The GX460 dad bus plus motorcycles and smoked foods.

Vinyl wrap.

 

Mind sharing which you went with? DIY or a shop?

 

DIY, I ordered some 4”x25’ and 2-2”x25’ Avery Dennison off Amazon. I think it was around $70 for everything. First time doing it. The door handles are a motherf¥€ker.

 

great choice. i also switched from a second gen to a agx460. i love it. 2" lift, 33s and some skid plates and i'm back doing the same trails i used to do in the taco but now my butt has cooled seats

 

That look good! What suspension did you go with?

 

Thanks! Old Man Emu 885 coils and struts up front. Icon shocks with Old Man Emu springs out back. Really simple and cost effective. I ran OME on both my last Tacomas and my 4runner and never had an issue, so I let it ride. Only reason I got Icons in the rear is because the OME shocks were sold out

got about 2 to 2.5" of lift. rides a little stiff on road but not terrible. rides good offroad.

 

It's looking better already.

The benefit of vinyl on smaller parts is you're not dealing with a large sheet. I wrapped the top of my RTT, which is flat, and it was rough. Putting vinyl on my fog lights wasn't nearly as bad but with the curved surface a bit of heat is necessary to get it to lay flat.

 

heat is definitely your friend with vinyl

also a good quality vinyl (like Avery Dennison) that will allow you to place, replace, adjust, pull off, replace, etc to get it right. other cheaper vinyl could leave residue, wrinkle or tear

 

Well I waited to long to order pet barrier from KAON so I started working on one. I think I mostly have it figured out. Need to fit up some parts this weekend and drill a few holes.

 

You have to drill holes? bummer.

 

Not in the gx, in the screen itself. All the mounts use existing points but I wasn’t sure where they would hit on the screen.

 

Ah, okay, I was like damn, he's already drilling holes in his new GX...

 

Not yet. I need to get it off road and add some pinstripes first. After the wad we just blew on wife’s I3 I’m hoping to get suspension and tires by summer.

 

Ah a 'you spend money, I spend money' agreement. That's how I got a new computer!

That's also how my wife got PC'd White wheels and tires on her corolla.

 

Well that’s sorta it, but more like I spent all the monies. Happy wife, Happy life.

 

Well, I mean it was all my money technically

 

Next week GX will go in for new windshield and exterior buff. Had a couple scratches an bird poo spots dealer agreed to take care of.

 

Having the wife go back to work full time works well with my current fuckit mentality.

 

My wife can't at the moment. Gotta figure out her health first. She runs a Dice Making business from home currently, but its not a big money market.

 

Installed crossbars this morning. Quality seems really good. Honestly I was surprised to see made in Japan on the boxes.
