    Not even close to sick of it! I just Zaino'd the truck, and she is so shiny! Had to leave it home today, so as not to offend all others in my work parking lot with how GD gorgeous she is right now!

    That said...wrap it. You can wear a white (see: work truck) for a while, and still have the blue to go to when you are sick of driving a work truck (sorry, I may be biased against white)

    yes




    Mostly white work trucks, but when I see a white truck, I think automatically its a work truck. Used to work for an electrician, and he would only buy red trucks for his company. Loved that shit

    Thinking about pulling the plastic trim between the doors of my BBP Double Cab. Anyone have pics . Im sure it's there for protection , but might look better without it. Just found a thread showing some. ThanksIMG_20180710_131319920-800x600.jpg

    Either do it in the heat of the day or use a heat gun to loosen the glue. It just peels off. Then use goo gone to get rid of the excess glue, wash and wax the area.

    actually its there to make the cabin look bigger than it is by tricking the eye that the windows are one big window from front to back from a distance and to make the pillars seem to not be there.

    its an old trick to make the pillars look smaller than they are. you see this a lot in "C" pillars where they add black trim to make the pillar look smaller.

    all bets are off if you mention FC cruiser "C" pillars from Toyota.

    I'm willing to bet that with tinted windows, it makes it look more even across the windows. That's a look that I prefer.

    I agree with @Norsemanvike that with dark tinted windows the pillar tape looks good. If you have regular glass it looks better without the black tape.

    Only regret is that if I wear a blue shirt/shorts/sunglasses/anything, people judge me... "You sure like blue, huh?" I feel that doesn't happen with other colors

    But I (we?) love what you did to your truck! I like the black-to-blue ratio on it!

    She isn't going anywhere...just have her look at the truck, and then look at how happy you are. They all just want us to be happy...right?
