What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Completed dipping the wheels on a sport

 

That looks a lot better than stock! Nice job!!

 

here's a before and after

 

here's a before and after

 

Got anymore pictures of the grill being dipped? I'm thinking about it and have a blue sport as well. Just want to see someone else's before I do mine.

 

I left some chrome to match the sr but I think I will be dipping it soon

 

Thanks for getting that. I kind of like it like that honestly. Gives it some breakage in the grill. I may would actually paint that chrome bezel blue if I could get my hands on a spare one.

 

Thoughts?

 

Love it. Well done.

 

I see what you mean, and my first thought was red, but then all the jambs and crevices have to be done. The matte finish makes it look a lot lighter when the sun hits it, but pretty close to stock otherwise. I wouldn't pay the $3000 or so it would cost to have it wrapped, but since I own a sign shop, materials and labor are relatively cheap. I'd probably have $800 in the whole truck.

 

Haha yea man. I'm on the fence about it honestly.

 

I agree. I would go black to flat black (I love that look) but grey to flat grey just isn't enough of a change. I may also be jaded because my last two trucks were MGM and the color is just blah to me.

 

I threw my son's 17.5 26" mountain bike back there and there is a lot of room. You'll be golden. Days like this is when I wish I was shorter. Lol

 

Installed the craptastic portable hand controls and suicide knob in my new DCLB TRD-Offroad, and drove it for the first time . These cheap hand controls are not awesome, but state voc-rehab is taking forever to get their business together in helping me get full-blown hand controls installed.



As you can see, I moved the handle further foward rather than being right against the bottom of the wheel, that made for some exciting test driving.

 

It's funny, MGM is exactly what I wanted, but red and inferno look so good that MGM has turned a little blah to me too! I still love it though, and the matte grey almost looks like silver when the light hits it right, which is awesome.

 

Awesome. If you could get some black TRD decals would look great as well.

 

Did you use a plastic bag or anything to cover the brakes before spraying? Just tape around the lugs?
Looks great as well by the way!

 

I took wheels off. And thanks. 1hr per wheel!

 

It's starting to come together

 

shit

holy shit, i'm not making a joke, but what the hell do those bars do? I can't see how one hand can control throttle and brake
