I though it was going to be a struggle, but as soon as I placed a wrench on it and almost kinda applied pressure, it twisted. It was barely finger tight, so it just needed a little touch, then came right out. It's in the trash now.

Thank you sir! Yeah, that dude needs to see his way out of my thread. lol
Thanks! I dig your '85. I have an '87 Hilux as my other DD.
I'm looking forward to paint on mine as well. I'm not a 5th Gen owner, but I'm going with PlastiDip for the whole truck. They have an Anthracite Grey, so it should get to looking like normal again soon. People will talk trash about dipping cars, but I need to do a Matte Clear over two of my old trucks ('50 Ford and '57 Chevy) to keep the patina because regular automotive clear won't stick to old paint and rust, so I figure I"ll use the same equipment to do the T4R.

I got Skye re-inspected today and she passed! They pointed out a fault in one of my new headlights, but they excused it after I showed them the clip that they thought was missing. I just have to get in there and reattach it. No biggie.

But I drove her around a bit and she drives real good. Still had a misfire code, but it ran smooth, so I'll clear it and hope that after I run through this tank of bad gas it will be back to normal and run smooth every day. Hopefully.

Sometime this week I hope to powder coat the new front bumper that I got and install the new valance to it, and maybe install over the weekend or next week. I'm also going to be doing a hitch flip, add a little something else to the rear bumper, fix a rust hole on it, and powder coat it too. Once all of that is done, she should be looking good enough for a photo shoot.

Have the wheels mounted yet? Super interested in seeing the color on your 4Runner

Yeah dude, I've had the wheels on for a while. I guess I never posted the pic on my own thread!

Not a great pic, and it will look better once more pieces are coated the same, but here it is:

Looks good man! I made sure to double check your build for them. I'd love to see them in the sun one day, I'm sure they've got a nice pop to them

Not gonna lie, $800 that's a steal

Awesome re-life build, been following along waiting for some more outrageous work and updates. And some much deserved rep!

[/QUOTE] ****ing thing runs worse now than it did before I tried to care for it. FML.

hopefully I find something. If not, this truck can die in a fire. lol. [/QUOTE]

I’ve had more days like this than I care to say. Hahah
I know this is an old thread but I have to say I am truly impressed with all your work and dedication. You have some serious skills. I was trying to find a direction on my 4Runner and now I’m off learning how to powder coat. Keep it up, I need more hobbies!!

How’s does skye look now?
