@jerryb, in terms of stripper, I used a strong degreaser from my friends bodyshop, nothing fancy.
In terms of paint, Rustoleum satin black, same paint I used on my wiper arms this summer. I wasn't sure how it'd turn out but I'm relatively happy with it. If anything, I'm going to redo it properly in the spring but I couldn't stand how it looked before so I had to do something!

Trimmed mud flaps, removed spoiler and debadged the rear except the Yota logo, probably going black with it!
Rolled 70k miles while rolling 70mph.
This was right after I did a preventative timing belt, water pump, and heater tees service!
It's amazing how much "horse power" she gains when you pull out of the dealer lot leaving your savings account behind. I really hate spending money on things I can't even tell were done.
How do you like those LED bumper lights? Been thinking about getting some, just not sure yet...
Great question.. I purchased those and never got around to installing them. I later installed the PFRAN reverse LED's and the light output was so good that I installed the bumper lights / reflectors and ended up not wiring them for the time being because I keep thinking / dreaming that Im getting a bumper and tire carrier.
Im sure they would be a good option for remote locations but on a daily basis the PFRANs light up every parking light and driveway.
Ordered my Gamiviti...
Welcome to the club!

Added a couple tabs and some 20W 5" LED bars, and a 1/4 wave antenna to finish my comms.

note to self no more late night drinking with PayPal account open
With all the bad 100 thread on vibs from spacers this should be a waste of time.
The factory jack with adapter makes for a safe install.

To give myself the best chance I clean all mating surfaces spotless. First test drive <55 is looking good. Sunday I hook up the boat and head out. So far zero vibs the only thing different about my LX470 and most others is Im part time.Maybe the game changer with IFS and spacers
I do like the look with the the spacers and the narrow tires I run.

Was getting some vibs at 75+ so after a talk with the tire balance experts we decided to balance the tires with the spacers attached. In doing so we will mark the position of the spacer on the wheel so when we remove them in order to mount the wheel back on the LX it will be in the exact place. It took very little weight to bring them to all zeros. Test at 85mph (on a closed course in my mind

Anyone balance with beads? Some of my friends with 35"+ tires have had good results.
I used beads on my other trucks with good results.

I doubt I will even put these into production. Pretty much just built the front and rear for me.
Thanks C!
