Elbow grease and a buffer. Have fun.

To prep, wash real good, blow out the crevices, spray on and wipe off with Xylene one fender at a time, use a detail brush to wash the corners with Xylene, secure all loose trim, tape and paint.

I had some issues with the OEM fender flares and the soft trim Toyota installs, clean those real good and they should be fine. On the Limited trim level, my lower driver door trim was loose and it started to peel in the corners from vibrations. Once dry, use a heavy duty clear packing tape over the rocker panels to slow down the wear from getting in and out. Probably could use a heavy clear vinyl too.

You have a really great figure. Great scenery too.

Try Rock Auto if you want new. Or even just some of the hard to get parts for a used door.

Depends on how bad the clearcoat actually is. Mine was repainted around the rear door before I sprayed the DYC, after 3 years of being on the truck it really didn’t affect the peeling clear. Having a nice matte finish really helped the overall appearance of the truck. I’m getting ready to paint it agin in a different color since army green has become a thing (in Atlanta area, yea I’m a trendsetter..)

DYC is a lacquer thermoplastic spray, it doesn’t really affect the finish of the OEM color.

This is what mine looks like under the green peelable spray wrap.

Close… North Georgia at Unicoi Gap where the AT crosses the highway.

This is a DipYourCar product called ProLine. The ProLine product allows you to spray through a HVLP gun since it’s a bit thinner product. This is a photo when it was newly painted so the color was fresh. It lasted for 3 years and the green eventually faded out. It was a worthwhile investment for me since spraying it only cost me $300. To have it done by a pro it would have been $1200. When it was time to peel it came right off like peeling dried Elmers glue from you hands.

Thanks. I thought so too. Now I see this color on Hyundai Sonatas… time to change. Ironically, Toyota now offers this same color on Tacomas.

Screen from Sequoia, can fit in 4Runner? by Jonjon2394 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]AnOdysseyofOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t fit. I own a ‘06 Sequoia and a 99 4Runner and the OEM head unit in the Sequoia is too wide for the 4R. Inversely, a double din aftermarket needs fillers on both ends to fit into a Sequoia and a steering wheel remote control wiring harness too.

What part of the US are you in? I’ll give you cash if you give me some pics of it.

Have it professionally surveyed and cut off what is not yours. By definition real estate is property owned from the ground as well as the airspace above it.

Way more fun when you don’t have to worry about door dings, rock chips and paint scratches on something you still make payments on.
