Builds The Mall Crusher (1 Viewer)

I’m also in Houston. I have a set of wheels and interest in getting them powder coated just like yours. Do you mind sharing the shop where you got them powder coated and cost?

I believe it was around $125/rim plus tax. I got them done at Spray Kote in Conroe. Turn around time is about a week.

The biggest hassle if you don’t have an extra set of rims is leaving your vehicle on jack stands for over a week while rims are being powder coated.

I will be selling (4) factory rims from my 2010 if you are interested. They are in perfect shape. If so, send me a PM.

Finally got around to having my TJM T13 bumper installed. Added a Smittybuilt X20 12K Winch with synthetic rope, Factor 55 1.5” Fairlead, and a Factor 55 Prolink. Had the TJM turn signals wrapped in smoke film and the TJM fog lights wrapped in yellow film. Very much pleased with the result. Next up will be adding lights. Looking at the Stedi 7.5” round LED’s from AUS as the most likely choice.

Beautiful South Texas day for an oil change. Mobil 1 Synthetic, TRD Oil Filter, BG 44k Fuel Treatment.

Installed my new Jowett Oil Filter housing @bjowett
Beautiful craftsmanship and great design. I look forward to this saving me time and ease on all my future oil changes.

Installed matte black decals from TVD Decals on my rear Land Cruiser plate. Definitely makes the “Land Cruiser” stand out. Probably will keep some people from thinking I drive a Sequoia

This is awesome! I’ve been looking for this same thing but can’t find them. I just looked on the TVD website and don’t see the Land Cruiser decals. Did you have to call them for a special request?

Never mind - I found them. Great thread!

My right passenger rear Window door belt molding rubber started to tear. Went ahead and replaced door belt moldings on all 4 doors. McGeorge Toyota Online was the best price I could find. Roughly $160 for all 4 moldings delivered.

Air Blower Motor started to whine. Enough for me to order a new OEM blower motor. Swapped it out in less than 20 minutes and all is nice and quiet again inside the cabin!

McGeorge Toyota online was the best price I could find. Picked up a TRD oil filter as well for oil change in the next couple of weeks.

So you don't have to disassemble the dash? Just pull the glove box? Any install beta would be appreciated!

Only had to pop out the panel plate under the dash on passenger footwell. Remove a bracket covering the blower motor (2 screws), then unbolt a few screws holding in the blower motor. Motor then slides out and you unplug harness. 15 minute one banana job.

Why new calipers? Did you have some sort of failure?

 

[tbisaacs]

Was going to ask the same. I'm still on original calipers @ 140k. No issues.

I have 210k now and my passenger rear caliper started having issues. Decided to replace all 4 since this is our family hauler and I plan on keeping it for a really long time.

Scored a smoking deal on a takeoff set of Tundra Pro rims and tires off Facebook Marketplace.

Ordered the HE center caps and lugs.

Next up will be choosing a new set of off road tires!
