I've been meaning to do this quite a long while. This morning when I was by Walmart. Decided to buy a box of 10 fuses each amp. Then took out all fuses and replaced with new fuses.

Interesting enough. Those inside the box in the engine bay were clean whereas the fuses coming from the box under the driver side were more corroded.

Just curious - why would you replace all the fuses if you weren't having any issues?

Wow I really like that sub install!

I am pretty damn happy to say the least! It sounds great and that sub is a great install looks very clean to me and simi factory (if it was a scion) lol

Today I just Plastidipped the front grille, rear emblems, took off the V8 emblem and Friday I got to do the heater hose tee's that are sitting on my microwave

Just bought mine! 1998 LC, with sunroof, winch and manual transmission. Couldn't be happier. It had 375K Kms, with a friend of mine who just bought a Lexus 5700.

Sweet! Can we get a pic or two? Also can you explain how you went about dipping the hatch area? I've been putting this off for no good reason other than hesitation.

Well first used a unused junk plastic credit type card to easily take off the V8 badge and then Goo Gone to get it all cleaned up.
I kept the Toyota and Land Cruiser badges on the car and taped them off in a square type pattern around them like the Youtube videos show.

Apply the black (or whatever color) plastidip in a first wet layer, dry 30 minutes, apply another coat, etc. I did 3 total coats.
Pull the tape off and then peel the rest away from the letters after its dried a hour or two. The small pieces inside the letters is a little harder you have to use a toothpick or small plastic pick to get those little bits out.

The front grille I just took it off the car and painted with 3 coats of the black and it looks pretty good.

Will post pics after I get home today

I would ask the same questions...fuses don't wear out as long as amperage flowing through them is normal.

Awesome thanks. I've just been scared to do the masking around the emblems... sounds fool-proof, so I'm not sure why I'm waiting...
I did my front grille the same way, came out great for me as well and it's holding up nicely after a few carwashes and a couple months' time. Why did you decide to take off the V8 badge?

Cleaner look with just "Toyota Land Cruiser" on there, personal preference

Gotcha, now that I think about it I suppose it is pretty on it's own over there...

I figure it makes people think you could have anything... a blown V8, V12, W12

 

[yotasavg]

Mmmmm W12...

 

[timer00]

Here is my amateur plastidip photos hah

 

[yotasavg]

Those look great! Nice job and thanks for posting up.

Just got my box of PowerStop rotors and pads. Doing this same job this weekend.

You notice any significant improvement?

 

[Cannon88]

super90! Long time no see. Hope you're doing well. Shooting any ducks?

I put the powerstop rotors/pads on my 80 and liked them a lot.
