    Yep, no need to be an ass on the trail. And no need to fly on it either, you just hit pavement on the other end haha. It's only like 2-3 miles if I remember correctly.

    I believe the fun side of tray mountain is perma-closed. @iK0NiK likely knows better than I do

    10/10 would not recommend a DIY wrap. Haha. It suuuuuucked. But it looks great…from 10ft away.

    Ran out of materials to do the bumpers, gotta order some more.

    close up of why it sucks?

    on another note....LOOK AT YOU!!!! I had no expectation of you actually being the one to wrap it....but that does look pretty good! I think I see some air bubbles on that headlight?

    To get rid of the air bubbles you prick them with an razor blade and heat shrink. I have don’t many wraps for my old job, and that’s how you get rid of them.

    Finally getting back around to list of stuff for my taco - got a vibration/noise ever since the wreck and from hours of late night reading on here sounds like clutch on AC compressor likely.... sounds pretty common anyone here replaced it and got lucky didn't have to go full ac system fix $$ compressor condenser etc? Sounds like most places try to make you buy a new compressor with clutch vs sourcing the clutch separate but few on ebay etc. Also anyone got these cheap HF ac guages ? work aright enough to use every blue moon or so when I actually need them?

    Yeah man, I’ll take some pics of the bad areas in a bit. There are def bubbles in there; like @Built2Ride said, I plan to poke with with an exacto, I just haven’t yet. Still trying to put it back together. Gotta get the mirrors bolted back and the doors put together.

    My AC is doing a weird thing where it will blow and then just stop. Then it will blow and then just stop again.

    I'm thinking it is the fan blower resistor. Anyone have any similar experience?

    So here’s some of the worst areas. The seams didn’t go right, but it’s okay enough I can live with it. It’s not like im gonna rip up the whole thing now.

    Is it the fan or the actual AC? When my resistor went out, the fan would work erratically on anything that wasn’t HIGH. To test, see if it works on high and then try wiggling the resistor when in a slower speed.

    Yes... You're prob right but check the pigtail to the actual blower motor and get the resistor kit with long pigtails too. If it's like mine you'll find more than few inches of compromised wiring. The pigtail to the blower motor melted on mine as well I ended up having to replace the whole set up, but at least it's super easy.

    I bet you money is the Main AC Relay. Happens a lot after some miles on the truck. Seriously just change it out.

    I just bought like 3 truck payments worth of parts from Toyota.

    Resistor and harness were $60 of it. I'll maybe install that tomorrow.

    Also decided to buy OEM LCAs, so I won't need those from @MDB Taco . Thank you for being so willing. Also, I bet those air bubbles come out with time.

    Rounding out the purchase today was a new evap canister. That's been overdue for a while now.

    Rotated my tires tonight and found a torn sway bar end link. The joys of an aging truck.
