    I believe I have chip in my '23's paint that was caused by that garnish panel. It's right on the lower right corner where the garnish would/ could hit the paint if flexed etc. I will be mentioning it next service.

    A body estimator is who to talk to. There's a guy at Toyota Carlsbad's Collision Center who is really knowledgeable and could be a great ally. DM if you would drive up so I can give details.

    On January 28 I pulled the trigger. I decided on RSG angled sliders with top plate and kickouts. It took exactly 4 weeks for them to arrive and UPS did an awesome job of emailing the status. RSG packaged these perfectly. They used pillow-thick foam padding on both ends (not pictured). I can’t install them this weekend because I’ll be doing other things but the following weekend is all set to put these bad boys on. I’ve done extensive research, so I feel like I can do it. I’ll document it properly and post it here when I do it. Pretty excited, my first real mod.

    Did a little polishing today to get the paint looking a bit fresher. Also got the Luno mattress in the mail. It said to leave inflated for 48hrs when you first get it, so it will just live there a couple of days.

    Didn’t you buy those tires like back in October and have been singing their praises through all your many miles traveling around having abusive off-roading adventures? Now you think the place you bought them from should take them back because you’ve decided you want mud tires?

    These were my second choice, first being SCS Ray10. But the negative offset would have been more problems later when its time to upgrade, based on all I have read.

    Small and subtle change but I'm not a fan of chrome at all, just used 3M vinyl wrap here

    Cut a piece about an inch longer around all sides of the logo, make sure you clean the surface first and start applying the vinyl in the center of the logo and work your way to the edges. If you have any way to heat the vinyl it's going to help you a lot (hairdryer, heat gun) to work your way into the crevices once you get the top surface covered. If you don't have any vinyl wrap tools just look for something small and flat that you can use to push and tuck the vinyl into the edges (that won't scratch or damage it, edge of a business/credit card can work well), good vinyl is pretty forgiving so if you need to pull it up and stretch it to work out any bubbles or creases it's not too bad, especially if you can warm it up. The better you can wrap the vinyl around the logo, the easier it's going to be to cut so take your time forming around the vinyl. Once your ready just be careful when cutting taking your time around the curves. Also, cutting slighter over the logo if you can't tell exactly where the edge is can be helpful so you can just tuck the excess into the edges when you're finished cutting.

    Installed a compact air horn that I got from Amazon. I used this brand to install a set of horns on my 2018 Aprilia motorcycle, so not totally unknown to me. Wired it up so it works with the OEM horns, which I replaced with a set of Fiamm Freeway Blasters. Followed the wiring diagram, using the supplied relay, tested it first with jumper wire leads, and all was good. Figured out where to mount the horn and relay, then wired everything up. Measured the sound output using a dB meter at a distance of 12 feet from the middle of the front bumper. With just the Fiamm Freeway Blasters, max output of four beeps was 99 dB. Hooked up the compact air horn, repeated the process, and max output was 106 dB.

    What came in the box:

    Horn mounted on the center "brace" under the hood latch. Used a nut to space the horn mount away from the brace, with large washers on both sides:

    Relay and relay ground mounted using existing bolts (red is fused, goes to battery positive; white to ground; yellow to air horn positive; blue to OEM horn positive):

    Dual Fiamm Freeway Blasters I mounted a while ago:

    Set of Farbin horns I mounted on my Aprilia:

    Knocked out this Ironman lift a few evenings ago. A little over 4 hours with help from the wife to align the UCA bolts. (Good opportunity to exercise those innuendoes..)

    Wheels and tires on too and an alignment done.
