GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Anyone have any need for some stock sport wheels? Think they’re missing 2 center caps

 

For the record, I've plasti dipped my chrome bumper then painted over it with color match and clear coat. It's held up pretty well the past year or so

How bad you need to get rid of them?

 

That's an interesting idea.... plastidip the bumper since the plastidip will stick to chrome, then color match spray the bumper so it sticks to the plastidip. Might be worth testing on the Chrome grill surround, in theory, if the paint doesnt match, it could just peel off since you are essentially pulling of the plastidip as well.

 

Can't you strip chrome off plastics with oven cleaner or bleach or something? At least that's what a lot of the guys do who paint their headlights when doing retrofits.

Edit: for the metal bumpers it prob wouldn't work but for the grille it would.

 

I was going to do this for my bumper. From what I read, this will work as far as adhesion, but it makes the plastidip not plastidip, like it won't peel off anymore and becomes a huge pain in the ass to remove. But if you don't care about ever removing it, that should work fine.

 

Also side note, I decided to do the bumper this way after I experimented with it on my front grille emblem. Did the emblem back in 2013 still holding up well.

They’re not mine. Got a buddy that just sold his taco and is looking to unload them

 

Making those Dakars squeel!!

 

Spotted a Calvary Blue TRD Pro in Florida today.



Also a sweet bark blue four runner.

 

I mean, if he just wants someone to take them away that'd be the push I'd need to get 255/80/17's... haha.

 

Haha. He’s not giving them away. But they’re cheap. Think he’s asking $200 for them. He’s supposed to be getting me some pics of them.

 

End of month I could probably swing it !

 

YO FELLAS! Saw a ~13' Silver Access Cab Sport with steel plate bumper and winch with TRD 16" Beadlock wheels and a matching shell drive through my neighborhood today in Gainesville. Anyone got any leads on who this could be? Hopefully my new neighbor?

 

Does any one have experience with Rotopax, jerry cans, or VP racing fuel jugs?
Looking for any feed back that you may have.
trying to decide on if I want to go rotopax, jerry cans, or VP fuel jugs ( https://www.amazon.com/VP-Racing-Fu...id=1520765792&sr=8-9&keywords=racing+fuel+jug ). From what I have read and seen, the VP product looks good and supposedly pours out rather fast compare to the others. The only problem is I'm looking into having this mounted to a tire swing out, and I am unable to find a holder that will safely secure these to the back. With Rotopax and Jerry cans, I can find everything I would need, but the cost is significant in my opinion.

 

Same. Area jerry cans on craigslist are $75. There are some plastic ones available on Amazon for less (depending on size and color)

Rotopax are the easiest to deal with both in mounting and using. I have used Rotopax and Jerry cans, just my opinion.

 

Thanks for the input. Did you ever have issues with leaking, or dealt directly with rotopax(the company/reps, not the product)?

 

Never had a problem with either one leaking, never dealt directly with the company.

 

I also need spare fuel- I hear horror stories of rotopax expanding and bowing out though...
