RALLY all 1st Gen IMPULSE RED PEARL Tacos!

35"s u gonna need a BFH and sawzall.....as I'm sure u know. Post pics

 

love the tires, bumper, tint and stance!!

 

what'd you use to do ur rims black? looks too shiny to be plasti-dip. im looking for a more "permanent" solution than my plasti-dip

 

ya. im just gonna mount them to get a feel, then ill tub the fenders. i already to the fender flares off and ill trim them fenders a little to.

thanks, i got new tires 265/75/16 cooper stt (mud terrain i guess) the tint is limo all around except windshield which is 50% but im thinking of going down to 32%. i dont like the nosey people down here in the south looking in my truck seeing if there is anything interesting.

i cleaned, sanded with heavy grit for roughness then a softer grit for smoothness, then cleaned, primered lightly, then sanded lightly, final coat of primer, wiped down with damp rag then 89 cent flat black rattle can from walmart along with 2 cans of clear coat the 35s im putting on are 17s and i have 17" sports from 11' model tacoma that im thinking to get done professionally and have them done in gunmetal or flat black

 

sick picture ^^^ I couldn't imagine fitting 35s, excited to see this.
I'm jelly of the tint - what does it say on the top of your windshield??

 

Thanks! I spent a entire day riding and playing in that creek

A lot of picks of them some in my photos. It's going to be a fun experience with some cutting I love the tint, the amazing thing is down here in Alabama it isn't legal but a cop has to have a primary reason to pull you over.

 

holy sh** thats a lot of work u put into them it seems like. payed off tho. looks great as the rest of the truck does. i got a bucket under my face right now to catch the drool....

 

What kind of condition were the rims in before prepping them? I want to paint mine next summer but mine are so pitted I don't know how well anything would stick. I would obviously be sanding, but it'd be all by hand and I don't know how well that would work with how bad they are right now.

 

Makes me wish i had my stock wheels when i bought my truck so i didn't hjave to spend a fortune on new wheels!

 

Its an Aries. I got it off of ebay for 180$

 

haha ya it took a little bit of a nice day from sun rise to sun rise the next day. thanks.

polished aluminum, scratched, ricks have hit them. and everything else. just make sure yall dont spray acid on themmy brother owns a etailing business and i used some of his degreaser that has a little bit of acid in it for the tires to get all clean and i sprayed the wheels instead so the look like shit now. but i will redo them sometime. worth the work though. people have asked if i bought them like that or where i got them done professionally at. they are surprised when i tell them i did it
just rough the surface up. the scratches are already technically sanded for you....lol

 

totaled my old Impulse Red 02 TRD DC PreRunner . Here's my new bone stock truck. same thing but an 03 and half the mileage, 82k. liking it so far, hope to put some OME Dakar leafs and Nitrocharger shocks by the end of the year. and I might be able to retrieve my anthracite FJ wheels from my old truck.

 

awesome find!! we def need to tint front windows.

 

Pass the tint to me when you get some.

 

definitely on the to-do list haha
