95.5 DLX 150k Paradise Blue Metallic

New to both Tacoma's and Trucks but so far I love this thing.[/URL][/IMG] Since getting the Taco about 2 months ago I have taken off the bed to paint the frame. Found 1 rust hole and fixed it along with cleaning all surface rust off before painting the whole thing with Chassis Saver paint. Wile i was doing the painting I replaced my shocks and bought new hardware to attach the bed along with a new rear bumper. I Just got the truck back from my friend yesterday, he stripped the rocker panels down and fixed the rust. He repainted and added some chip resistant protection. I will be spraying the underside with fluid film this weekend.

Future plans:
3in OME suspension lift
1in body mount lift
33in tires
softtopper or can-back
factory e locker swap from later model TRD
off-road front bumper
custom satoshi style grill
light bar with slang mounts
hitch D-ring

 

Is this an OEM color? Never seen it before. Anyways, sub.

 

Yep Paradise Blue Metallic was a color option between 95-97 or so i read.

 

Nice. Well good luck with the build. Can't wait to see what comes next

 

OG color!

 

Nice truck. Rare like the purple ones.

Sweet truck! Nice job on the frame. Seems like that had all kinds of crazy colors in the 95.5-97 years of the Tacoma.

 

My fav is the purple

 

A buddy of mine used to have one of those. We called it the Barney truck. Last I saw that thing, it was over 330K miles with only one timing belt change.

 

lol I wouldn't really consider my truck poverty spec. I have a tac, I have cruse control, steering wheel tilt, alloy wheels, my truck came with the chrome package, and I have AC.

Thanks I love this color. Hopefully getting a soft top, light bar, and a d ring hitch adapter within the next month.

 

Then are you sure you are a DLX and not a SR5?

 

Just like mine, a dlx with all the toppings

 

BAller status , playa

 

What does it say on the title if it's a DLX? I just assumed it was because of the decal on the tailgate

 

Title here doesn't say model number. I looked mine up by the VIN

 

Vin search says extended cab SB. Can't find any DLX info by searching the vin.

 

Well turns out I have a LX. Today I learned lol
