Which trail?

 

Don't worry bud, I knew you had a good reason

It's a pointless thought. Although I can't complain about how shallow people are nowadays because sometimes they hire me to take their next Instagram photo of their vehicle so that's cool. That's another reason I watermark photos, if people want to pay me so they can be even more shallow that's fucking cool man

 

Nice. I’ve heard good things about the trails in Lyons.

Perfect, tin top, no slider windows, autana lights, post 92 model

 

I saw that and thought "that's Exactly what I want"

 

Gonna have to import that, so it'll be RHD unless it comes from the UAE.

 

The powder-coated valve covers on the 5vzfe have been working out great. Super easy to keep clean. Low maintenance. I'm glad I spent the $80 to get them done.

Since I get the 2uz regularly covered in mud and dirt, I'm thinking about getting the covers for it powder-coated as well. The covers on it look like hell.

For the 2uz, I need to replace valve cover gaskets, do the under plenum service, give it a full mid-life refresh like the Tacoma. Since the coating is more for utility, I'm thinking about using a gray powder coat. I've seen some Lexus blue engine covers. That blue looks a little too flashy for the monotone look on the rest of the truck.

If I were to go with a Toyota red look, it would be like the 5vz.

What do you guys think about grey valve covers? I found a grey valve cover picture below.

No argument with grey, but some other ideas come to mind...

Ivan Stewart orange or yellow might look sharp. Maybe too flashy or too Toyota for a Lexus though?

What color is the truck? Could you match the body color?

I'm sure I've seen pictures before, but I can't remember which is yours.

 

Not flashy.. Subdued monotones. The colors are off-white, tan, and bronze.

 

There is only one proper choice for valve covers.



Yes, they are red. Painted, not powder coated.

 

Also @Empty_Lord. His Tundra valve covers are also gloriously red.

 

Ideas, ideas, ideas.
