    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.

    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. AFC9B893-ED53-476E-A1F6-0403459BE04F.jpgBECCBC14-4A17-4063-8923-AA679BA658A6.jpg

    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.

    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! :rofl:

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

    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. 8432CB12-76EA-479C-B075-7DC12A4005B9.jpg41D4A3D6-FC3C-4F21-A6CD-A452BEA69ADB.jpg
