Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

Used Collinite #845 for the first time. It's got to be some of the thinnest wax I've ever used but happy with the results.

 

Gorgeous neighborhood!

 

AK in the Summertime is tough to beat!

 

How are the skeeters up there in the summertime??

 

Physician friend of mine from Newport Beach, CA went up there 6 years ago. 3 year contract. $750k/yearly salary. 10 weeks vacation.. LOVES it so much, renewed contract again. 7 sports cars, 2 Land Cruisers..living the life.

 

Anywhere near water can get pretty bad. You for sure don't want to forget your deet when camping or hiking.

 

Wish I had that much $ to play with.

 

Ditched the chrome today.. I wish these grills came black as oem

 

Oh wow, you have llumar air 80! Very rare. I've always been curious about it. I assume its on the windshield... are the heat rejection benefits as nice as I hear?

 

Damn, good eye bro. Lol I got it tinted 2 days ago, haven't driven much since honestly. I went with Llumar Air 80 windshield, Llumar CTX 20% fronts, 5% rears.. Loving the look either way, no more fishbowl

 

Im also tempted to dip my grille but I cant decide for sure.

 

I like my chrome grille but Toyota should have offered more/better wheel and grille options. Like the grille and disliked all the Toyota wheels. Sport was best compromise of features for me. I actually bought it because I did not like the black stock grilles on the SR and SR5. I only paid $750 more over the SR5 I priced. I was trying to get a dealer to put a Sport grille and Sport wheels on an SR5 but would have been higher than the Sport.

 

Went wheelin' on the White Rim road in Canyonlands, UT this weekend. More pics here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...d-today-3rd-gen.400627/page-109#post-12731274

 

Here's my 2WD Motorcycle/family hauler! Pretty much setup the way I wanted, although will be changing some stuff here and there..

- 4R TRD Pro wheels with Yokohama Geolandar G015 (265/70/17)
- OEM Tube steps
- OEM bed step
- Extang Solid Fold 2.0
- JP Metal Fab tie down brackets
- Mobtown tail gate plate

 

I`m not a chrome hater but IMO there comes a point when you can have too much chrome on a vehicle, so much to the point that it makes it look tacky, they did put entirely too much chrome on these grills, if I had your grill I would have did the same thing or I would have looked for an SR5 grill, yours definitely looks better now.

 

Let me know if you noticed a big difference on the windshield over the next week. Thinking about doing the air 80 or a ceramic 50%

 

Hey Guys I am considering buying some SCS ray 10s for my Tacoma.. I cant decided between black on bronze. If you have any pictures of your blue taco wih any ray 10s on them I would love to see it! Hopefully it will make my decision easier!

 

Theses aren't SCS but method roost, I really like the bronze look.
