Jacksonville area Tacos..

I was thinking the exact same thing lol I was picturing a nice long rain storm then donuts

 

When is the next meet???

 

I agree it needs some doughnuts. What the address...

 

Anyone done the bhlm mod? Probably gonna do that today, think I finally worked up the balls haha

 

What is the bhlm mod?????

 

Black Headlight Mod...mod. It is where you bake your healdlight to soften the sealant around the lense, remove the lense from the housing, spray the area surrounding the reflector black (or any other color), reseal everything, and reinstall.

I haven't done the mod but have read the write-ups. Good luck sickson!

 

Still havent worked up the guts to do that yet, BHLM and a Satoshi are coming up though

 

I just knocked out my satoshi the other week. Pretty happy with it. I was thinking BHLM but my lenses are so scratched and sun beat that I wasn't going to waste the time. Myabe down the road I'll hit them up with a buffer and go for it.

 

Took all day but it's really not that scary. Just take your time. Gonna finish it up today pics soon

 

hey guys - new poster to the forum but have been lurking for a few months now. figured i should subscribe to my local thread to keep a look out for any events or potential buys!

 

Hey mojo! welcome! Decided to paint my grille while it was apart. Goodbye nasty chrome! Might do a custom grill too. Hate the stock one.

 

thanks, man. what did you decide to paint it with? I just plasti dipped mine this weekend because, I too, was over the chrome. turned out pretty well, but not sure how I feel about it on a silver tacoma yet.

 

headlights are all sewn up and back on the truck and look great! my buddy knew I was messing with my headlights but couldn't tell what I did looks factory.


yes pictures are terrible and truck is filthy.
mojo i grabbed a can (two actually) of magnetic grey in a spray can from oreilly's used some adhesion promoter and a couple coats of primer. im 3 coats of color into it now. gonna finish it up with a whole can of clear and finish with a wetsand hopefully comes out nice.
teaser shot of grille surround

gonna try my hand at a satoshi style grille tomorrow fingers crossed.

 

looks good, man! good luck w/ the rest.

 

ya good luck, that new grill takes the satoshit mod to a whole new level. homertaco has a few different versions in that new grill. looking forward to photos.

 

way i look at it is its something i want to do but im not gonna pay $500 for a grill... i had it off to do my headlights and took it apart to paint it all without breaking one tab. no way thats happening again. might as well go balls out while half the work is already done. i dont have a lot of experience with fiber glass and bodywork but im pretty handy and if i go slow it think it will be hard to mess up.

 

LOL i could of sworn you just copied and pasted most of that from my post. no way i was paying someone to do what i can do, also havent worked much with fiberglass, im ok with body work, but pretty damn handy. i modded my satoshi a bit. didnt want it as deep as others and wasnt a fan of the flush mounts so i found a middle-to-deep spot where i wanted it. took my time and it came out pro. looking forward to yours.

EDIT: and i had my headlights off since i went smoked which led to the start of the satoshi. might as well is what i said

 

SeminoleTRd, I saw your truck on NAS and the grill looks sweet.

 

Oh sweet man, thanks. Which X-Runner is yours? I know there's a few black ones running around.

 

The one always parked by the fuel farm with the camper top. I am about to do a similar grill.
