    Wow! I'm stunned and impressed. Looks awesome.

    As everyone else I'm curious if you've done this before. That seems like a long, painstaking process to get the vinyl on smooth without wrinkles or bubbles. And to get the seams right on all the seams in the body and fenders too!

    Good job. I have a friend that wrapped his jeep in camo and I was impressed. Your truck looks great. Not a bad idea to protect your paint on your new truck.

    Looks good! Was there a spot missed behind the rear window?

    One of the nicest wraps I've seen. Color is spot on.

    That grille too! Is that a modified OEM grille? I remember seeing pictures of it on TW Live or something.

    I like it, was thinking about doing the same thing with Plasti-Dip but now after seeing this I'm having second thoughts.

    It was my first time wrapping a complete vehicle. I have done a roof on my friends car, but that's it.

    I did it off and on during the week/and on the weekend. I would say a solid 8-10 hours into it. It really isn't that hard, it is TIME CONSUMING to remove all panels/trim/molding to get a clean wrap.

    The vinyl is made for vehicle wrapping, and has a warranty against weather/UV/Etc. So far its holding up great, but time will tell.

    I just bought the truck a few weeks ago, so the mods are just starting. And yes, I will be changing the rear bumper(looking at pelfrybuilt). Thanks!

    Thanks! The job isn't 100% perfect, and the edges were the hardest part. I purchased 3M primer/sealer that gets applied to corners/edges which should help adhere and seal it.

    Here is a pic applying it to the hood. Its actually really easy.. just stretch it on(I learned the tighter you stretch it the first time, the easier it is to get all bubbles/creases out)

    Wasn't too complex, just time consuming. Its about the same amount of prep work as a paint job (removing panels, cleaning, etc)
    Here is where the material was purchased;
    http://www.ikonwraps.com/


    Thanks man! Truck has 5100's with 885 coils up front, Icon progressive 3leaf & 5100's in the back. 275/70/16 BFG. The height is exactly what I was looking for.

    I forgot that part yesterday:frusty:


    The grill is my own "TRD PRO" version. I took the OEM grill, hacked it up and fiber glassed it back together. NO MO YOTA badge

    I took some close ups of where the edges are. Like I said, not 100% perfect, but not bad for my first wrap job.

    Looks like a damn nice job, especially for it being your first time doing a whole vehicle! Nice choice on the color, too. The whole truck looks awesome! :cheers:

    Beautiful Job man. I can't wait to see what a black pelfrybuilt bumper would look like against that awesome color.
