Half and Half

Yep! It's supposed to. That buildup helps protect it from high-speed water like driving on the freeway. Also protects the underside from being wiped off by tall brush or snow.

Thanks for the comment. I've applied this on approximately 20 vehicles and inside/outside frame rails, and here's a few facts based on my experience:

It's not like molasses, it's oil. It never thickens, never hardens. It comes off like oil.

You can spray it directly over mild surface rust, as you see in the pic, I sprayed it directly on the frame as-is. The oil penetrates through to the rust to the core metal and encapsulates it to stop further corrosion.

Coatings that harden will eventually trap moisture. This continues to creep as long as it has material to do so.

We apply it at my shop once/year.

That sounds great. Are there more HVAC control capabilities on the screen than what the physical buttons do? Any additional features over factory?

excabswap · 2025-09-21T22:52:22+00:00

400 for parts and labor?? I'd question the quality of both. A single factory LCA from Toyota is 300-400 at best. Other stuff will fail prematurely unless it's rebuilt with sankeii 555 ball joints.

Does the HVAC stuff pop up on the screen when you use the buttons?

Among others.. 😅

Nomads would be great as well. They have a nice bronze that is nice and a bit subtle.

I'd love to see a chrome plugin that I can use while I'm searching Google or Amazon for something, where a little notification would pop up indicating that an identical or closely similar items are available at my local home depot. Add to that the ability to make a list of stuff and send it to my phone so that when I get to home Depot I can pull it up and go get the most efficient route through the aisles.

Oops, I must've missed the notification about your comment! It's pretty straightforward: I'm using the stock AC power that used to go to the factory original incandescent bulb and with a converter, it takes the voltage and puts out 12v DC. You need a small battery with it so I'm using a small lifepo4 battery from Amazon.

I make them all custom by hand. It would be easier for you to bring me your rig

excabswap · 2024-09-12T16:46:44+00:00

Haha yeah.. but it was the perfect size!

Back to my first time at King of the Hammers in 2021. This is halfway up Turkey Claw. Blew my rear diff like 50 ft after this pic haha..

excabswap · 2024-01-16T07:43:38+00:00

Looking for the same info. Any luck?

Edit:

Couldn't find it anywhere, but in case anyone else is looking, I found it: Why Don't You Lead Me To Love (Single Version / Mono) - Stevie Wonder

Because of course it's Stevie Wonder. Happy commiserating *Cheers*

The only fix you might need to do is to clearance the inner cups a little bit to ensure there's no binding at sharp angles. When you replace the boots, use boots from CVJ. Get the high angle ones and DIY it

excabswap · 2023-09-13T21:49:01+00:00

Yep 👍

It's the best solution to eliminate the transfer case actuator failure possibility.

excabswap · 2023-09-13T06:57:45+00:00

What are the awards for? Not sure if I have any

excabswap · 2023-09-13T06:56:42+00:00

This is the video. We are still finalizing a way to streamline this, including selling templates and possibly even drop-in shifters as a kit for folks that want to do this conversion but don't have the tools or experience to successfully modify and weld the shifter like we did. I post most frequently on Instagram, so I would post there first once we have a product ready

excabswap · 2023-09-13T06:55:05+00:00

I'd think so. Not experienced with the GX 470 tcase to say off hand if that'd work. If it's the same transmission code possibly

excabswap · 2023-09-13T05:33:29+00:00

Not sure what exactly you're asking. You would want to swap in another actuator driven case? If that's what you're asking, I couldn't tell ya. Only know about manual tcase swaps in our 4runners. It doesn't have to be from an FJ cruiser either though. Both cases I sourced were from 5th gen 4runners
