MyriadRocker's Build - 2014 Baja Taco DCSB 4X4

This isn't going to be much of a build thread as compared to most others, I'm sure. But, nevertheless, here's my contribution. It's probably more for me to go back and look at than anything, I suppose.

I traded my 2004 4Runner Sport off for this 2014 Baja Taco about a week ago. I'm going to miss my 4Runner but it was 10 years old and it was just time for a change of scenery for me.

a build is a build, and it never ends........... some of us actually go backwards sometimes

enjoy

 

Well, I had found a scratch that I was pretty certain happened during the detail when I bought it. I've now had a Toyota Camry loaner car for over a week because, when they tried to buff it out, they made it look worse.

So, they had to order a new molding and send it to paint. The service guy, who's been super nice, is pretty certain it will be ready on Monday afternoon. I sure hope so...I'm real sick of driving the Camry. Nice car, but...it's a car.

 

Good looking truck! I personally would not make a big deal about a scratch it will happen sooner than you think. Also black shows every scratch that happens that is why I am glad I got gray it is better but anyways good looking truck.

 

Thanks! I made a big deal about it because the dealer did it. If I had done it, I would have lived with it. But, since it was a new truck and they did it...they are obliged to fix it.

 

Well, after the dealer having my truck for nearly two weeks, I finally have it back. They tried buffing out the scratch but they made it worse. So they had to order a new part, have it painted, then install it. Took entirely too long. But, it's scratch free...for now.

 

So there I was...blacking out my badges with Plastidip. I was peeling it away and my finger nail caught on it. So I had to pull it off. I ended up pulling it off like this. HA!

 

Got a wild hair up my arse tonight and ordered a color matched grill assembly from Camelback Toyota. This will not make the wife happy.

 

Awesome Brandon. I'm thinking about Clazzio's too.. Post pics after your install.

Raptor lights are on my radar after i install my homer ghost raptor grill.

 

It will be a while before the Clazzio's come in. 10 to 18 weeks is what I was told. So that puts it sometime between the end of August and the end of October.

 

Got my color matched grill in today! I'll probably install this weekend. Anyone wanna buy a chrome one?



Bumper...your time as chrome or even being on my truck is limited. You're on the clock...
