Vic, just priced up a new boot and duck tail...... 300+ for a boot and i'd have to respray it here @ home so proll add another 90 for paint thinners etc. I'm dead keen to do it tho!

How did you attach your roof wing mate?

What u need a new boot for? Just get them to fibreglass the existing hole.. + got no space for the boot for my case.

Don't know. I asked panel beaters to do it. Just use some double tape, that should do.

Eyelids are on ! rear roof wing next :)

Does anyone have these colour coded in white?

Dpending on how you colour your rear ducktail and spoiler. But white on white is obviously not a bad option. Or black.

Them!...... i'll bog the holes myself :) genuine sportivo tail for 240 direct from Toyota! i wanted to keep the orig boot and spoiler, incase i didint like or wanted to change back.

Roof wings on :) cheers double sided tape did the trick nice.I didint want mine to sag in the middle thought there mighta been a pro way to do it.

'll leave roof wing black for now, but am half tempted to give the eyelids a coat of diamond white.

Spent a hour or so cutting & moulding up some tinted perspex covers for the lower lights!!! in 2 minds if i like the look.

Careful with the D/S tape with the roof spoiler.... On the now dead n gone beemer, i used 3M's most adhesive tape, AU230 a roll, and whilst heading out to Malalah it flew off, almost hitting a truck after launching 20-30m high. Minimal damage, a few scrapes and chips, but i would have felt pretty bad had that truck come off the road.... he swerved enough to go onto the gravel, but corrected nicely.... I shat.

Ended up sikaflexing it on re advise from a body shop.

Cheers Pete.

jeeesus thats a scary bloody thing to have to happen.....sikaflex was my thought too after 2 fail attempts @ the double sided tape :(.

I ended up building my tape up all the way to the back of thr spoiler rather than to the foam that runs around the outer edge,This way i managed to prop the middle up rather then it sag like most i see.

Still dont see it as a perm soloution, Fingers crossed the 3M roof wrap shows up soon. Wing off then and back on with sika :)

I'm not sure why the pics arn't working Vic

Damn but lucky in a way!

I think the newer Toyotas only auto-lock if you unlock it but do not open any doors within a certain specific time. But if say, you have opened the doors already or just drove and turned it off, and walk away; it will remain unlocked.

Looks good Luke :clap: unlucky about this morning too.

Cheers Rob ty mate, and cheers again for the other night, was a blast seeing just how low your car does go , between you and Vic 2 of the best aurions in aus :toast:

God that's sexy... Ignore my PM.. :lol:

Now...where's that ducktail we talked about.. :lol:

Cheers mate I'ts commin i want that look soooo bad now.

doesnt the car lock itself after a certain timeframe? mine does...

black roof looks heaps good! now get bags. haha

Cheers mate OMG! tbh i think i'd prolly bag the iLoad before the aurion and it's somthing i wanna do soon!

Yer thats exactly how i felt too mate, quiet lucky for a laps in security i really didint pay any price. Your 100% right, i must got home and just got out and for some reason not hit the alarm.( total brain fart) been havin a few of em lately.

Roof looks nice man, it IS a high gloss vinyl! You like it?

How did the little discrepancy go, iron out?

I really like walking out and seeing the black roof it suits the car well imo. ....it's not as good a finish as i expected,, kinda of a gloss but with no depth to it.You get a shine in the day and nice reflections @ night but you can't "look into" it like 2pak.

The application is prolly 95% only bad spot is along the back window i pretty much nailed the rest. You can see where the krinkle was....but im hoping for a few hot days to help sort that out.

It's not very durable and will scratch up pretty easy. I can't see it as being a final solution but a cheaper (that ended up exy) way for me to have a good look.

I took a few shots of the damaged box and roll... end the end i got most of it out.

OOOOO Sexy ty mate :) pretty much how it looks too, i'll try and post up some better shots tomoz after i respray the rear roof spoiler and sikaflex it on.

Didnt you use heat guns when you do it? I believe it's durable when it's on higher temperature, which is how most people do it on curves, bonnets side mirrors, etc.. On a flat roof, it certainly helps with small details.

just the heat of the middle of the day was enuf to make the vynal.... toooo strechy... you can see spots where it streched and faded :(

The crinkles are there to stay. they kinda look like leather but bigger.

Few more shots unwashed while i wait for the sika to cure. Tomorrow is boot/wing and rear bar day. If i get time i'll try the rims black too!

Cheers mate, it is glossy like you most i see are matt of carbon, from a distance it looks like a pro glass roof..... There should be enuf on the roll left to do a small car, i measured wrong thinkin i ordered enuff to do 2 aurions. Lemme know if your interested... if not i can see a iLoad with a black bonnet!

All in all a great product if your not willing to commit to a 2pak job.

The more i see it the more inlove with the look i become.

Rear boot lip goin on as i type :)

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
