Nice! When you will be in Latvia, i'll give you new owner contacts. If he will disagree to swap prado to gx, i'll give you extra key from my ex-prado(have it just in case ) Afer it's up to you. For sure new owner have insurance
Yes, It's good city for living. If you have good profit
Most people around the world even don't know that there is such country as Latvia. So for sure here won't be any war of something like that, because nobody knows where Latvia is
Even hurricanes don't know what is Latvia. So it's good country

Pathfinder - I really like the LED strips in the grill next to the fog lights. Got a question though: how did you connect them? To which wires?

Update: I saw on page 5 that you are using Audi DRL lights from iJDM Toys and DRL Daytime Running Light Car Control On/Off Switch Relay Harness from eBay. Could you please provide any instructions you may have one this installation?

Also, have anyone converted the 1156 bulb for the signal/DRL to another type of bulb, like 1157? I found out that they don't make switchback LEDs for 1156. My goal is to have LED strips (either like the ones Pathfinder has or the ones inside the fog lights like the Youtube video below) and LED DRL/signal lights but both sets of LEDs need to be switchback between 5000k/Amber.


Thanks!

Just unbolted it and sanded/cleaned it, and then sprayed a base coat with 3m undercoat rubber. Then I did 3 coats of plasti-dip(fades less over time) with an hour between coats.

Hey,

It looks great!

I'm going to try mine with three or four coats of Plasti Dip and see if I like it.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Glad to see more GX owners running NTGs. I have about 20-25K miles on mine and they still have plenty of tread left and drive just as smooth and as quiet as day one.

You won't gain 2mpg just switching to NTGs over a street tire. He probably had worn / old tires and an alignment out of spec.
