7th Mod:

Plasti Dip the rims

This by far was the coolest and cheapest mod I have done! However, I would not recomend doing this in the dark and in the cold! I used 3 cans and put 4 coats, but should have done 5. I noticed some very small spots that I missed that I probably wouldn't have if it wasn't dark. The best thing about this, is if I don't like it. I can just peel it off!


Stock color

Used 3 decks of cards

1st coat

Becasue it was soo cold I had to let them dry over night

Like how the red calipers stand out!

Didn't do or put the center caps on. I kind of like them w/o them?

 

[downpour11]

Very nice sir! Looks awesome :thumb3::thumb3: I give it two thumbs up

 

[Ride_Red]

Thanks!
I did not do the center caps. I like how the blue wheel spacers accent the rim. Only thing I need to do, is paint or cover the rear drum, it's a little rusty.

8th mod:

Deck plate

Went to West Marine and picked up a 4" deck plate white with a clear lid. The deck plate cost me $12.00.

Took the entires intake to make it easier to work on also cleaned maf and throttle body.

Started with a 2" hole saw toward the upper left corner for easier access.

Then turned to my rotary tool.

Let the silicone dry.

With the clear lid.

Painting the drums is coming up on the list. Not sure if I'm going with the red caliper paint or just black? I might also try putting the center caps back on, but I need to dip them 1st.

Do you have factory foglights housings? or the Hella MicroDE's? I thought that HIDs only fit in the microde's ?

Yes, they are the stock fog lights. Only thing I needed to teak were the retaining clips that held the bulb in.

Oh okay.. did you decide to run any relays?

 

[Ride_Red]

No relay, just plug and play!

Hey what kind of bullbar and tail light guards are those?

 

[audiness]

Lookin good! If you took off the front spacers, would it still be possible to run those 285's do you think? Thats what I'd like to do, but I don't really want spacers......

Not 100% sure, but i think Hunter? My wife got them off of eBay.

With the same rims, no. I had the rims and tires on before the spacer and it rubbed the UCA and the pinch welds pretty good. I'm sure if you get some after market UCA's and did some serious trimming/pounding, then I guess you could, but that's some work.

With different rims and better back spacing, I'm sure you could probably get away w/o running the spacers, but I'm not 100% sure?

Third maintenance:

Timing belt
Water pump
Alternator belt
And the 2 other belts I can't remember.
Flushed radiator fluid
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
PVC Valve

Finally got around to getting all of this done w/over 140k on the clock. These were all the original parts that were replaced for the first time. Used all OEM Toyota parts where ever possible.

Fourth Maintenance:

Cleaned Throttle Body and MAF Sensor
