Tell me more about the bike rack hitch.

It is special, it's BAYOU. I post some pics when I get my JDM RS TAILS installed. I think I'll be the first BAYOU to have them. Remember you gotta start somewhere, and it's about the $$$$. Good luck

The longer I have this car the more I like the color. The next pick would have been white.

[uncleyaris]

or the green like JIMCATS, if it was offered. I think a canary yellow would look good too. But the BAyou looks different in different light thats why i LOVE IT!

I never thought about yellow before, I bet that would be cool. The BB does change colors. This pick was in real bright sun which makes it look very dark with rich tones.

starting somewhere. drop it a bit.

Actually it does! When I get to drive by the gas station and laugh. And when I do have to put gas in it, it is so much better then the Explorer was.

I'm actually holding out for Tein or Cusco coilovers. I will be ordering a TRD swaybar and an armrest from TRDSpark though.

Where in Ohio do you live, and what kind of bike?

I live around the Wilmington Area. I actually have a few bikes. My road bike is an '06 Fuji Newest 2.0. My mountain bike is a cheap Schwinn Sidewinder and my BMX is a Poverty G-Ride.

Tell me more about the bike rack hitch.

BTW, here is what the steelies look like with the center cap.

The bike rack is a Hidden Hitch bolt-on. It mounts to two bolts that hold the bumper on. It can be installed without removing the bumper and bumper cover though it's a tight fit for the hands to get to the upper bolts. If anyone is going to get one and wants more info on installing it let me know and I will write up a good how-to article. My camera batteries were dead when I was going the install or I would have done it then. I did the install by myself it wasn't to bad. An extra set of hands would have been nice. I paid $91 shipped for the hitch from www.autoanything.com they have free shipping and I found a 10$ off coupon code by searching google.

Where do you get the center caps? It definitely makes it look more finished.

It is special, it's BAYOU.

I didn't care for the color when I first bought it. I really wanted a Mica or Blazing Blue, but the dealer only had White and Bayou. I like white, but its such a PITA to keep clean so I went with the Bayou. The color has grown on me. It looks really nice when it's clean and sunny. It needs some bronze or gold wheels though.

I think it looks great! Maybe b/c I just got finished doing the the same things to mine...

I believe Blacksan and I have the same ones, though I painted mine. its napa part #730-2411 (you have to order over the counter). Thing is they don't fit tight! Mine are stuck on with Goop, did not want to go epoxy route until sure I liked them.

[blacksan]

The center caps are NAPA /BALKAMP #730-2411 X2 per box. They are a bit oversize and do not fit the center of the hub as a normal grease cup does. I took a small, "8 Crescent wrench and made 4, smooth, concentric, inward bends on the skirt of the grease cup to make them tight over the wheel flange and tapped them on with rubber mallet. They are snug and have stayed on with out any fuss. You could add an epoxy if you felt it necessary.

My next step is adding polished beauty rings that are on there way as I type.

The other option is Toyota factory wheel centers.

Ha! The wheel caps and rings look interesting.. Just a little bit to much shine for my taste.

These do not secure on the lug, but by tension clips via the inner hub.

The black hubcap is #901.

The silver hubcap is #903.

Good luck finding them! They are for a Tercel, not sure what year. They are not in stock at two places I've seen them but ARE in stock here for $30 apiece--a bit too high for me. I'm checking the junkyards.
