Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

Still working on it but this is my blue so far. From a little bit ago. I have different head lights on now

 

How hard was it to paint those letters? Did you pop them off?

 

Considering trading in my BBP later this year, and wanted to reach out to the BBP community with this deal...

Those are just stickers... bought them from ebay.

 

What is your reason for trading her?

 

Wanting a bit more power and the ability to tow my gfs horse around so I don't have to rely on the creepy guy at her barn

What kind of tires are you running?

 

Grabber at2 tires.

 

making the switch to a tundra?

 

TBD. From what I've read, the tundra is the least economical and lagging technologically. I'm going to wait for all of the new models to come out before making any decisions

 

If I was going full size I'd go Ford or GMC. Prior to my Tacoma, I drove several F-150 company vehicles and they were all great trucks. The eco-boost is a fantastic engine (my fav), with lots of potential to upgrade. I considered buying a Raptor instead of my taco, but the extra $30K just didn't seem worth it, especially for a daily driver factoring in all the premium maintenance costs.

 

Couple photos of my pretty much stock 2017 TRD Off-Road 4x4 V6 AT Access Cab.

 

Do you like the Grabber AT2's? They look decent and are lightweight.

 

new tundra prob wont come out until fall of 2020 (high probability) to maybe fall 2019 (low probability). from my understanding the eco boost fords are either eco (high mpg) or boost (same mpg as a tundra) but you cant have both at the same time. as far as the tech I am ok with the level they have in my 2018 CM Platinum, not too much or too little. the mpg is about 4 mpg on avg less than a Tacoma but then again you are running a bigger truck with a way bigger engine 3.5 vs 5.7. but the overall benefits for us was the bigger room in the cab. we don't tow but the cab space was a big factor for us, especially the rear passenger space to the seat backs.

 

Very Nice!

 

Here are some updated pictures of my BBP. Upgraded Limited tails, LEER topper, and a Chinese Pro gille with blue lettering. Hoping that @Pikestaco and @PikestacoSister can get the black wheel vinyl figured out for the sport so I can get those on this spring!

 

Show us your rear....

 

Hey guys, I have a quick question for you DIYers in here...has anyone found an easily found spray paint that is close match for the Blazing Blue?
