    I replaced the clips at the top of the radiator.
    I remove the small panel to run the wiring for an ambient temp sensor (bob's mirrors).
    6 clips broke. I replaced all nine.

    I build mine on my own, and have removed it and installed it on my own multiple times (mine has full hoops as well). What did you have questions on?

    They look fine on my 4K monitor. Maybe the up scaling is filling it in though.

    thanks a lot! Joe actually ended up cutting notches in that metal piece that has the central hole in it for the tire lowering mechanism, “high & tight” was the goal

    I took my old retrofits off and put these back on. I think FXR 3 inch projectors look great on it.

    I just need to figure out the wiring for the old-school RGB Halos/demon eyes.

    I had these on before but built w aftermarket housing which nobody should ever do. They're color matched Magnetic Grey IMG_20200824_151323058_HDR.jpg

    These are the flat black w FXR's

    IMG_20200916_112501009_HDR.jpg

    I'll post in lighting but does anyone know of a halo driver for this style?? And controller. I have a TRS controller but can't figure the connectors out. IMG_20200916_102940302_HDR.jpg

    Not sure what you are referring to by the hide-away, very happy with the seat heater though!

    Pressure washed my chassis last week after 5 yrs of using fluid film, no rust whatsoever, very impressed with the protection. So today I wanted to try wool wax, I will be using this from now on, no over spray, a little thicker. The pic is after the power wash and before the woolwax. I live in the salt belt. I sprayed it the day I brought it home from the dealer with 12 miles on the clock.

    Looks like a hideaway kicker amp. Sorry if I’m incorrect

    Came with MGM topper. Added FJammer stereo. LED Bed lights on AOB Flux Capacitor Switch. Added AOB Spy Mode switch for TBD lighting, stay tuned.
    F'd up my sun visor because I thought I could fix it.
    I didn't realize it would fall to pieces once I opened it up.

    Gorilla glue doesn't hold btw. When I put it back together, I flipped it down and it just about exploded.
    I guess I'll just have to drive blind or get a new one.

    Also I tried on the presumably 15 year old spare. It still holds air like a champ somehow.
    IMG_20200912_160126065.jpg

    It was needed because my regular tire got screwdrivered

    Nevermind the little girl tread, it's a 5-lug and a DD, so yeah.

    I wish my dad had used this stuff on the Tacoma I have now (I got it when he passed away). Truck spent most of its time in Utah (rust o plenty), but it also did time in Europe and a couple weeks in Africa. According to Toyota, I have "Medium Rust" with no holes.

    ^^ It’s never to late to start, wool wax or FF will stop further rust. Sorry about your dad.
