    Started de-badging. Took off the “PreRunner V6 SR5” badges. Doors are next, but I think I’m gonna leave the ones on the left side of the tailgate.

    Painted my lower bumper grille with satin black Krylon Fusion paint. I think it looks so much better than the faded out gray before. I scuffed it up real well with a paint remover drill attachment, which gives it the texture you see. I was worried it would look like crap but it turned out pretty cool. Let me just say that it was a bitch getting that grille off. I had to remove the whole bumper to get to all of the clips holding it on. I don't plan on doing that again anytime soon.

    Took advantage of the weather and put a touchup coat of flat black rustoleum on the newly installed rear bumper.

    What should’ve been a three minute install, took longer due to a bad bolt! But got it in and it cleans that hole up. Well if you don’t mind the dust lol.

    I've seen wheels set up on custom stands and glass placed on top to make tables. They look cool.
