3rd Gen White Tacomas - Post them up!

Difficult?

 

RCI skids and rails. Broke them in the first weekend after install. Great skids!!!

 

Hey Cowbell!! Do you have a link for those sliders? Nice.

 

Not at all, 2 minutes with a heat gun and some fishing line. Then clean up with some goof-off.

 

thanks

 

Picked mine up Saturday and it is going back to the dealer tomorrow or the next day. Was washing and waxing it today and felt the micro fiber cloth catching on small specks in the paint. I looked a lil closed and it appeared to be rust... short story is they called it rail dust from the train! So it's going back to the dealer for a claying and buff. Wish I was close and not 2.5 hours away...

I hope that "rail dust" isn't this? I'm one of the contributors to this thread. Check it out. I ended up getting a whole new truck out of the deal bc the dealership put the tire shine on the truck, which stained it and was impossible to remove. They even hired a chemist to try and remove it, with no luck. They replaced the truck. I hope this isn't what has happened to yours. Is the stain on the lower part of the truck on the rough part of the paint? Is it brown in color?

 

Yes it is the Southern Style Offroad Slimline winch bumper!Really love the way it looks , cant wait to get the winch installed!

 

No it is not at the bottom of the car. It is on the hood and roof. In my experience it would be something a clay bar and buffing could take out. It is just a lot of it. And something that should have been done before they sold it. Just sucks it has to go back. I will be a hawk when I get it back.

 

Can I still call it white?

 

Most every vehicle I've purchased in recent memory has been white. If you've never owned white, clay bar and spray lube is a must because I guarantee you one thing, it'll come back. If you stay on it, it's not a big deal but theres (almost) no way to completely remove embedded rail dust. The dealer/salesperson/detailer should be embarrassed letting a new vehicle out the door looking like that. Some of those spots are pretty bad, ask them to give it an acid bath first to help neutralize some of those spots.

You like motorola that much?

 

Here is my DCLB OR Unicorn. I haven't seen another one like mine with every option. I'm sure they are out there somewhere. I have done a long list of mods with more stuff to come. I really enjoy the truck.

 

Love that combo! Got specs?

Purchased my first Tacoma yesterday, white double cab SR. Always been a Toyota guy but finally happy to get behind a Tacoma!

That being said, anyone have any recommendations on toolboxes (black) for the 5 foot short bed model? Looking at a slimline low profile model but open to anything.

Thanks

Rick
