    Put on bumpershells to cover the chrome. A bit fiddly to install but not hard. It's interesting that the bumpershells come with a sticker with the name of the person who made them.

    The textured black TPO is a great match for the stock black parts of the front and rear bumper. I think I prefer it over color matched on my MGM Tundra, plus it's cheaper.

    I also put on blackout badge covers (00016-34890). Expensive, but I didn't want to buy the cheaper versions because if they didn't cover it well, it would be irritating. Seems to be on there very solidly.

    Now I'm debating on whether I should leave the TSS Offroad sticker on the bedside. I hated it when I still had all the chrome all over everywhere, but now that the truck is thoroughly dechromed, I kind of don't mind the TSS Offroad sticker.

    Ok, one more for the weekend. My tekonsha brake controller finally went bad after 205k miles and 10 years of service. So, I did a little research and found the red arch brand. Love it! I did move my rear window switch, now upside down since it’s the only way it would fit, but I never roll the back window down anyway :D I just wanted the knob easily accessible and in sight.

    For years I have used Gunk Engine Cleaner. It sprays on and has an oily feel to it so be careful with your spraying. I let that sit for 5 minutes or so and then rinse with a light hose flow. Definitely do this when the engine has been cold for a while. If you do this a few times a year you will avoid dirt build up a really never have to scrub. That would be different if you live on dirt roads but for me its a simple process that I complete right after I finish washing the outside.

    I sanded my headlights today and clear coated them as well. Some orange peel on them but it still looks a lot better than the hazy yellow that they were before. I probably could polish the orange peel down a bit but I am going to leave it alone for now. So happy to have the nasty discoloration gone from my headlights, makes the truck look years newer.

    Clay barred, medium to light cut rub down, and an old fashioned hand wax to finish. Thankful for 2nd set of hands from the youngest.
    Acres of black...wouldn't wish on anyone. But a good thing when done.

    Ordered a used set of limited leather seats and a RAV4 heated steering wheel from a nearby parts yard. Will try to get them installed this week.
    Unrelated, does anyone know what this plug is for? It's next to the blank switch plate between the 12v power port and the USB/aux port

    Not yet. Figuring it out as I go lol.
    Going to order a switch from AliExpress that's labeled as Toyota Prado, but is the right size and color. I'm not interested in spending the dealer prices for a land cruiser button and relay (like $150 just for the button and relay, not counting finding connectors and making a harness out of them).
    I'll take photos as I go though and make up a DIY for folks.
