Check out POR15, it's really tough stuff and gets much love in the muscle/classic car world. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube that show how to do the prep/application.

Check out Sonoran Steel, Sonoran Steel Custom Metal Fabrication L.L.C. Custom Toyota Truck Parts. They use a lot of OEM style components which will have excellent reliability in the long run. That's personally what I'll be going with. I'm not a fan of the adjustable coil-over style like Icon or...

Well, to be fair, German cars are known for their bomb-proof paint jobs, and Japanese in general are known for soft and easily damaged paint. I was also told by a body shop that due to some law being passed around 2000 there was some additive that auto paint manufacturers couldn't use any...

You may want to look into how to properly polish/buff the paint with a DA polisher. Here's a picture of the test spot I did before doing my 2009 Camry after the paint had gotten pretty faded/oxidized. You can see the difference in the reflection between the left and right sides of the trunk...

That's just a generic website, likely generated by a bot. I wouldn't really trust what is being given there as any sort of fact. At this point if Toyota was planning any major revisions for 2016 they would have announced at an autoshow by now. The 2016 model will be mostly unchanged from 2015...

Tell you what, if you don't get it, go ahead and post the details so someone else can get this thing. Little pricey, but looks like a great truck :) ... can always negotiate down a little I'm sure.

I'm a huge proponent of dumping companies if they start to show neglect towards consumers. Just let your wallet do the talking, and be sure to let them know. It already...

I love the mods you've done to your truck. Well thought out and obviously functional. One suggestion would be to use an electrical distribution bar (busbar) for your wiring needs. It would help clean up your wiring for the lights and winch. There are plenty of writeups on the net with...

Ambient temp above 75F, vent temp should be at least 30F colder (ref: DC-System-Performance---Ideal-Vent-Temperature). For comparison my girlfriend's 98 Rav4 gave 43F colder vent temp than the 95F ambient air here in Florida. If your 4Runner is not performing to this standard then you should...
