    I like the cleaner look and as a step they were useless for me anyway.

    My 4Runner is still just over 500 miles old. When I bought it, I decided to get it Ceramic coated before the birds, bugs, door dingers, and road salt had their way with it. I gave it a gentle wash and it came out looking great (at least I think so). I expected to have it done professionally - until I got a quote to have it done. Then I decided to watch some YouTube video on do-it-yourself options and decided to take the 99% discount and bought a 16 oz spray bottle of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray.

    As I said, Started with a gentle wash:

    IMG_0730.jpg

    Then, with all the skill of a first time rookie, I followed the instructions: one microfiber for application, one for buffing off and spent less than an hour. I managed to compress that down to 3 minutes on YouTube:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sHXOE7aeW8

    It still looks great, and it was easy to apply. Of course, it will be interesting to see how it holds up to a day of rain tomorrow, and then how long it holds up in the longer run. Like at 1, 3, and 6 months. I don't expect the durability of a professionally applied ceramic, but I enjoy spending time with my vehicles, and I have another 99 applications till the value proposition tips the other way.

    I had my Tacoma for 11 years in New England. The body was actually in good shape, even with some custom trail pinstriping. Only the rear bumper was starting to show signs of rust. So I didn't bother ceramic coating my 4Runner. The frame on my taco wasn't looking great though.

    Had the 10,000 mile service done. Dealership said there was a bulletin for reprogramming the DCM. Anyone know about that?
    Then drove it about 250 miles round trip and got almost 20 MPG, which was a big improvement over what I got on my last trip of any length.

    Yep.. I spent several hours on Sunday working on her with a buffer, some polish, and a light... 99% of the swirls are gone now.

    240 miles into ownership and decided to go ahead and get her ceramic coated. Product used was Gtechniq CSL.


    Today, I also ordered the TRD Pro front and rear black valances. I can’t stand the silver they put on the Off-Roads.

    Finally upgraded wheels and tires. Blacked out emblems. I’m not a huge fan of lifts, but I might add at least a small front end lift.

    I agree, not much of a fan of tall lifts but my stock ORP is getting bilstein 5100 shocks all the way around and the .85 lift setting in the front as soon as I can get to the install.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    Got my North Carolina drivers license and registered the 4Runner here. Good riddance NYS!
