It was just under $300 with the textured 3M Vinyl. They used knifeless cut tape to outline the shape, applied the adhesive vinyl, and then pulled up the tape to cut the shape. It's pretty slick. I've done countless vinyl applications before but...

Thanks for the tip. I had mine done by Crawlarado, but he is no longer doing them and the solar panel is outside of my need/use case. Mind sharing how $$ KUTTEK charged you? I may have to go that route..Thanks.

Where did you get the blackout hood panel? The guy I got mine from years ago no longer sells/makes.

Interested in a kit for a "just in case" scenario and keep in the 100. Pm me with payment info. Thanks!

Since 65K (now at 260k) I chased clunks (etc.) by driveshaft greasing and pumping (for years) while doing all (I mean ALL) the bushings and mounts as well as the Toyota CV and flanges. No joy. I Replaced both driveshafts (F&R) with toyota...

For all those running SPC UCAs Summit Racing has the upper ball joint assemblies (newest sealed version) for a deep discount. $139 vs. the $219 at Slee...

For Serra, Yes (toyota parts website). For Ourisman, I used the link they provided (dealership).

Ourisman (was McGeorge). Edit: Just validated steering rack 44250-60050. Ourisman is cheaper (by $30) but shipping is not free ($58). FYI
