How are you liking those headlights? Looks sharp!

Hearing aid beige, grandpa gold, old man tan, baby shit beige, they all work.
I never thought in a million years that I would own a beige/tan vehicle...but here we are!

If any of you are ever switching hoods to go to or from a sport hood, I want your not-hail-damaged and still-has-clearcoat hood. I don't care if it's a sport hood or a standard hood.
My driftwood pearl hood is in bad shape from, um, hail and failed clearcoat.
EDIT: and also, as an owner of a driftwood pearl 4runner and a hearing aid user, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel.

They're nice, love the LEDs. Kind of wish the orange indicator bulbs would light up instead of the LED bar when the parking lights are on, but can't complain.

Another MN guy! Where are you located exactly? I'm in the west metro (Minnetonka)

I'd like to see more pictures of your Baja rack please.
I'm considering the utility version for my Driftwood Pearl
*Also, photos of my Driftwood Pearl are in my thread - link in the sig...

Absolutely. Any particular angle you are looking for?
I really like the BajaRack. I like the basket style for how I currently use it.
I will post some shortly.
Quite the honor to have Dusty Driftwood notice my humble ride.

Hopefully there is some room for a Dorado Gold Pearl, its kinda close. No cool adventuring pics, but do have some maintenance pics (first time posting, hopefully the pics come through). No real mods except for plastidip front grill and badges, but thinking of the 06+ headlight swap.
Towing 6x12 uhaul. Kept it in 4th and watched tach for torque converter clutch lockup

Changing my oil for the first time. This begun my transition from just driving it to learning more about 4runners and auto maintenance. Currently running the Castrol High mileage synthetic blend pictured with 208k and change every 4k. Probably going to switch to shell rotella gas truck after seeing a recent Project Farm video.

Adjusting the parking brake in the apartment parking lot. Little bit of crust on her, currently doing an experiment on the driver side front wheel well frame, suspension, and skidplates with different surface prep techniques for por15 as I have heard varying suggestions.

As promised. Just shots in my garage but all the angles.
I bought mine used. Just a few thoughts. BajaRacks do have a questionable reputation on the their powder and are known to be susceptible to rust. I touch up mine quite frequently as a precaution. I also pop mine off during the winter. It's a 20 minute removal/install and I just hang it from the ceiling. I don't notice much noise. I do wish it sat down just a little lower.
Overall though I really like it.

An honor, huh? Well, I didn't know my reputation proceeded me...
Thank you for the shout out and for the pics.
Your pictures are great looking. As mentioned, I think I'm interested in the flat rack, but can't make up my mind, so this helps.
Thanks again for the shout out and pics!

I think its funny how many places I see stealing photos of your T4R to sell stuff on Amazon and Ebay. I will say, yours was probably the first "cool" looking driftwood pearl T4R I saw. So, yeah, you're basically famous, I guess. :lmao:
Definitely helped me make some decisions about what I wanted to do with mine, so thanks for that from some random dude on the internet.

Exactly!! You nailed it. I wanted old man tan, driftwood pearl or whatever we are calling it because it hearkened back to tan Land Cruisers growing up in Kenya. Dusty Driftwood was the first one that made me see the potential that it didn't have to look like a geriatric mall crawler.
