What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Have em podercoated sparkly purple. I wanted to have all of my suspension be turquoise and sparkly purple, gotta have the 80s miami heat look haha

 

Leons does a good job and fairly cheap if you want a solid color, had so suspension parts done by them.
Maas brothers is a really good powder coating shop too,I had my bumper done by them and really liked how that came out.

 

God damn you. I was going to just rattle can them and go over with a clear coat, but now you put the idea of a glossy powder coat in my head. Time to go visit my local powercoater I guess, I had them do my Manual Hubs and they did a great job.

It's funny, this shop powercoated my tiny pathetic manual hub dial covers, and when I walked in their warehouse to pick them up they were loading a giant 60x20 foot metal beam onto a flatbed semi that they just finished with a 12 ton overhead gantry.

Hmmm. How does Firetruck Red to match my Manual Hubs sound like?

 

That image of you driving with Eric Clapton- cocaine blaring from the radio is all I see lol

 

I just picture majestic purple suspension, White vinyl interior and a strong oder of weed in the cab

 

With the amount of off-roading @BartMaster1234 does, I wouldn't even paint it. It's all going to get scratched off.

I like rustoleum - it's easy to touch up and cheap and from 10 feet away some styles can look as good as powder coat - check out their hammered tones.

 

Might as well get a car with hydraulics and 100 spoke rims

 

I use Reliable Powdercoating in San Leandro. They did my manual hub dial covers, the surround ring, and the bolts for $115. That's sandblasted, and coated. I have since sanded the lettering down to the base metal, as suggested by @Speedytech7 which makes them stand out more.

 

TRAITOR!

If it was a Chevy I wouldn't have said anything but it's a FORD! I lost one of my brothers when he went out & bought a 2017 F150.

 

It's only till my truck is fixed then I'll jump in the salvation pool to cleanse the Ford off me.

 

Yeah I know, JFWY, only said something cause it's a Ford. Not sure why I don't like Ford so much, I must have been brainwashed when I was a kid. Hope you get your truck up & running soon.

 

I figured you was lol I just wanted to be like the guy whos shunned at heaven's gate cause he saw a nun wearing a thong lmao.

Don't feel bad I do the same thing when people drive mustangs or Jeep's. Friend of mine got a new jeep Wrangler setup is nice for off road. His winch bumper has a rope with a winch hook on it. Figured maybe it's just for a mock up (he's wierd like that) then I asked him going to get a winch or lockers. "What's a winch or lockers?"

 

Haha, wtf!

 

so... why are you guys awake

 

I can't look at him the same and I changed his name in my phone to "mall crawler queen"

 

I'm at work, I dunno what the others are doing.

 

Just started the show Rectify on Netflix a couple hours ago and I'm hooked...might not be in bed for awhile. Good thing its Friday

 

It's midnight there, right?

 

Found a slice of life videogame and somehow im hooked

 

I got nothing better to do.
