I have no idea why, but I really like that. Ha ha. What made you decide on red?

 

I saw a pic on the Katzkin group buy of a white truck with red interior and I thought it looked good. I'm really happy with it.

 

You going to do the door panels, carpet etc. any color?

 

Finished paint for the most part. Just waiting on my bumpers and sliders. They will be painted the Light gray.

 

I will probably do the door panels.

 

What kind of paint is that??

 

Mgm?

 

Well the color. It doesn't have gloss and it kinda looks like Line-X or Monstaliner. Wasn't sure. Just curious.

 

Looks pretty metal flaky to me

 

It is a brand called Custom coat. In addition there is a pearlizer mixed in, it is almost a color you have to see in person.





The light gray is also the same, gray pigment with pearlizer. It almost looks like a metallic crackle powder coat.

When the sun hits the side you get a charcoal pearl.


Then on the dark side of the moon.


Very up close.

 

How the heck did you do That? That annoys the crap out of me

 

I replaced my 4WD actuator on my front diff yesterday. Had no snow in my area last winter so did not need it for that, but was annoying to pull the lever back and see no green light, no 4WD engagement. Changed gear lube too, obviously.

 

Not just you but many posts with Not a single picture of their trucks at all?..... nice u took care of it

 

Thats how u know im mexican. Did my lawn 3 times this week

Lmao!!

 

There are instructions from Toyota out there that walk you through it... If you can't find them I'll see if I can get them out of my owners manual.

 

skipped a lot of pages ... computer was down waiting on my solder gun to be returned so I could fix the either port... also for any one with the same issue, me and a friend worked on a buddies 98 last night and helped him cut the alignment cam bolts off along with some other work... those bolts are stupid hard...we spent pry 2 hours and a $hit ton of blades (we only had a sawzall -not ideal) on the drivers side bolt alone.

other side took about 2 min with one blade after a home depot run for more;

Yeah but did you do a pattern in the lawn with a reel mower or just the lazy old white guy way of mowing a lawn where it looks like they were drunk and needed to get it done quick because Pawn Stars/Swamp People was on and wife was cooking dinner in the microwave

 

Sweet new cam bolts
