Added Wellvisors. They are much better than my old Weather tech visors, quieter, and have much more coverage.
Whats the part# for those visors. I have wells too but their come with black chrome. I like that textured look on those.
Here's a better Pic too that isn't potato quality. Here's the part number for this version. Think they list as "premium"
Thanks man. That sliver pine metallic shines great. Mines dull. Do you have a build thread or Instagram?
No build thread really. Been chopping on this rig since 2016, it was mint one owner when I bought it, all the damages I've done myself
. The paint really isn't that great anymore, it's a 20 footer for sure. Front bumper is pretty oxidized, I polished it out once quite a few years ago but it's back to crap, and the whole body has lots of little scrapes/dings.
Late post, but back in June I upgraded to GX460 front calipers & refreshed the rears. I utilized Napa Adaptive One reman calipers, Brembo blank rotors (GX460 spec front, GX470 spec rear), Akebono ASP brake pads all around & did a brake fluid flush.
(It was yesterday but) I greased the driveshaft for the first time. Spent about an hour on my back, greasing, and also added the AC drain extension.
I think I might have put too much grease in the slip yokes. I've been getting a low creak during braking. (Or was it so dry that it's now getting some stiction from the grease in the splines?
)

You might want to pull the driveshaft apart, clean out all the grease, then manually grease the splines, put it back together, and hit up up with no more than 5 pumps. More pumps than that and you'll pack too much grease at the end of the slip yolk and possibly mess up the shaft. You'll need to put it back together the same orientation it went out (splines), so be sure to mark the slip yolk relative to the main shaft before you remove it. If it ends up going together different both the balance and U-joints will be out-of-sequence and you may have driveline vibration.
If it still makes noise after cleaning and greasing, replace the driveshaft (around $300 from any Toyota dealer). Driveshafts on these are a wear item, by 150K they are probably going to need to be replaced unless they have been greased perfectly at every oil change since the rig was new. You should get in the habit of adding no more than 5 pumps to the yolks at every 5K oil change.
Still loving the clunk-free ride from my new OEM driveshaft

While visiting California we took the opportunity to explore Joshua Tree. Really happy with the new camera and the pictures we've been getting.
Great shots! What's your suspension lift and tire size?
Hey thanks! I'm running Dobinsons twin tube shocks and their 1.5 inch lift coils. All other suspension components are OEM. Tires are 265/70r17.
Installed a Raingler cargo barrier to replace the cheapie one from Amazon I had been using.
Removed the rice tip from the tailpipe. Next will be a few coats of matte black high temp paint.
I want that MagnaFlow OL but do not want any drone. This will do.
Also freed my spline extractor from the front diff drain plug. Worked like a champ.
