Snowed the day after I bought mine in Dec 2017


First two mods complete in the Fall - TRD Grille and removed the airdam




Recently added TRD skid plate and TRD wheels. Pics coming soon!

 

Please good sir. Link to where you got the black and red bed decals?

 

You can PM CBoy808 at the link below. He can make just about any style you want. I wanted mine to look like the TRD Sport decal that comes stock on the white and silver Sports since I thought it would look good on blue. I’ve been really happy with how it looks. CBoy808 does a great job. I got black and red combination in gloss (I found that matte black can disappear when you look at it from different angles on the blue background).

Also here’s a link to his main thread showing the work he can do:

Hope this helps!

 

Mounted my front BPF recovery. Temporarily mounted a 6,000 lb 5/8" shackle with some anti-rattle washers until I cut clearance in the skid for my blue 9,500 lb 3/4" shackle.



UPDATE
Installed rear recovery and ground clearance in my skid to clear the correct 3/4" shackles up front

 

I took them off. Hardest part it getting it cleared from the clip thats on the inside (no way to put it back on but, not really needed). Mine stays in place no problem

 

Ordered some ‘Turd’ badges and dipped em.

 

How’s everyone finding the durability of the plasti dip in front grill, tires, fender flares??

Are y’all using a clear coat, and if so what?

Love bbp and this thread!!

 

I should've waited to post this until after I updated my build thread but I couldn't wait. Took the truck to the beach this weekend after installing my Faux Pro Grill with color matched lettering. Love the way it looks on the truck.

 

great looking truck!

 

Glare killer/Hood Wrap on a BBP.

 

Looks great. Mine arrives in a few days. My coverage won't be as wide as yours.

 

Thank you! It's coming along nicely.

 

I had it done but now that I have seen it done I would do it myself. Body wrap has an air release system where you just tap the air bubbles and they go away. Really not that hard...

Plastidiped my chrome piece of the grille, rear bumper caps and badges. So far hold up great!

 

Getting ready to order the same grille from DB. Exact same except i want "tacoma" instead of "toyota" looks great!

 

Finally got some new tires put on. Looks so much better than the factory firestones. They are 265/75/16 cooper st maxx

 

I took off the whole bumper when I did mine. It wasn't that much extra work, and I was able to put the clips back on when I was done before putting the bumper back on.

 

My Pro Grill finally arrived over the weekend. My wife liked the original (with the chrome trim plastidipped) better.

 

I think I like the newer grill blacked out better too.
