Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Depo lights are a crapshoot straight out of the box.
On my last BMW, I made the mistake of swapping to Depo lights. It took three tries to get a non flawed housing. In the end, I retrofitted them with OEM reflectors aa we as cutoff plates.
I’d rather find the wholesale discount priced Toyota online dealers and pay $50 more for Oem over Depo crap.

YMMV

 

Pack of 2 on thier website in 45 cal instead of 308 is only $25 plus shipping. 308 definatly looks cooler.

I like that .45.

Did you install the winch mount yet?

 

Sold this the day before Christmas. Still weird walking into the garage and not seeing it.

 

Anyone need a winch fairlead/roller. Free.

 

Dibs!

 

SWEET! I agree. Now I have room to move around, and access to cabinets.

 

It's yours.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the wire rope, though.

 

Not yet, waiting until i have a winch to mount with it. I wanna get it all done at once. Ive been looking but all the good prices expired after xmas.

 

I feel it. I don't actually have a winch yet either lol

 

We plan to redo the entire kitchen at some point, it’s the only original part of the house left from the 60’s. But I keep suggesting we just refinish the cabinet doors while we wait to remodel and she doesn’t want to waste time on it. Go figure...

 

HD sells a nice refinishing paint. I think its like 60 bux. Whoevers been at my place has seen them. They look decent

 

I dont like the brush strokes. I want a perfect finish. So i need a sprayer. Was hoping one of had one and would chime in.

 

When I bought my winch it came with the roller and wire rope. You sure you need the roller? It's yours, just sayin'.

 

Seems like reviews were 50/50 it worked great/peeled and looked like shit in 6 months.

At least back in the day.

 

Painted everything by hand. Bought like 6 nice ass Wooster paint brushes that are soft enough not to leave brush lines. Used a small roller with a super smooth pad to back roll and drips and the flat faces.

Used a good primer, 3 coats and finished with two coats of polycrylic sealer.

Painting takes a while, super tedious, but if you take the time and prep/wait between coats, it looks good!

 

What does your truck look like?

Now that you’re local I want to make sure it’s a TW member I wave like an idiot too

Although I wave at all Tacoma’s now

 

My dads a painter by trade. Does cabinets too....

 

And patience of a saint....





I have a difficult time staying engaged with painting
