    Where can I get a Trail hood?

    Count me in. I'm looking to swap my hood from my salsa red '13 SR5 for a TE hood in the same color. Located in Central Florida. :wink2:

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    On Memorial Day I put together and seasoned my new Char-griller smoker and offset firebox while staring at my new "red head" in the background. Man it's been a great 40th B-Day with a new T4R, new smoker and food dehydrator to make some home made beef jerky. What more could a man ask for ... Lol...

    Ttn333, the Pro Clip mount works perfectly. It doesn't move at all, no rattling or vibrating. It does swivel up, down, left to right with a little effort and can be mounted even closer to the dash if you do not want the swivel feature. For @ $90 it was a great choice! I put up some (better)...

    Whats worked for me is using a hair dryer to mildly heat up the logo's adheasive and some waxed dental floss to seperate the logo from the 4R. I use a slow back and forth motion with the floss and have my wife heat it and lift it up as I go. Be careful using credit cards and the like as you can...

    Thanks everyone! Casturtroy - It took 2x to do the plasti dip right. I found out on the second try that wax paper slides easily behind the chrome trim piece (but not all the way) and doesnt adhear to the plasti dip as much. Also, blue painters tape works better than standard masking tape when...

    OK, I know this is not an Antman type build yet, but with 150 miles on her we have done a few "add ons" to make her our own. We have more planned to make her even more kick a$$ than she already is, so keep tuning in. :) BTW Antman, both my wife and I grew up in the Bel Air / Fallston areas...

    2011 SR5 Tint Question

    Hope this helps. The pics don't do it justice but it looks perfectly uniform in person and during the day I can not tell any difference from the front to back (and I have a mild case of OCD). We had 15% Llumar ceramic installed up front, 50% Llumar ceramic over the rear factory tint, Air Blue...

    Bad weekend

    Paragon1, I'm in the N. Melbourne / Suntree area and may be interested in the mount. Sorry about your luck this weekend, someone must have been jealous! You have in your description that you have 5100's installed - did you do them yourself of have a local shop do it? Let me know as it's my next...

    Just got her home and ...

    Lol! No, not yet but the weeks not over .... My wife accused me of wanting to cook out this evening only because I have to pull the 4R out of the garage and apparently I stare at it while I'm grilling (ummm, she knows me well :redface:). While thinking of some upgrade possibilities, she...

    Has anyone tried a Rightline Gear Cargo Saddlebag?

    Good replies. I'm feeling a little discouraged about it now due to the fanny pack comment! Lol :) Being its waterproof and easily removed and cleaned I may make the leap and buy one to try out. My only concern would be the rubbing / banging of the bag against the rear of the 4R, possibly...

    Link - Rightline Gear 100B90 Cargo Saddlebag : Amazon.com : Automotive I know all about the Gobi and Baja Racks but came across this while searching around. Seems good for easily accesssable extra storage, is waterproof, has good reviews, a pricetag of $140 and shouldnt cut down on the mpg's...
