Nice shots of the gorge in the background.

Your truck looks fantastic. I love the tail lights. How hard is it to wire up the turn signals/etc? Does it just plug n play?

I think the stock tails have the turn signals on the the top...looks like the Prado lights have them below?

Default Tail Lights

The lights are basically plug and play. However there have been different modifications for Prado Lights so I can't speek for all of them. But all of them should be single harness plug and play.

The Blacked Out parts of the lights are a turn signal and Reverse (Back Up) Lights.

Looks great, did you paint headlights inside? What kind xenon do you have? Is it 6000k?

What color is your GX? A stock one? Looks darker than silver but more grey than the grey/blue color (can't recall the name)..

Also, did you get your wheels painted? What color?

Best looking GX I have seen.

Smile Re: Re: Re:

Thanks for the compliments,

The exhaust is of a Generic brand. But it sounds amazing. Not too loud, No drone! And It's NOT a "TRUE DUAL EXHAUST", because there is not enough space under the car. The colour is stock. ASH GREY.

I painted the Grill + Headlights + Fog Lights + Rims all in the same colour. CHARCOAL.

To paint the Headlights + Fog Lights one must bake them in the oven, take them apart, paint them, Reseal them with 3M, than put them back in the oven to cure. However there is risk of moisture getting inside.

I run 8000K HID's.

I removed my fog lights because of moisture getting in and burning out my HID's lol. I ordered new ones which are on the way!

how tough was it to get the toyota badge into the front grille?

and, how tough is it to get the side steps off, and does it look goofy w/them off?

thanks!

The Running boards are fairly easy to take off, the car does look more of a proper off road truck. I do take it off road every now and then. However the truck does tend to look like something is missing on it when the running boards are off. It looks a bit cheaper without them + you can see the chassis sticking out. I however am planning on getting sliders instead and paint them to match the colour of the car!

The Toyota emblem is a bit hard to fabricate into the grill because you need to find an emblem that is the same size. You need to cut the center part of the grill out and try to make the toyota emblem stay in place by using 3M tape or gorilla glue or wot eva you prefer!

The end result is perfect! It looks very original!

All i need to do is get 2 fenders a bonnet and a bumper (ARB) and I got myself an Ultra Luxury Prado.
