17" TRD SEMA pro 7F787904-C739-407C-9BEF-B81567440BDD_1_201_a by Austin Scott, on Flickr

Threw on my new set of wheels and tires, and yanked off the factory running boards. Looks so much cleaner now.

Bought her a couple weeks ago. 6 hours of paint correction and touch up paint, wax, wash, removal of the running boards, and new wheels and tires. Night and Day difference. 5C5E7C3A-1A63-45B8-BDC0-F2C0BCB88F19_1_201_a by Austin Scott, on Flickr 0D350695-4391-47ED-AE9C-FD4FD8FE6AD0_1_201_a by...

Love that look.

My wife and I spent 6 hours on paint correction. Wash/Clay/Touch Up Paint/Compound/Wax. My arm hurts, but it looks better. That single stage white paint is a *****.

Replaced my drivers door weather seal. Exciting, I know. LOL

I'm just a newbie, but isn't it ironic that we replace OEM/factory installed LBJs with OEM ones because they fail. But also the aftermarket ones fail?

Im going to remove the running boards, plastidip the bumpers and grill black. I already have 17" black TRD Sema wheels on the way, and a set of 245/70R17 Falken Wildpeak tires. Id like to do a 231mm TBU and maybe a *tiny* lift like 1" coils and new struts.

I just picked up an 02 with 147k miles. The LBJ were replaced by Toyota about 90k miles ago under recall, in 2005. The truck is impeccably maintained. Should I just do them again or give them a bit of time?

New here, and I finally picked her up. 2002 SR5 V6 2wd (I know). One owner, all MX done on time. 147k miles. Rust free CA and TX truck. Its going to be a fun daily. Oh, it was 2k cash. I think its a steal. I just drove it 900 miles and it was flawless...
