    I’m borderline anal about keeping the salt off my cars. But this rust wasn’t my doing. It was the PO. But I don’t think it was just them. This is the only Toyota/Lexus vehicle from the past decade that I’ve seen rot like this. Something ain’t right because my buddy’s 08 Camry has less rust. And his was rarely ever washed more than 2x a year.

    something ain’t right with the rust proofing on this truck.

    Cerakoted and installed a Gibson exhaust, looks and sounds pretty sharp considering it's a V6. We'll have to see about any drone from within the cab on the highway.

    Also discovered that an airbrush is not the ideal tool to use for Cerakoting an exhaust, even if it worked really well on an AR-15 in the past.

    Yes it is, I got the slimline bumper before they made the full bumper. I would go with the full, much cleaner look.

    Looks like a cheap factory bolt and of course major rust and corrosion at play here. My advice - replace all rusted bolts, screws, brackets with American made Stainless Steel. I did this on day #1 on everything under my 2020 Tacoma truck. Sure its a pain in the ass. Yes - it's expensive to do this.

    For those cheap Toyota brackets - there are lots of machine shops that will re-make a bracket for you in Stainless Steel. Either that or get another and have it powder coated (cheaper option).

    Like you - I hate having a bolt rust out like this - and I did this to a lot of my bolts on my Harley as well.

    I've a few places I buy my stainless steel bolts from:
    Nickel Systems: https://www.nickel-systems.com/
    AALL AMERICAN Fasteners: https://www.aallamericanfasteners.com/index.php
    Portland Bolt: https://www.portlandbolt.com/

    Good luck!

    I had heard they had some kind of package for two additional omni-directional ports in the rear, but I didn't like how it looked. So I did it myself with the parts that I thought would look *better*. I moved the Media port from the dash to the center console and put in the CPlay2Air so I can have wireless carplay. Works great. I also have a 12v charge port so I can plug in my USB-C Apple Mag charger. So far no issues and I love how it looks.

    Debating getting 3M installed...I live in Alberta where the winters are long & they use alot of gravel on the roads. Anyone have thoughts, if so, what did you do (full wrap, just the hood, front, etc?). I have a buddy who sells/installs professionally & said it's about $1200 for entire front, hood, roof & mirrors. Seems like a lot but if it's worth it i don't mind paying. Just wondering if your fronts are chipping badly? I have a Voodoo & I'm sure it'll show all the chips worse than my old Silver

    Got my headlights warranty out due to the clear coat peeling (have just over 20k and 1 month left of warranty). I asked if I could swap the fin insert with my mgm fillers and my SA said he’ll take care of it.

    it wasn’t until I got home to coat the lights that I noticed a huge scratch in the same spot you see then (that’s why I’m the installation it says to add protective tape!). Still waiting to hear back about this. Also found the passenger bumper was loose so I started to do my thing and start removing the bumper to find the problem- tech first pulled the flare to far out and started to rip the 3m tape and the lower flare tab is almost split in half, looks like a screw driver indent on the other side with a hardly visible scratch, the black plastic bumper retainer (bumper guide) is broken so now it won’t even stay in place which therefor won’t hold the bumper tight in place. The red push pin that inserts has 1 of 4 tabs broken so it doesn’t hold secure, the plastic that the headlight bolt is inserted to is broken so the doesn’t secure there either. Now I don’t feel bad about pushing further on a replacement

    so in the meantime I took 2 washers and sandwich the plastic then inserted headlight bolt so i have it tight/secured. I would much rather have them give me the parts and let me replace them. I’d even do it in the parking lot so they can keep the bad lights.

    I did the tailgate inserts about a year ago and they are doing good. Cleaned tailgate letter area with IPA before attaching. I am happy with it.
