It’s powder coat. But that would be a huge helpStrip the paint off the rings, at least you’ll be able to see where the tire ends and the wheel begins.

That is the one…Thanks for the details.
Is this the AMP you got? AudioControl LC-5.1300 - https://www.crutchfield.com/S-l9Caef68f9W/p_161LC51300/AudioControl-LC-5-1300.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=1BJ1&awcr=628340559497&awdv=m&awnw=g&awug=9027845&awkw=pla-1157702406206&awmt=&awat=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy6Xx_62R-wIVShbUAR14Hg3lEAQYASABEgJfxPD_BwE
Were any of the plugs loose? or only finger tight? The carbon on the threads would lead me to believe so. It is not uncommon for the plugs on these engines to get slightly loose, causing misfire issues.Truck decided to start but run rough couple mornings ago. Chased down a misfire to cylinder 6 (again), where I had put a new cheapo coil just a few weeks ago. Replaced the coil (Denso) and plug (OEM-spec NGK) this time, just in case. I probably should have just swapped the coil, stuck the wires back on and fired up to see, but now I suspect I have 7 other spark plugs and/or coils that are due for some love. I'll probably pick some up and piecemeal this maintenance-mod as I can get to it. It's all running properly now, but if the plugs all look like this - they're due.
Hopped on the Lexus maintenance tracker thing last night to see - this truck has been through some stuff, but I haven't found a likely candidate for "here's the last time plugs were changed out," so I guess these are pretty old. Pretty sure this is carbon fouling from a dying coil more than anything else. Truck doesn't burn oil, but has been known to run a bit rich sometimes. Could be that gas smell is incomplete combustion?View attachment 3158124
I’d have to go pull it apart and see, but this one was roughly as tight as it seemed it should be. This cylinder is also the same one as the last time I had this particular CEL, so I just pulled the one plug and coil and replaced em.Were any of the plugs loose? or only finger tight?

Man you got your MONEY'S WORTH out of those. That's impressive.Replace 65k mile Falken Wildpeak AT3W with new. Great tires. The new ones are a bit quieter, but the old were by no means loud.

And there was still over a quarter inch of tread. The trails roughed them up enough, especially the sidewalls, that I decided it was time.I'd say you got a good run out of those!
Got the hood and roof resprayed and it looks so much better. I forgot to take a before of the roof.
It looks very close. I can’t see a difference. Now to replace the window trim and mirror covers.Nice, how close is the color match?
I'm an irrecoverable idiot.Have lost (?!) my front locker's air plug hose retaining nut. TRE.
Waiting time between 3 and 6 months like they would roll it from China to EU on the Silk Route....
Planned, designed, printed, fitted, all good.
