Builds Total Restoration 1997 40th Anniversary Cruiser

[scottryana]

Oh wow I didn't even know there was a black pearl specific rear name plate! That is a nice touch.

It is an early Christmas. Guess what a Mud Member procured for me... a brand new black pearl 40th Anniversary liftgate nameplate.
The only one left in the US! This is the last 40th specific item needed for my restoration!View attachment 1137521

The truck was just sent to ForceField Paint Protection for panel protection via Xpel Ultimate.

Just got almost 98% of everything assembled and done.

• Full wrap with 3M Xpel Ultimate. We wrapped the entire hood, both front fenders, all the doors and all the flares. There are no visible seams as all the edges wrap around the edges of the panel. Wow this film is awesome. You cannot detect it. The install was perfect.
  
• We then had Opti Coat Pro applied to the entire truck, including the wheels for extra protection and to eliminate the need to wax the truck ever again. Opti Coat is a paint coating that adds protection and shine to the car.
• Wired up the new front Rigid Light Bar on the Slee bumper to a new Slee Toyota OEM switch
• Wired up the new rear Rigid LED Dualy lights to a new Slee Toyota OEM switch
• Relocated the Warn Winch Control box on the bumper to make room for the Rigid front light bar
• Reinstalled all the interior trim
• Added new dead pedal
• Replaced original instrument cluster plastic lens with new OEM
  
• Tinted windows. Since all the new glass is now clear, the tint is now uniform all around the truck. No more crappy metallic looking tinted factory windows

Just in case I win the Lottery tomorrow, what does a full wrap with 3M Xpel Ultimate cost?

Did we miss where you said how much the initial paint job ran you? I'm getting my HDJ81 painted sage, and would love to have some quotes. Absolutely stunning build so far
