    Hey Everyone...

    This is my first Show & Shine...so be kind!!

    I used to own this truck - its a 2006 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner in Black Sand Pearl. The truck was an absolute blast to drive - handeled like a sports car (seriously).
    These are some "after" photos after spending a better part of the day detailing the exterior. All the products were OTC Meguiars products (wash, clay, polish, NXT).

    Let me know what you think!!! :mounty:

    Thanks for bringing up the pics like that.
    I used Megs APC and then dressed it with Eagle One tire shine. I have come to appreciate a more "mat" finish since then, however. I wouldn't do that again.

    Very nice! I really like the X runners. I remember when they first came out with the S Runner.

    Is there a kit to make that hood scoop active?

    Truck looks great, I agree that engine bay is very impresive :applause2: :applause2:

    Very nice thank you for sharing with us...oh one question, either it's my eyes playin tricks on me or the grass it tall there but the truck looks as though it was lowered? am I seeing it right?

    Either way it looks great :thumb:

    i think the xrunners are lowered, as they are the sport model of the tacoma

    The grass is a couple of inches tall I suppose but all X-Runners are factory lowered (1.5 inches if memory serves me correctly).

    Great job! That truck just looks sick man. I really like the X-Runners. Now you just gotta venture out into boutique products :)
