Ive been mucking around with a new boot badge this weekend, guttered the old one, added a new emblem etc etc.

But now I need to stick it on. What sort of glue do you guys recommend. Im after something like what they stick the factory badges on with, that stuff is pretty sticky.

Im gonna add a sweet scull into the front grill and go for a bit of a "punisher" theme on my car.

Pics below, only stuck on with blue- tac for effects.

There are a couple of ways of doing this, test it before actually doing this to your car, i see some people using really expensive double sided tape, making sure that the surfaces are both clean and free of grease, apply the tape onto the badge first then onto your car and hold for 30 seconds or so. another way is to use contract glue, the expensive stuff, not that stuff you get at woolies. mark out where its going onto the car, brush it on (masking tape may assist but remove whilst still wet or you get little stringy bits) both badge and boot, wait till try making sure no dirt flies onto it when wet and press together and hold for a while. The contact glue was used on my toyota badge by a professional as i watched him do it and the tape was done by my friend when he ordered a holden badge as his one was pried off. But test on scrap timber or metal to see which one suits you, its a shame if it fell off or gets stolen. The double sided tape is more neat, but the contact if done properly lasts for ages.

Eargunk probly said half of this but i cbf reading through his post anyway ive stuck many badges on my car and from experience i find that all you need to do is

clean the serface of both things your boot and the back of the badge with some turps or metho

get some 3m or scotch i think there the same but w/e cut it to shape or just to fit on your badge and stick her on ive done it a few times to my rear toyota emblem also because ive took it off to paint it and never comes off and is as hard as toyota factory i used to work at toyota and they dont use any glues that i know of for badges well at least not for the camry and aurions

Steven,

3M double sided tape, very clean surface, light and even pressure on the badge for a few minutes will work best, whilst not compromising the paint. The 3M stuff is brilliant.

I've used silicone to paste badges to motorcycle engines and they're still there after 100K ks, tolerating the heat and vibration. Not sure what the silicone will do to paint though.

get some devcon into ya!! haha

seriously though, this **** is great... it comes as two seperate "pastes" that you mix together and then apply onto both surfaces...

NOTHING will get this off... pretty sure if you wanna take it off later, you'll have to take the paint off with it... :lol:

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
