Does any body have a solution to the body cladding fading and getting dull in relation to the body paint? Some of my cladding panels, not all, are getting dull and faded with no shine anymore.

Thanks for the advice 4gin007. That was my original thought but being the lazy type that I am I wanted to avoid the process of removing it. taking it to a shop and waiting for them to paint it then reinstalling it. But as you said, the results would be better if the pros do it. You've encouraged...

The clear coat on the top my spoiler is starting to lift and flake off of the paint in a few places. I was thinking of just sanding and touching it up myself. What is the best aftermarket clear coat to use that comes in a spray can?

Does anyone know where I can buy a Turn Signal Lamp Socket for 06 Sport Edition? It is the passenger side turn signal. The previous owner or someone broke the tabs off and it is impossible to remove. You can't even get a set of pliers on it.

Thanks Dawg Runner! WOW. Finally some good pics of this process!! Sorry it took me so long to respond. Appreciate the time you spent and the attention to detail Thanks! Woodyc

Has anyone removed the cross members from an 06 Sport Edition? I'm gonna remove mine to add some Yakima surf racks. I understand the rear cover piece has to come off but I can't see how to start the process. Any pics anyone has would be helpful. Thanks.

After I installed my lift I had less than a fingers worth of clearance between my tires and the UCAs. I did some light offroading and did not have any rubbing. My lift is a SAW coilovers in front. SAW Coils and Bilstiens in back , tires are 276/65/17 BFG AT kos. I just put on Spidertrax and now...

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a great trip. Do you think the trail would be passable in a 2WD w/lift and A/T tires?

paint the center cap but leave the toyota emblem silver. Silver Toyota emblem and silver lugs looks cool.

I like my tube steps on our Sport Ed. It makes it easier for the wifey to get in now that it's lifted.:driving:

Irish44J: Where did you get your Thule Racks that attach to the Side Rails? I've been looking for some for my 06 Sport Edition and haven't been able to find them.

Nice Drivin Will 4R !!

I like your set up with the Yakima cross bars attached to the stock roof rack rails. Does anyone know if Yakima or Thule make a similar mount for the larger roof rack tubes on a 06 Sport? I want to get rid of the stock cross bars and have Yakima or Thule cross bars as I am often carrying surfboards.
