I understand about having a shop do the work. For me, generally I either have the time and not the money so I do it myself, or I have the money and not the time and just let the shop handle it. With my GX, I had a shop do most of the work.
LOL, Thanks Eddie, she's a quality item.
Hitting the trails this weekend. Gunlock Utah
Roaming around El Dorado National Forest.

Slapped on some fresh wheels a couple weekend ago. In the pictures below, it has 1.25” wheel spacers but I’ve since removed those. I just needed to buy an extra long antimarring lug nut socket.
And now I’m getting it ready for its journey into the paint booth this weekend after finishing prep on all the Prado parts

What? No more Nori Green???
Peridot Mica color match for the Prado parts?

Staying with peridot mica. I just had some deep tree branch scratches, rock chips along the door bottoms, and a few dents/door dings on the door skins so the front doors are getting a full respray so they’ll 100% match the new parts. The back doors will get color on most of the door and blended into the quarter panels into the back edge to be a perfect paint match since I’m not repainting them because that would involve door jambs and all sorts of stuff that’s not needed.
The rear bumper will probably have a slightly different color to it (as it does now) regardless as paint always lays a little differently on plastic vs metal
I'm up at my property in Oregon. I should have brought the truck:
I am SO jealous of that nori green. I saw one when I was shopping around and the price was a nope for me.

no, this is way better. It give the kids the opportunity to discover the spiders all by themselves on the ride home...
Just a reminder for those that may not know… Peridot Mica is color similar to Nori Green that was only offered 2010-2011
I will have to double check but may still be the rarest color on a 460 even when compared to ‘22-‘23 Blackline Nori Green numbers

Painting went well. A few dust nibs to wet sand out. The hood and fenders need to be aligned and torqued down but I’m waiting on new fender liners and hardware for that.
The camera paint scanning system returned a 93% match to peridot mica out of all the colors out there in the system.
Amazingly enough, for a paint that I thought was metallic, it actually doesn’t have any metallic in it, it’s pearl.

Got to hit a few trails while up at Bryce Canyon this weekend.
Chill cruising around Palomar Mtn for father's day.
A few more (first pic is poodle dog bush!!):
One of the first places I visited in San Diego when I was stationed there in the 70's. My grandfather was involved in the making of that 200" mirror. Corning Glass in Corning, NY they broke the mold on the first pour. Then shipped the final mirror from Corning to Pasadena by train and had to remove a few bridges along the way. Not positive but think it is still the largest single piece of glass to be ever poured.
I was supposed to be a Ceramic Engineer like my Grandfather but went Nuclear instead. He told me to give his slide rule back when I did LOL.
Awesome story, esp the slude rule HAH! I've heard that about the glass too, so might be true. Next time I go up there I'll try to do an official tour and ask them.
I've been up there quite a few times and this was the first time I got to go up in the fire lookout on boucher!
