No no your not being picky 😉..I wanted to do them silver but have nothing brush on in the shed, would take off and spray them but they never come off after years on the vehicle.
Will see how much work to mask them off.
Run out of time today ....job for next week 👍🏻

Will see how much work to mask them off. Run out of time today ....job for next week 👍🏻 Speaking of drop-links, how well do they last on 4.2s? Having owned 5 of them now, I have never had to replace them (and our first 02-reg had over 90k and 11 years on it when we traded it). I was going to have a look at them on our current RAV but never quite get around to it. I sometimes wonder if I look for things to do when the car is so utterly reliable (touch wood!). Mind you, I draw the line at anything to do with paint; I hate painting! 😅 |

If you get no light knocking over bumps leave them alone 👍🏻 Decide to fit new disc and pads, pads are only down to 7mm (new 8mm) but no brand name on the back, also discs have no brand ....so just ordered blueprint disc/pads £58.00 delivered 👍🏻 I stripped the brakes calipers down and no wear or corrosion on the piston or the bore.....got to love Toyota engineering 😎   |
