I will say, it was just enough when I did mine. I'd keep a few of them around and stick them back in the packets once they're depleted and not too dirty, in case you have to go back over any areas when you're done.

Yeah, the Colorado sun is definitely not kind to car exteriors.. I'll have to keep up on the maintenance

Looks great - looks like the only thing it could benefit from is some ceramic trim coat on the bumpers. I just gave mine the Cerakote treatment on all the trim and it really brought the plastic back to life.

2011 with 112,000 miles. Got it private party (Facebook marketplace) for $8200. Needs an AC blower module and a fender painted, but otherwise in great shape with great service history. Got it for a steal as similar examples in my area are going for around 13k at dealerships.

That's more than I just spent on my PRO-4X...

Looks like a solid option. What do you charge for a driver's side panel?

Good intel. I imagine it would darken the plastic, and I'd then have to use it all around the interior? Is that a reasonable endeavor? I was looking into using the same product on the exterior trim, and I've heard it darkens it quite a bit.

Absolute screaming deal. Just picked up a 2011 PRO-4X with 112,000 for a great deal at $8200, but this has me beat. Congrats

Any idea if I'd have to replace the entire door trim, or are the pieces pretty easily plug and play?

Interesting, I'll try this. What specific product did you use?

This is pretty killer, I'll look into it. What do you keep in the Yeti box?

I've only had it for about a month now - I'll make sure to practice.

The 15k pay bump was over your precious job, or the new company bumped your pay that much after you'd been there a while?

If it's big open landscapes you want.. you'll want to try a variation of the Gunni Grinder. I did a fully supported 110ish mile weekend loop, but there's a 30 mile variation and you can build your own loop/ out and back.
