    Not yet. I'm hoping to do it this weekend, but as with most people, hopes and dreams don't always equal reality lol. I'll post up when installed, and at whatever milestone mileage seems reasonable as to how they're running.

    Never seen that foam spray to clean a condenser / radiator before. Did it do a good job of cleaning?

    Replaced my fuel door on my lunch break, so smooth now. I can’t believe I waited so long. Wasn’t far from being completely snapped off.

    Just curious how your back window gutter worked? I put a topper on a few months ago and the water drops on the back window is terrible for visibility.
    Thanks, Michael

    I bought it from a Toyota dealer we buy wholesale from for $45 and had our paint shop paint it at work for $58. Plus the 2 rivets I think I came out okay.

    AC compressor conked out last week and Taco was making all kinds of fun noises going down the road.

    Don't have much time to wrench on the truck these days so I bit the bullet and took it to an old high school buddy's garage to have them swap in a new AC compressor and condenser.

    Finished the Prinsu full rack.. Definitely a game of millimeters when you’re drilling 12 holes in the roof. Used a metric ass load of RTV during each step. Very pleased with the result.

    that looks very good.

    how are your fenders?

    Wanting to do this one day. Currently running flares deleted and fenders all trimmed 1” material removed.
    Looking to trim them even more. Maybe take off another inch. (35’s)
    Hopefully such things are compatible with the C4 liners kit

    Thanks. I took 2.5 in off the fenders and 2 in off the flares. These liners fit very well but if you plan to have no flares it might be a good idea to use their template for the cut. Their template appears to be about 2in. I have one spot where my cut was a little too aggressive but the flare hides it.

    Just out of curiosity, what goes wrong with the fuel door? Mine is a '13 and still latches and feels solid.

    The hinge gets bent/rusty and makes it hard to open and latch correctly. It was such a easy fix I should have done it sooner.

    Thanks, I'll be looking into this too. Mine comes apart sometimes and I have to be careful every time I close it. Such a PITA.

    Yup I hated getting gas because of it. I got the rivets from Toyota since we had the big gun at work. Man they popped haha. Either start spraying the Phillips bolt that holds the clip on now or order those with the door as they don’t come with it.
