap out of the interior, and it looks like a truck with just 30k miles on it again. Covers appear to fit well now, look good and feel nice and durable. I drive a lot, llike 600 miles a week, I'll see how these take a beating.

    Pretty easy with this because it will be in the groove between the two parts of your tail lights. So for the most part it will follow it like a track.

    Has anyone color matched the TOYOTA letters on a TRD PRO grill? If you did what did what type of paint did you use? I am thinking about painting my letters super white and wanted to see one if it has been done.

    Drove it to Moab to camp for the weekend, the wife pulled a muscle in her calf spotting me on elephant hill so we had to cut the wheeling/hiking trip short so its sitting next to the camper with red mud and new pinstripes while we soak in the hot springs in glenwood.
