Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Funny, I said I hadn’t seen a AG 4Runner in person yet and what do I see coming into work today? life is weird.

 

It’s a curse I’m always curious to see what people are trading in.

 

The plans I had for it are turning out to be not feasible so I want something bigger. I’ll probably get a tundra.

 

Autotrader shows 31 AG Tacos nation wide.

 

I thought I was being super special with my AG. Then a neighbor a few blocks down gets an AG 4Runner... and another neighbour around here has an AG FJ Cruiser.

Hopefully we all just have good taste

 

Tried my hand at detailing with a DA polisher for the first time today.

It’s definitely one of those things...easy to learn, harder to master. Tomorrow will be an IPA wipe, followed by Cquartz UK 3.0 ceramic coating.

Wanna come do mine?!

I’ve put some good scratches on it already going up some tighter trails. I’m not sure if I should buff it out or just put some back to black type stuff on it?

 

You can’t really polish the unpainted flares, but any of the “blackening” products would reduce the visibility. I’ve also heard using a heat gun on the flare will help it self heal a bit.

Pin striping could be reduced by about 80% very easily with a quick polish.

I’d really love you get some bulk strips of XPEL to put along my bedside to help with that.

 

I’ll give something a shot this weekend and try to get some out of there.

I have the front bumper, hood, mirrors, apillars, sunroof and rear tailgate done in xpel and damn I’d love to put it on the whole truck but it’s just too $$$. I even think I could order the precut ones and do it myself for the rear doors and bed but I’d rather spend that on other mods.

 

Expel the sunroof ?

 

Damn, that looks sweet. Any issues since the install? Those tires loud, kill MPG?

 

A pillars plus the 6-10inches between the top of the windshield to the sunroof*

 

Sounds like you need to hook up w/ @TRD Ted!

Full paint correction followed by Cquartz UK 3.0 plus Reload completed! Solid day and a half in the driveway.

Pictures don’t really do it justice.

 

Took the Trail route home today it was nice to get out on a dirt road drive.

 

I’ve been debating on this size in the Cooper ST maxx’s and the KO2’s in 265/75 because I need something that will do a lil better in snow. Those Km3’s look badass on your truck though what did you pay after install if you don’t mind me asking

 

Also curious on that here... Comments vs K02s?

 

My 285/75 KO2s arent loud, has a light hum at highway speeds but nowhere as loud as MTs, imo.

 

Ordered 4.88s from nitro gear today and I’ll be heading over to their shop for install sometime in the next month or two. Have my OV tune but I haven’t flashed it to the truck yet.

Finished the rear firewall and rear doors in sound deadening, got the black door handles on! I’ll finish up the front doors tomorrow and post some pics! Sound is so much better, don’t have to turn the radio up as loud and it keeps all the road noise down.
