I decided to take the plasti dip off and pulled the letters off first. Looks good but won't keep it as it is not clean if you look close.

Looks super! Mine is sitting in the garage. Haven't got to it yet. How long did it take start to finish?
New wheels and tires on Tuesday!!! Couldn't swing 35's cause this is our family road trip machine and I don't have a spot for the spare yet! Once I get a rear bumper I'll jump up to 35's also, hey "A guy needs two pairs of shoes" right
new tires? wotjaget ?
just picked up the little tow dealeo that ya slide in the tow hitch spot, nothing major! New tires on Tuesday, 285/70/R18's in the BFG Mud Terrain flavor!
Mine is still holding up. Impressed you got yours to stick on the small in between spots. Need to go back and touch mine up or just bite the bullet and actually paint that garnish or have it painted.
Lot of Frontrunner racks going on.
It is an easy job, just time consuming. I think it took me about 1.5-2 hours. That includes taking the factory one off.

Flushed brake fluid on 2013 LC200 with PCS system. Procedure is slightly different than the traditional pump method. Ignition needs to be ON position with engine off. Start with front RT with pedal method. Then front left. Right rear is done by pressing pedal down ( no pump required) and motor will do pumping and then move to left rear. Brake fluid needs to be between min and max marks in reservoir and cap needs to be installed during bleeding operation. When doing rear brakes make sure not exceed 100 second when pedal is pressed.

I've actually left it on partly due to laziness and I like the look. I bet if I re-did it I could get it better. I used a toothpick to help go around the smaller letters and spaces. Also it's been on for about a month so maybe it settled more?

NEW???? It's BETTER than new!!!
Atwalz, great info. Thanks for posting. In the instructions for this method, was there any description of what could happen if you leave the rears open too long?
I just installed stainless lines last weekend and didn't follow this procedure. Don't think I had the lines open too long, just curious of what might have been affected.
planning on re-bleeding this weekend.....

100 seconds are critical during bleeding rear brakes while pedal is pressed. Pressing brake pedal activates motor pumping action. If pedal is not pressed then changing brake lines should be ok. This method only applies if you have PCS and radar cruise control. Pm me your email I can send detail instructions.

Yours is 2008 MY and traditional method of repeated pedal pressing to bleed brakes works fine. 100 second rule is for rear brakes only and truck equipped with pre-crash safety system (PCS).

I got my rims back from the powder coat shop and had the tires remounted. I did a semi-gloss black that matches the bumper nicely. I still need to paint the center caps, but I honestly think it looks pretty good without them. The front and rear hubs are both black, so they're not very noticeable (distracting?). I might need to look into black lug nuts though. Overall, it really does look more aggressive, even with my street-friendly Michelin A/T2s.

But it looks so wrong without a rear black bumper
I may have misunderstood this but 2008 does have PCS.
Thanks
I was thinking of you Kreiten when I saw a set of Rock Warriors with 34" bfg AT in your neighbourhood. I think they were around 1300$ for the set. I found them while looking for a wheel to finish my set. Sorry a little late for you.
Found them if someones interested in tires and Rock Warriors outside of Seattle.
BF Goodrich 34s and Toyota TRD Wheels

So true. That's exactly what I told my wife when she came out to "inspect" my work. Her response: "It just doesn't look like a land cruiser anymore." I beg to differ...
