Keep us updated on what you do. I'm tempted to do that on the wheel arches on my Sequoia

No need to totally strip it. Just get it smooth and use some DTM (direct to metal) primer. You can get it in a can. Or you can use self etching primer (again available in a can). You'll be wasting massive amounts of time trying to strip that all off for no real good reason.

The grille is plastic and the leftover metal plating isn't uniform. There's no way I'd get a decent finish with such a variable surface.

Primer, primer, primer, sand sand sand. Sanding primer is easier than sanding metal

A little too much chrome for my taste, but I like it otherwise. It's loaded.

Welcome to the mid 2000s lol
I also just noticed it has the electronic locking rear differential too.

Adventure pack trucks had a locking rear diff and a super low transfer case. 09-10 trucks had an optional locking front diff too.

I dig the manual trans. Was that a rare option?

Yeah I think I'd rather have the manual over the 4spd auto

I can't find any itemized production numbers, so I don't know how rare they are. Anecdotally, they don't seem very common.
It's interesting that this is the same trans they used in the Solstice, and a bunch of other cars. It's an Aisin AR5.
The shift quality is about what I'd expect for a truck, but I'd hope it was a lot better in the cars.

Parts support should be pretty strong then. No more lazy slush box.

Didn't the guy in the video we watched give some numbers? Or is that your anecdote?
Apparently the auto can tow more than the manual. I also see that the autos tend to break a lot too.

They tend to say the auto can tow more not due to strength of the transmission but to preserve the clutch. The torque converter allows more slip more easily.

Torque converters build more torque while limiting the shock load on an engine.
