I looked at their site and didn’t see any shims listed. Are they still selling them or I am just not seeing them.

 

Rustoleum red? How many pounds of torque for reinstallation?

Thank you sir

 

What sandpaper and paint did you use? How are they holding up?

 

I used a flap wheel on the death grinder and left over high heat engine enamel. Holding up just fine.

 

Working on rebadging right now. Any ideas how to get rim of lettering off? yep

 

well started raining so waiting on it to stop

 

Use Goo Gone or something similar to get rid of all the sticker glue. With how long that badge has been on the truck you may need to use some rubbing compound to get the ring off. Then wash and wax.

 

Rear Diff breather extension mod

 

Heard folks mention an "eraser wheel" for a drill. Have not used.

 

This is what I used when I did mine:

 

Be careful with high speed wheels....they may take off the clear coat if you’re not very careful. A blow dryer, goo gone and a little elbow grease and patience works wonders. Depending on age of the Trick you may have the outline of the lettering still visible in the right light. Dirt gets behind them and etches sometimes. Happened on my old 4runner and always bothered me

I did 65 lbs

 

Thank you sir...

 

I agree...I would go the Goo Gone route as well. Spray it on and let it sit for a bit and then it should come right off. Hit it with some polish and move on to your next mod.

 

Realized after posting you have a 2nd gen. It wouldn’t work in that particular case.

 

There is always this for an easy (hopefully never needed) add-on

 

@CaptainGrumpus no problem, just make sure allow the paint to completely dry or the paint will twist/swirl when you tighten the bolts. I had to do it twice cause I was a bit impatient, second time I did it I allowed them to dry for a week before putting them back on. I did 6 coat's paint and 4 of the gloss clear. Good luck.

 

Goo Gone, a heat gun/hairdryer on low and a microfiber cloth.

 

Do you have a write up for this? Or thread?

Another cheap mod if you do any water crossings or launch a boat. Rear diff breather extension. It's not really cost effective to price out the individual parts anymore vs the kit + shipping costs.
