Clean Install, I'm about to attempt the Tsunami upgrade next week... What did you use for the trailer accent lights?

Under the bow I used two Oznium high intensity floods which are extremely bright and in the wheel wells a flexible waterproof strip with 9 leds I found on Amazon, not quite as bright as I wanted.

Steve, your manifold is identical to mine, you are going to love that Tsunami upgrade, its sooooooo much better than those sprinkler valves. Do you have any more pics of the swim platform? What did you coat it with?

Again, nice work! great looking Supra!

Don't know if you can see it better with this pic. I used Tough Coat rubberized non-skid from Overtons. It was very easy to prep and apply, also a lot softer than truck bed liner but still really durable.

Tell me about the tsunami upgrades.... do you guys have any issues with the bags emptying through those pumps and how do you keep water from being pushed in while driving with empty bags? Do you have to always manually open and close that hand valve?

take a look down the page in this section, I think Fman did a great install thread,

they use a vented loop to avoid the empty/filling problem, or a manul valve is the other option but thats a pain in the azz

No, didn't modify the platform shape at all. Thought about reshaping the lip on the bottom edge to see if it would make a cleaner surf wave. It would have been a lot of fiberglass work and I wasn't sure if it would be worth the time and effort.

When I took the handrails off it made the platform appear a lot smaller.

Looks awesome Steve! Love the blue LED's and the stereo work looks good too.

No pics of the 420?

Its in the pic of the dash, to the left of the steering wheel, below is a close up.

That thing is the best mod yet. It exceeded my expectations for controlling the stereo, plus my kids love the mic. Thanks for your help with it!

Sorry, just noticed it... I like how you put it there instead of the other side.

Or as Grant would say the ONLY correct and proper side!!!
