    You can ceramic coat anything that could use protection from the elements. If you can spread an even coat of surface for 1 minute than go over with a micro fiber and rub it till it's clear. Has a solid feel, wet glass look and slides like silk. A lot better than doing the wax every other month plus this protects better

    So I see you have a BullyDog tuner and a pedal commander?

    Big mahalos to "Vizsla"/DBaker for an excellent piece of custom work. Fits like a glove and the 5#+ weight fire extinguisher fits right under my seat all the way tucked in a perfect location for easy access. Thanks bud for your work of art for the name of Safety

    Thought I would be good with a 69"x 12" tool box....not. Had to go with a 69"x 20" to fit all my gear. Plus I like the handles better

    In the past I've installed the visors that stick inside the rubber and window, I could hear my motor working hard to role up the last couple inches. So when a friend of mine had the AVS installed on his 2017 4Runner and saw that in attaches to the outside rubber and not on the outside window frame or inside the rubber. I went and ordered them. Very happy with the instal and my window motor works as if no visors are there. Love that's its low profile and aerodynamic.

    Klutch air compressor just came in today and will try her out soon. I got this cuz it connects straight to battery terminals, quick release connectors, different attachments, higher rate of air pressure and fills up 38" tires quick, as that's the tire size I will be running soon. 22"x 12" or 22"x14" rims yet to be determined.

    Not to many off road places, but lots of camping spots, beaches, mountains and trails to explore. For me it's for camping, tail gating and hauling my gear also sometimes for work. Most of the time it's sunny at 80*+ and where I work its beach, surf and bikinis in Waikiki...somebody has to do it ;)

    Finally after a busy 4th of July weekend had time to instal my Silvania ZEVO 16 color LED interior floor lights. Installed the infared receiver under front passenger dash pannel. Ran front driver side LEDs under the center counsul. Ran the two rear LEDs from front passenger side door pannel and under front passenger seat. Used the longer 36" line for the driver rear seat. Mounted the remote to the rear of shift column on center counsul using Velcro with the infared facing the passenger side, that way I can control my 16 color modes, flash, strobe, fade, smooth and off/on switch with ease.

    Back from vacation to see this waiting for me: Spyder front headlights, Spyder rear tail lights, Morimoto LED fog lights, LED headlight conversion kit, lower tail gate LED lights for; driving, brake, turn signal, park and reverse. Planning on install tomorrow and the next day.
    Now I can send my stock EOM Platinum head lights to "Retrofit Wholesales" for custom work and will see which one I like better

    Came home after work to this, Thule truck rack system, wasted no time tore it down to the metals to get them powder coated gloss black and on to my truck. If your asking what happened to my other Trac Rac system...... stupid me only used it 2 times and thought it could fit under the parking structure at work, WRONG tore it right off when I got it stuck under a lower cement beam. Lesson learn stick with the Thule, they can be lowered.
