Definitely appropriate!

 

My 97 after a five-stage polish/wax job.

 

Five stage?
I only do four. Wash, clay, polish, wax.
What is your five?

 

I'll hire someone now a days...it's almost as bad as painting imo. The last guy was really good.

 

I assumed it was the Meguiars 5 step... could be wrong though.

Nice Yota, COStruck
Your Land Cruiser will last quite a while if you take care of it like that

 

My Buddy has one of those Cruisers in his back yard. Pretty cool rigs. I think he told me he bought it brand new....

Probably the only thing I don't like about those is the timing belt.

 

I have a 97 4Runner
I love it, inherited it
Toyota timing belt is no problem IMO after doing a couple
Ford Escort is worse for instance, special tools and all that just to get the damper off and the tensioner
True story about "do not like" me either, if the timing belt goes your mill is lunched in most cases
Some Toyotas and Lexus's are free flowing engines thank God
Not sure about his or mine, Just do not ever let one go long enough to fail is the key

 

my first car was a 95 escort, belt snapped on me coming home from work, thank god that engine was a clearance engine, my 98 ranger is the same way
