Are you coming to pismo Toyota has in May 21/22?

 

[Scramble]

It did come out fine...but with 15 year old paint, the "new" side has much more desert to the other sides dune! I should have just had him do the whole thing!

Cut, wax & buff the old side. Desert Dune & the clear coat are one of the stronger paints on a 3rd gen. You'll be amazed how good it will come out.

Pismo

Yeah, I'll swing by for a while. I was looking at popping up to Big Sur for a night but this looks fun too...

Paint

[MENTION=7105]Scramble[/MENTION] I bought a few products I haven't tried before (Mothers) to see if I can get rid of the one side-silver-the other side-dune look I have going on.

What do you mean by "cut" though?

You use a polish & a "cut pad" after washing the dirt off. It gets rid of light scratches, water stains & oxidation. Then you use a sealer & then a wax. If you use Mothers than you know the 3 step system. I use Griots Garage buffer & pads along with Mothers products. I buy everything on Amazon.

Desert Dune-ing

quick half day run to Oceano/Pismo OHV. down to 14-15 psi and didn't have any problems whatsoever...

Panhard Bar

Sonoran Steel Adjustable Panhard bar installed. I'm actually shocked...(shocked, I say!) how much better my ride is by adding this part. I can't believe not everyone with a 3" or above lift has not noticed the difference in ride I did. The difference is like throwing a bullet or shooting one. The need for one of these should be added to all 4.7 million lift threads!

now to save up for a decent spare...

 

[Pyrotek]

nice rig!

 

[SLO_Rob]

Thanks! It's getting there...sllllooowwwllllyyy.
