Never a bad time for Depos. I had Ray at www.rallylights.com / Susquehanna MotorSports make the harness, he has all the logic down for a clean single harness for the Depo headlight install. I picked up the TEQ badge which is available in custom colors at http://www.bh3dprinting.com/

Yeah! I did the Depos awhile back, and followed a mud thread on wiring up a simple conversion to the slew harness. I had to paint the surrounds black. It was just too much chrome for me.

Your TEQ emblem looks really clean. I think bhicks had a "Toyota" emblem spelled out too at one point. I miss my old grill that said Toyota. I would consider getting one of those if he made them again.

I did same on all my chrome. I prefer TEQ or Land Cruiser over Toyota. I debadged all sombreros and Toyota badges. I just used a 100 model Land Cruiser badge for my rear hatch and the TEQ on front grille, all other badges were removed. On the Depo lights, I had a slee harness and used the Innovative Wiring Harness pigtail for the connection to the Depo lights. I was having some paint work done and I advised paint shop to install plug and play....Oops. I had a polarity issue and lights were not grounded, so my wife fried the Slee harness driving it home from the shop. The Susquehanna harness is much beefier then the Slee Harness and the harness is setup to use the H4 high beams and low beams when high beams are on. Definitely any upgrade over the Slee harness all around for the Depo lights.

Your rig is one of the nicest I have seen...definitely jaw dropping. Very tastefully done.

Summit,
I hope you don't mind I used your rig as inspiration for my own paint scheme (don't worry, we live far apart :) )

Looks good! What bed liner did you use?

I don't mind at all. I really like that body moulding strip on the side. In a way, I kind of copied everyone with that gray strip with my black pint because I couldn't find the moulding available for less than $800.

Summitt,

What tint % do you have on your windows?

Can't remember exactly, but it's 10% or 15%.
 
I used UPol's Raptor kit since I already had an air compressor, just went with black. About $125 or something when it was all said and done! Not too bad for an afternoon's work.

How long have you had it on? Any fading/discoloration? I have had to respray all of my rustoleum bed liner due to fading and discoloration, and I'm looking at doing that again in the near future.
 
I've only had it a month so I can't say much for it's durability. However, I did a bit of research and of all the DIY liners this one seems to hold up the best for folks for this particular application. I prepped like mad, scuffing as well as used a good adhesion primer on the plastics and acid etch primer on the front / rear bumpers (where metal was exposed).

Oh, and no fading or discoloration so far.

Holy, s%*t that thing looks good.
 
I know I'm jumping on this one a little bit late, but with the black around the windows did you just hit the existing paint with the gloss clear? Or did you add an additional layer of black over whatever came stock and then hit it with the clear?

Everything except the lower part of the engine bay was repainted. The black around the windows was sanded down, sprayed with gloss black, and then cleared.
