Hey - can you take a couple pictures for me? From the front and rear of it? I installed it too but it's kind of flipped up towards the back.

Ya mine is too. If you tighten it up so that's it not hanging down as much then the netting bunches. Fine with me until I put stuff on it then it sags a bit more and isn't bunched.

Threaded so very easy to unscrew. Instructions included for proper alignment of the replacements by Ellis.

Ceramic coat!
Spent part of the weekend detailing and applying a full ceramic coating to paint and windows. I used CarPro's Fly By Forte for all glass, and a 9H Ceramic coat by Color N Drive. Steps for glass: wash, polish, Car Pro Eraser, apply coating, hand buff. My steps for paint: Wash (Griot's wash), Paint Prep while still wet (Griot, wax remover), clay bar, rinse, polished with a compound, wiped down with CarPro Eraser, and then the ceramic application process dictated by the manufacturer: pre-treatment spray, 9H ceramic coat applied w/ applicator, spread with damp cloth, buff with hand cloth.
It was fairly easy, but it did take a good 10ish hrs over two days. I had clay bar-ed before winter, so I didn't have much buildup. Like most things, its all in the prep!! Tip: don't let the ceramic dry...I was a little slow on a couple panels to buff and the ceramic had dried in a couple small edges. Its just a couple high spots, so I'm not worried about it. Definitely looks great! We'll see how long it lasts. Total cost: maybe $125 for all the supplies...had a lot of the prep stuff already.

Fluid film the entire frame. I'm in salt on the road country so any protection I can use. It took 5 cans of fluid film, almost 3 cans inside the frame and two outside. While I had my skids off I lubricated all shafts at the same time.
Did you notice that doesn't matter how you park, all greasing zerks are always at inaccessible position?

I was just there on Wednesday. Bushducks didn't mention anything about the clear lake trail being closed. I drove all the way up it till I was less than half a mile from the lake and the road had not been finished being plowed. I was pissed after driving that far up that rough ass road.

First adventure out off-roading with the 4Runner, and first time out in 15+ years. Rausch Creek lived up to expectations and looking forward to heading back soon!
The 4Runner (still haven't thought of a name for her) kicked ass. Couple scuff marks on the RCI skid from underwater rocks while leading, but otherwise not a problem at all.

Mine had the dealer sticker, a license plate frame, and trailer hitch plug–a little overboard if you ask me! I removed it all. Pro tip: a norwex cloth will easily and completely remove the residue from those stickers in just a wipe or two.
