putting on the RTT on first time, and prepping for its first big road trip in 15 years.
That looks really good. From the first pic it looks a little darker than the stock color. Is it?Took my new OEM front bumper and corners to get it wrapped to as close to factory metallic gray, since the corners and center bar do not match from Toyota and to get protection from rock chips.
Found a guy who does wraps out of his house and super happy with the results. I went and sourced the wrap and had him install it.
If you're out in Los Angeles and need his service, I would definitely recommend him. Very nice guy and price was very reasonable.
Wrap Details: PET Super Gloss Metallic Dark Gray. Not 100% like factory but worked for me.

It's darker than the center bar as I matched it to the darker bumper ends. You can see the difference in darkness on the wrap vs center bumper bar at the seam line. Again, not 100% match but consistent and protective which was my goal.
Got it. Thanks for those additional details. Super helpful!

Those look really good honestly.
Very cool. I don’t see these on your site though. 3+ means what exactly? For 3 inches of lift and greater or 3 inches of lift and moves the axle forward?

3 degrees over stock arms. I have 118 people on the " want list " once in hand I will contact those and then if any are left I will add to website with a new lead time.
Sounds good. That want list will dwindle fast once it’s comes time to cough up the $$.

YEP.... I'm used to this and why I do limited runs.... Been doing this for years. My rule of thumb is 10-15% will see it through.

Drove it to the mountains. Super comfortable ride and 13mpg with smoe mountains climbs and curvy backroads.
Last week I replaced the radiator, clutch fan, belts, and PS lines with OEM parts. Instead of a pic of that mess that now looks pretty clean, here are pics from a winter trip in eastern KY.
Same seats that are in my 80. On that driver seat I would see if you can get the bottom foam so you don't get a hole in your seat like I have.
Finally got around to replacing the felts on the passenger front side. Did all the driver's side long ago. Passenger side has been slow for awhile. Also bought Sil-Glyde to put on the regulators. So when I can convince myself to take the rest of the doors apart I'll lube the rest of them. Now to see if I can convince myself to do the rear passenger door since it's the last one.

The DBBB?
Absolutely love the Red River Gorge and the DBBB.
We ran some of the KAT (Kentucky Adventure Tour) near Harlan back in March. Had a blast.

You live in my neck of the woods, fellow Kentuckian. Maybe we’ll cross paths one day.
