Hello All - first time posting
Just purchased a 2001 100 Series with 125K miles and absolutely loving it - have had many cruisers in my driveway over the years, and at the age of 53, I am wanting to make this my last vehicle (or close to it). My only issue with this model is all of the vinyl trim Toyota polluted this vehicle with (front/rear bumper covers, rocker panel covers, fender flares) - i hate all of it and would love for it to all go away...i have a 2008 FJ Cruiser which i have replaced both the front and rear plastic bumper covers with powder coated steel covers, but am having trouble finding similar for the 2001 100 Series - also any ideas for in terms of feasibility of stripping the fender flares and rocker panel covers? photos?
all advice/information appreciated - as i said, love the vehicle but i think Toyota decided for some reason to make these bad boys look like a Saturn with all of the plastic crap stuck to it....disappointing
