What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This bugs me on all cars, just wiping dust off them (even wet) scratches them

 

Looks great man!

 

That color looks perfect! What paint did you use?

 

Automotivetouchup.com

Makes some amazing products. I have bought their paint for probably 6 different vehicles and it's always been a perfect match.

The clear coat comes out very smooth






Here's my old spruce mica Tacoma, also a perfect match and amazing quality clear coat.And yes that is a rattle can paint job.

 

I've used their paint before also. Very good quality, smells like the paint you smell at a body shop. Costs a bit more will worth every cent. I'm going to eventually bake my headlights and open them up. I want to paint the chrome inside body color and i'll be using their plastic primer and paint when I do. Only chrome i'll leave behind will be for the high beam light projector.

 

They replaced my cluster for the trip meter resets. Fortunately it was complete with the new plasti-glass. I don't dare wipe this one off. I just blast it with the compressor. My original had a little smudge. Like a moron I tried to rub the smudge with my fingernail and scratched the eff out of it. Cheapest softest cluster glass I ever had on any vehicle. And I had a couple of Saturns.

 

Anyone ever think of covering the cluster glass with clear 3M vinyl to protect it? Almost like a glorified cell phone screen protector.

 

It would be nice if someone would make an exact fit 3m clear protector shield for the cluster and the touch screen. Could sell a ton of them at the right price. I just wonder if anyone figured out what IS safe to clean it with. I am scared to use anything. I know my original got added scratches just using a mist water sprayer and a microfiber towel.

 

let me know, I am about to do a group buy to upgrade the oem projector to a much better one!

 

If anyone is looking for a Bedbug Autoanything has them for $359.10 free shipping

 

What's your price and what projector are you offering?

 

The only one that drops right in place, it's not a cheap kit. But if I can get 10+ people I can save everyone looking to do it themselves a ton of money

That's what bugs me about this. It was brand new with film cover to protect. They are getting wrecked by a little 4'5" Asian lady in the factory from the start.

Easy to replace. 4 screws on front then about ten in the back to remove the instrument cluster.

 

Only thing i'd possibly want are the projectors. I already have replacement bulbs for high low and fogs. My low beams also stay on with my high beams from the factory. Don't they all?

 

What size of lift did you put on this and what kind of lift?

Also what size tire do you have?

This looks really clean.

 

Got my high lift rail mounts yesterday, sprayed them with rustoleum truck bed lining and installed this morning. I like it.

 

Wow man, awesome job. Looks factory! I think I'll try it!

 

Nope! Don't need no bedbugs!

 

New tires. Michelin LTX m/s Defenders LT265/75R16. Good tire had them on my last truck but it is no longer on the road (everybody was just fine)
