what kind of bumper was on that black taco!!! i want it!!!

 

If you mean the black one in the mudding video, that's 1337Taco. I believe it was one from www.bajabumpers.com

 

yep thatd be the one!!! bad ass bumper

 

Yep it is. Someday I hope to have one

 

wow never woulda thought this truck was a girls but dang i give you props its lookin good.

sorry not trying to sound sexist.

and im debating to go black front girll or colormatched, and since youve done both any suggestions on which one to do?

 

No offense taken. I get that a lot actually!

I did the black grill mainly because I liked the way there was a solid flow of color with the black headlights. But all in all, I think the color matched looks best. If you get rock chips it doesn't show near as much, and it just has a "cleaner" look about it I think.

 

o ok, i keep going back and forth with it, but i just moved to tracy and im starting to get more chips on mine, actually i was over near Sonora camping last week and got a good chip in my windshield :/ but i want to do it tomorrow since im not doing anything and i think im going to go with the black and also do the middle of the front bumper like the xrunners

 

Yea rock chips suck. When I lived in Reno I got so many. My fog lights look like they got hit about 200 times each!

Where near Sonora were you at? I wanna go on a trail up on Sonora pass soon.

 

yea so any tips on painting my grill?

and I was actually a little passed Sonora. We were camping at Cherry Lake if you know where that is.

i just moved here from fresno so you guys havta show me where to go trailing around here

 

On the grill definitely sand it down a lot before you use primer and paint. I've used both Krylon and Rustoleum with painting. The nice thing about Krylon is it dries a lot quicker, but it seems like Rustoleum stands up a little better to the elements. Be careful if you want to do a second coat. Either do it in under an hour or wait a couple days, otherwise the paint will wrinkle.

I know where Cherry Lake is. I've been out there a few times with my dog hiking and on a trail closer to Tuolumne City.

Me and my buddy went up to Little Sweden (up HWY 108 on Sonora Pass) last month and had a blast! Lots of mud. I also know a good real easy trail way up on the pass with lots of awesome views.

 

o ok, and yea i was always wondering why the wrinkle affect happens hmm. but i think im gonna do my grill black first and then if i dont like it then i will just colormatch it. When you colormatched it did you go and buy the actual toyota paint or did you just get white from krylon?

o ok yea it was my first time there and loved it, cought a big 27 1/2" trout there. I wanted to do some trailing but could find anything. But yea I really want to try some stuff up here sometime. Im only a Prerunner so cant be anythin to big lol

 

Yeah, that's kind of the route I took with the grill. The white I used is just Krylon gloss white. It matched really really well with the Toyota white.

I think the trail in Eagle Meadows would be fine with a prerunner. There are a couple water crossings but they're no biggy.

 

o ok, well i have both white and black krylon but i wasnt sure if the white was gonna match but cool this helps out alot, thanks so much.

and o cool i think id be good. just let me know next time you all go

 

No problem, glad to help.

I will for sure. There are a lot of Tacomas up here, but so far none on TW .

 

lol well heres one kinda close but yea i havent seen anyone on TW drivin around here

 

Yep! I think Tracy is only an hour and a half or something . I usually stop there when I'm going to the bay area

 

bout an hour i think

 

Sounds right!

 

Forgot I had done this too:

nevermind, you know what i mean.

cheers
