    4 Runner garage mates! lets see em and talk about them.

    His and hers current winter and summer beaters...Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Nissan 350z, BMW M235i. I say 'current' as we suffer from vehicle ADHD. I must admit that the 4Runner is by far one of my favorite vehicles owned thus far!

    Frame Welds Rusting Already

    Lol given how anal I am, I am almost too ashamed to admit that I did not use any prep product or wire brushing. The truck was so new that I simply wiped down the areas I was planning to paint with a damp cloth, then dry, and used a sponge brush to paint it on. I did the same thing to my winter...

    Frame Welds Rusting Already

    My Krown application is done around April/May timeframe and I avoid spraying the underbody for the remaining spring and summer months to allow time for the stuff to adhere to all the crevices. The shop said it was okay to spray the underbody but that it was not required. They mentioned that if...

    Frame Welds Rusting Already

    I did exactly this when my 4Runner was brand new almost two years ago. I went over all the frame welds and everywhere else where rust was showing with POR-15 twice. Additionally, my 4Runner gets an annual coating of Krown in the spring time. Call me anal but here in Calgary, we get a lot of salt...

    RUST 2010 5th gen

    From my personal experience using Iron X, I 100% recommend it. I was very sceptical at the beginning but after much research on detailing forums, I decided to try it on our vehicles. The end result was unbelievable and worked so well that a second spray on our white colored Lexus was not...

    Rust spots on my doors

    I definitely would recommend Iron X to remove rail dust! I spent many hours researching on detailing forums and discovered that this stuff came highly recommended by detailers. If preferred, you can clay bar as the next step though pictures on these sites show very little contaminants on the...

    Rustoleum Rust Reformer?

    I spent many, many hours researching rust converting paint and decided to go with Por15 and Krown (undercoating) overtop. Por15 is expensive stuff but is holding up extremely well after a winter of snow, gravel and tons of salt sprayed on our Calgary roads. You just have to be extremely...

    ? For you folks that have Katzkin leather added?

I spent many hours using the configurator before coming up with this combo...I am very sure you will love it and TBH, these pictures do not do them justice. they truly look outstanding in person!! I decided to...

    ? For you folks that have Katzkin leather added?

    Must be different as the fabric seat covers were 100% removed by the shop prior to installation of the Katzkins. I was shown the seat covers prior to the install and noticed that a small amount of padding is sewed onto the underside of the Katzkins which provide cushioning. I was originally...

    ? For you folks that have Katzkin leather added?

    I had my Katzkin installed approximately 2 months ago and I absolutely love it. The leather is much better than OEM and is well worth the $2100 CAD I paid to have it made and installed here in :canada: I went with black leather, barrucuda flint body, silver stitching (matches door panels), and...
