Mall crawlers page let's see em

Put my vote in again for critter of the month

 

this is not my truck, just trying to get a picture of what white letter out on wheels will look like to justify getting them switch-a-roo
don't know how else to compete with other crawlers OR peek out of the black shadows locally... its bad! 5 black vehicles at stop light yesterday and 2 rolling on other side of street
custom red plates might do it tricked up as well as LineX
dealer service advisor said my truck is bulletproof so gotta do something you know (8 more years to qualify for state historic plates!)








red custom plates

Oto Indian word means 'flat water'

 

my mall crawlin' lower shield on the fuel tank, finally got it back after a couple weeks
sandblasted, powdercoated and going to get put back on with fresh new bolts sprayed with WD40 Corrosion inhibitor spray and/or anti seize lubricant
how long will this last until gets all funky like it was before

 

Man I love Lexuses(or is it Lexii?)! A lot of peep don't like the style of Lexus but I think the Lexus line is just gorgeous man. Yours is no exception

 

That white mini truck and the black mini that are slammed are baaaaaaaaad! Love the pics man

 

I only see a broken image thingy where pic should be

 

From now on, on any bolts you remove, make sure to put anti sieze on the threads before putting back in. That is the best(kinda the only really, that works) corrosion inhibitor. It comes in little jar with a brush attached to lid usually and you just brush it on before putting bolt or screw on

 

i just copied from email, not sure what the deal is, i can see it 0k on my pc
will save to documents and reload it

 

Yeah no sweat, just wanna see this bad boy

 

did it show up for you now?

 

Yep, good looking. That piece is now good for the next couple to few decades

 

i could take my truck to dealer lot that has one of the Corolla hatchbacks in black and get a pic to see about the fit
really have my eyes on the flame blue one with black grille that really stands out in the front
very hard to find that color in 6sp MT (locally)...

 

as long as it doesn't scratch (from rocks road debris, or neighbors curb lol), i wasn't sure how easy the powdercoat can scratch, unless they did it wrong!
its already scuffed some from sliding on the plastic liner

 

<<< this vs this >>>

the wd40 it says should be reapplied yearly, so take all bolts/screws out and reapply, spray on the threads and top

 

Yeah people build some cool shit! Thanks I been searching through my old pics for Yotas I think that’s the majority of them

 

It can chip, and prolly will but stay on top of spraying the the chips with black rustoleum and should last

 

Yup, every bolt removed for you from now on gets anti seize before going back in. Don't do or worry about the yearly whatever thing wd40 says

 

urghhh now i gotta redo all wheel molding screws I am almost done replacing
there are 26 of them ... for some reason the mudflap screws never got weathered like the molding ones have

 

All about the experience my man... You're gonna be turning a wrench so good that you never knew was possible. 90% of stuff is just steps of removing bolts and clamps etc to get to things and then reinstalling. And there are so many good videos that people have shared! Power to the people! DIYers world wide unite!
Corporations and businesses can suck it! Blood sucking vampires just want more and more of our hard earned dinero

Edit: oops sorry critter... I got off thread topic. I'm done
