Your the only 4x4 channel I still watch. Like I have said in other videos your budget friendly and realistic approach without biased product reviews makes me happy. Just great editing and all around absolute legend.

Thanks heaps David, that’s a really nice comment 😆 glad you’re enjoying the episodes!!

@@BigBlackClock86imma have to check out what kinda suspension this is, but whether or not $10k is budget is kinda relative. Depends what you want it to do. If you're looking to hit big whoops and jumps that might be pretty reasonable. I know I've designed and parted out a 4-link that doesn't need to be as strong as that kinda thing and the parts, including relocating the gas tank, were around $2k, and that was with much less expensive shocks than you'd want for that kinda thing, since this was for a drift truck rather than a desert truck. I could see doing all four wheels in a beefier way costing $10k eeeeasily.

@JesteringJohn Год назад

When doing plastics, you should always use a adhesion promoter before using a primer or sealer that way it is guaranteed to stick and not have cracking (what you saw)

@mathewgraham2876 Год назад

Thats what plastic primer is a adhesion promoter, if u put the plastic primer on too heavy it will crack

@MrPepelongstockings 5 дней назад

So... which product to use first, how? Lighter coat of any plastic primer?

@thegamingchanel100 Год назад

just a tip for painting over the chrome you don’t even have to paint at all! if you put the parts in a bucket fully submerged in concentrated zep degreaser it actually strips off the chrome and leave you with black!

@hakimdurand8427 7 месяцев назад

Hmmmm so if I did this to my windowsills chrome on my accord it should black it out...? I was thinking to just spray plastidip on it incase u wanna go back chrome

@phicarious8814 6 месяцев назад

@@hakimdurand8427 I actually went with the vinyl strips. Found on Amazon, 4"x48" black rolls. I went with gloss black and it matches the body almost perfectly. You can always remove it whenever you want and it'll last for a good while. If you do decide to take this route, be extra cautious with cutting along the window base. I cut through a couple spots of that rubber strip that seals against the window and it drives me crazy lol. Just a suggestion!

Use the heatgun for your heatshrink next time stops the heatshrink from burning also get some glue lined heatshrink works much better outside of the cab keeping the water out i picked up a assorted box for like 40 bucks from autobarn

@higherwrldsprodction2955 Год назад

if the chrome bits are black plastic underneath you can let sit in Zep industrial de-greaser to eat the chrome, turning the part black.

@bavarianblessed Год назад

Couple of pointers about the paint Lacquer based primer/paint won't mix with enamels as you discovered so just verify what type you are buying to keep things compatible The paint job may have been dried completely but most paints need an additional cure time as well. This is important because the curing process can release gasses (off-gassing) that will haze the inside of the housing lenses and once they are hazed you'll never get them looking mint again. I usually bake painted parts in an oven at 200F for a few hours to expedite that process

@RoamLyfe Год назад

That’s great advice mate!! Hopfully others will see! Thanks so much!

@Mopar_illmatic Месяц назад

@Tanner731 Год назад

great job on these, I did my own as well for my 4runner (hilux surf) its an easy and rewarding project. for the chromed plastics you can actually just dunk them in purple power for a little bit and itll strip all the chrome off

@charleslastname8587 Год назад

You can definitely use a drill to screw them on faster, just use one where you can change the amount of torque and put it on a low setting and just hand tighten.

@MiniLuv-1984 Год назад

"Sparky boom booms"...nice. I reckon the sanded back look on the chrome looked brilliant. Some clear over the top, job done. I was hoping to see low bean/high beam action :( perhaps on another episode? Nice job though - they do look different. Not sure what I prefer, but it is your 4b after all!🤔 Thanks for the step by step and pointers to remove the clear covers. The cardboard oven is effective, so thumbs up and thanks.

Doing this next week, im on school holidays finally and im pulling my prado 120s bullbar off, then hesdkights out, then grille out, and tgen rhino rack off. Just ordered some angry eye BILED bushdoof 3 inch headlights and they come in 4 days hopefully. Bullbars gonna go gloss black and then roof rack is getting resprayed. Same with the grille, also getting gloss black, and then the headlights are also going gloss black with the bushdoof headlights. And i also have their 6ft RGB whip to go with it, cant wait for the lift kit to come too. The 0 offset 16 inch ATI beadlocks and 33 inch nitto ridge grappler sare also gonna make her look mint.

@markgrygorcewicz2543 Год назад

Hi Guys. Don't want to sound like a Karen.... but modifying your headlights will defect your vehicle as it is changing the ADR of the Lights. Cops will now have the legitimate reason to Defect your vehicle and immediately have you off the road... Just Saying Most of these style headlight modifications come with a clause stating these changes are for off road use only. Its sucks I know.... look good though!

@laurenceangelopontejos5856 Год назад

The projector itself is ADR compliant. However, the RGB feature can only be used off road. But then again, it depends on which state you live in.🤷🏽‍♂️
