What lights are you running on top of the Ironman?
It looks almost like it got hot somewhere along the way and the plastic (bubble wrap?) stuck to it. I'm sure it's fine, but if it didn't come off I'd hit asfir up and let em know. I know it's a) just a skid plate, and b) around the world shipping and all, but I'd either want a lil discount for the trouble of belt sanding that off so it's not so weird looking, or a new one sent. Probably talk to em first and see what they recommend.My skid plate arrived today with what either looks like anthrax on it or holy mold. It was wrapped in sealed plastic so no idea what happened.

Pattern looks to me more like it sat in a puddle of something that reacted with the aluminum, I am guessing the whitish coloring is oxide.It looks almost like it got hot somewhere along the way and the plastic (bubble wrap?) stuck to it.

think they are 9" Xbrites or something like that, ARB knockoffs from Amazon, good lights though. I think they were like 100 bux and i haven't had an issue out of them in 5 yearsWhat lights are you running on top of the Ironman?
Yeah - no surprise who is paying for itAt Lexus of Greenville for an airbag control module recall. This is my first Lexus, but this lobby is plush! Luxury furniture, a self-service office area, and a nice coffee bar with a full-time barista. No wonder they mark up the parts 40-50% over ordering online from Toyota! They probably have to just to upkeep the customer waiting lobby.
Thanks Boss!think they are 9" Xbrites or something like that, ARB knockoffs from Amazon, good lights though. I think they were like 100 bux and i haven't had an issue out of them in 5 years
I’m going to try polishing it later today to see if it helps. Initially I thought somehow the plastic melted onto it from heat(?) or something but it’s not coming off at all with my nails.It looks almost like it got hot somewhere along the way and the plastic (bubble wrap?) stuck to it.

give it a wipe with some paper towel and white vinegarI’m going to try polishing it later today to see if it helps. Initially I thought somehow the plastic melted onto it from heat(?) or something but it’s not coming off at all with my nails.
I did mine by myself. PM me with any questions.This is happening now. It’s a little tough doing it without help, but that’s how I like to work most of the time.

Any chance you have a list of part numbers that you ordered? I'm a little unclear on if I need to order 4 each of 1843650040 and 1843550080.
Yes 4 of each part number.. 4 covers per side.Any chance you have a list of part numbers that you ordered? I'm a little unclear on if I need to order 4 each of 1843650040 and 1843550080.

We finally got our skid plates in. They did take a very long time to get in because of DHL, not because of ASFIR. We could not get to them for a while, probably a week or a week and a half, but we finally got them installed this morning. It was a great birthday present that my boys would help me, and I could not have done it without them! I will feel much better going down trails now. The plates themselves seemed very heavy duty and the fit was about perfect. I would rate these as easy to install. They use the existing mounting bolt holes. There was some hardware that was missing, but we had stuff laying around that worked just fine. I over torqued the insert in the rear and popped the threads out of the aluminum block. It is well attached from the other mounting points though so I am not going to worry about it.
Make sure the second row mat isn’t blocking the the air vents. The vents on the floor produce the heat so if they are blocked it would be cold.2003 LC Cabin temperature not rising. So added coolant and burped radiator; however, the cabin temp doesn't rise to the Max Hot level like my 2001. Used the search engine and I guess I'm not using the right words so nothing shows up. I'm not getting any DTC codes either.
Any words of wisdom?? Thanks! It's being below freezing all week here in MT so this has become a priority!
