What size Torx driver for the roof rails?

I'm not sure, I was using an older set with no size markings, its a larger one and then a smaller one is needed for the end caps once u have the rack off...

Here are some pics with the roof rack and tube steps painted black......they are darker in person, but I think I'm gonna go a little darker......

I just got the approval from my parents to paint my wheels. We actually were out driving today and saw 2 cars with black wheels and she said "oh, that looks pretty good"

Did you sand the wheels before you did them or just clean and spray. How hard was it to spray that bed liner evenly? Did you do one tire at a time - how long does it take that stuff to dry? I assume you just covered your tires while you sprayed?

Thanks for all your help SportRunner!!

You're definatley need to sand them down(you can also get a bit for the end of your drill that will scuff and sand them down, thats what I used, cause if u don't sand down really good the paint won't stick or will bubble)......then once all sanded clean with acetone to get all dust off tape the sidewall of the tire off and then paint the wheel....the bed liner spray goes on evenly if you're spraying correctly just be back like 8-12 inches and do even strokes over the wheel, stop and shake can like every 20 seconds...I did one tire at a time and let it dry for half a day and then carefully put it back on, and let it dry on the car for another day, the stuff dries pretty quick though.....the bedliner paint is pretty tough thats why I used it but any wheel paint will do as well.....

You could also use this in black.....
