    I thought I would do a few things, Started with color match grill install + grill craft mesh then did a custom bracket and added some PIAA Lights and finished it off with a nice filled in Toyota Logo.

    Then I decided I did not like the Piaa switch so I put in an ARB Fog light switch in place of my Aux Input and moved the Aux Input to the center console with an ipod adapter as well.

    Polished up the tailgate a little bit. No time to do the whole truck, but wanted to remove a couple minor scuff marks in there. End result:

    Orange CCS pad FTW. I like the P21S as well. Nice to see some of the members using higher end waxes.

    Very nice job on the tailgate.

    Yea, I just tried the hydrotech pads, and although they were ok, I still prefer the ccs pads. The p21s waxes are great too. Not the best winter time wax imo, but they provide great depth!

    Changed the fluid in the transmission and the rear diff with Red Line MT-90 and Red Line 75w-90.

    mms_picture-99_f0fa10a131c0701fe24be3684c7b33fcda3a4c13.jpg



    Not my Taco, but I also fixed the leak on the rear diff on our F-150. Had to take the back plate off, clean it up real nice, apply some RTV gasket maker, and seal her back up. Of course it needs 75W-140 synthetic, and the Mobil 1 I bought was 18.99 a Qt!

    Then I fabbed up a center console for my bench seat. I just need to wrap it in fabric and it's done.

    That's exactly what happened. Not a big deal, just a little inconvenient.

    The bumper came out fantastic. Same for the sliders although they would be easier to see in the day. When do you plan to install the bumper?

    X2 on the depth. Two years ago I started to top Zaino with Fuzion and have not looked back. Fuzion brings back the depth to dark colors and provides true all winter protection.

    It is best to buy when it is on sale. Autogeek does sell a mini and it will go on sale from time to time. A little goes a long long way.
