    I've just got my OEM rims at the tire shop and they're installing a set of studded Nokian Hakkas for the winter. Cannot wait, the BFG KO2s are a lot sketchy on ice, which is the main issue around here.

    Got these wheels sandblasted by a company near me. Then I primed and painted them over this past weekend. Gotta wait a bit then gonna add some more coats of paint. I missed several spots and the temps are getting lower so paint is taking forever to cure hopefully this weekend i'll be able to get some more paint down

    You need a Stillen. The TRD is just a cosmetic appearance mod.

    Installed a Dasaita Vivid 13 head unit. Hope it does well. Love the look and sound over the stock unit.

    I'm not going to tell you what you "need" after you spent $$ on the TRD intake, which I have as well. BUT, if you like that intake noise, look into the SABM...

    Glad my advocating of that rubber piece is getting to a lot of folks.

    Seriously, if you haven’t done it yet, and deleted the carbon filter, you’ve gotta.

    Slight change of plans. I decided to keep one of the cig lighters so I could use it for my compressor so installed this usb-c adapter in the slot that had the factory usb/aux.

    I did this a year ago or so and thought about getting paint protective film for both pieces but then figured out a new grill and bulge cost about the same as getting the film lol

    Every time I priced out a color matched grill and bumper caps it was around $750 whether I do “bumper shellz” or ecological color match covers or adhesive overlays. I was able to find an eBay listing of aftermarket color matched grill and hood bulge for $275 not including the front T emblem so I jumped on it. Currently trying to sell the previous grille and bulge too. Very inexpensive & I’m going to
    paint the chrome bumper caps which was only about $65 with good color match paint and clear coat

    It's for rust protection, you spray it onto the underbody and inside body panels. Other similar products include FluidFilm, WoolWax, NHoil, Krown, SurfaceShield, etc. I feel like I'm missing a few others I've heard of I just can't recall at the moment.

    thats what I kinda figured that it was kinda the same as fluid film but thanks for clarifying. I know someone posted something on here years ago about a product called RBP do you know anything about that ? I believe it was posted because the member had a PROCOMP lift and some of the parts were rusting on it (surface rust ) and he said to spray it to get rid of it. do you know anything about that ? I have the same problem with my PROCOMP parts
