a very wussy forest drive... but check out that stock flex!

 

nice pics. you got a nice runner.

now lose the running boards.

 

Pics look great!

 

i'll lose the boards when i put new meats on

thanks for the compliments.

 

sweet pics Lee, love the fall colors

 

Ditto !!!

 

Sweet runner but forest? Looks more like a state park! Bet you had to chase the picknickers away to get a picture. J/k Is your 4runner always that clean? Mine usually is and I catch so much crap for it! Not clean now (see went ofroading today in trip section)!

 

yea i pretty much always keep it clean. mainly just enjoying the opportunity before the winter hits.

in winter, its impossible to keep clean, but i wash her about once every couple of weeks, sometimes more depending on the salt levels on the road.

i catch crap for it too... my friends think i have o.c.d. about the cleanliness of my truck

i know thats not a forest, its basically the outer edge of one. the main route through the trees over the brush was blocked off due to flooding from the weekend before or something.

oh well.. theres always next time.

 

Looks great!

I love that front license plate.

 

Purdy. Which products do you use on your paint?....How about some Tundra coils?

Gooooooooo Dunlop!

 

i know, i want some new tires real bad! too bad theres the whole "needing money" thing. stupid consumerism.

on my paint, i just used a meguires deep cleaner/swirl remover (it did NOT remove the swirls, but did clean the paint very well) and a meguires polish.

GO SOX!

 

Lee, great shots! I'll tell you, New England has the best Fall colors of anywhere in the country.

For swirl removal on Toyota 202 Black, the best method I've tried that really works is a Porter-Cable random orbital buffer and Griot's polish followed by their wax. My last Cruiser was 202 Black and full of swirls from commercial car washes by the prior owner. It became a swirl-free mirror shine. Oh yeah, avoid the Meguiars pro products like Fine Cut Cleaner with the P-C on a non-clearcoat finish like 202.

 

thanks for the tip -- would the griots polish work as well if applied by hand?

i live in an apt, and have no means of plugging in an orbital buffer

 

Griots sells hand polish too..and hand polish pads. Might wanna start working out your arms early.

 

sounds good to me

you can see some of the annoying swirls in the 1st pic...
cant wait to get rid of em.

thanks
