Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

are you on stock suspension? if so any rubbing? and what are wheel/tire speccs

 

Looks like you stole those pics from a brochure. Nicely done.

 

Stock suspension. Traded out my 18" Limited wheels and went with 17" SCS SR8 wheels with Nitto Terra Grappler 265/65/17.

Not close to rubbing.

 

Nice truck man! I never noticed how many blue 3rd gens where in NJ til I bought one.

 

I have only seen 2 other blue here in S.E. VA and they are both double cabs. Not seen any blue access cabs locally.

 

Thanks for the compliment!

 

I have seen only one other Blue AC (actually hardly any AC's of any color) around Central Mo. It was at my local dealer in the service parking area -- It had ladder racks on it, so I am thinking it was a contractor from a outlying area-- havn't seen it since.

 

The blue ones were few and far between around here earlier in the model year --but lately I have seen more on the two local dealers. Actually the dealer in Columbia Mo had 4 blue full cabs on their new lot. The Columbia dealer was the one who came through for me as they sold me the wheels on my truck--for a great price.

 

I was looking for the same truck in inferno but, at that time new years 2016, every one was pre-sold Did not want to wait another 3 months so I found the blue one in Maryland 400 miles from me. After I bought it there were only 11 access Sports in blue in the whole country. Love this color.

 

I've decided that, whenever I finally get new rims for my Taco, they will be Bronze for sure...

 

Blue and bronze is a good color combination. I like mine.

 

I put Bronze Method NV on my truck and I get allot of positive feedback on my choice.

 

I think the bronze or copper looks great on our trucks. I am still partial to my SCS gun metal wheels though.

 

I also got some "positive feedback" on my dark wheels that I used to have on my SR5 AC. Trouble was -- I could not convince myself that I actually liked them. You got to go with what YOUR heart says to you -- it took me 7 months to realize that "I"-- driver 99% of the time--
did not like what I had requested to come OEM on the truck, had made a mistake.
The good thing about the dark wheels is that they have to be caked with mud and crud to look dirty.

 

thanks for the reply, your truck looks good. I plan on doing the same thing ditching my 18inch limited wheels for 17inch scs wheel but I'll be running 265/70/17 nitto tires. I have no plans on lifting my truck at all. Hard to tell in the picture but are those matte gunmetal?

 

Yes. Love the way they look. I just have to get rid of, or cover the chrome on the door handles and my chrome elimination project will be complete.

 

Love how that bronze goes with the blue.

 

Just picked up our 17 TRD Off Road last week. It's the wife's daily and she seems to be happy with it. I'm a Toyota tech by day so I'm quite familiar with them.

 

Anymore pics of the blue stitching? How much did you pay? if you don't mind me asking.

 

I also have a sr5 and was thinking about doing the same
Did you have to cut a holes on the fender to install the flares? Or they just hold with glue?
