Greymatter Build and BS

Have really started my "build" yet.

Current mods:

Pro Grille with Raptor Lights

Plastidipped wheels

I did the budget audio with Memphis Audio tweeters, and the Kicker door speakers, sounds great minus my driver door rattle.



Next is suspension. Haven't made my mind up yet, but leaning towards the OME kit with leafs. And I'll get the middle option 2888 I think. The medium load. I'll keep my stock wheels and get some 33s.

Then bed rack, and maybe a roof top tent.

I'm not really sure what direction to go.

 

Looks good! What color plasti dip is that?

 

Looks great! Ive been trying to decide about doing my rims the same dip

 

Just the bronze one.

Do it! just make sure to get in between the spokes good. I should have layed more down in between, but if anyone is looking that close they can look away lol

 

Your rims look great.

 

Thank you.

 

on your pro grill .. what is that right below the TOYOTA letters?

 

TSS sensor garnish. It has a semi gloss finish, so it reflects in the right ligt

 

ordered the orange trim because I like it more .

I still have the grey color if anyone is interested.

 

Going to have a bed rack built. just wondering if anyone has any idea if 51 inches will be enough to mount a rtt too?

 

Ordered a cbi bedrack today I'll be painting it myself. Excited for this to arrive

 

Launched my YouTube today with the install of the Exposition Essentials TPAM.

Check it out if you wanna see my awkward self installing something.

 

Been awhile since I've updated this. Since the last time I've posted I got the front runner load bars and my smittybilt rtt. Love them both. Somehow today I broke my driver side taillight, and managed to put a dent in my door. I think a rock rolled off a hill as I was driving by and I think my dogs head broke my taillight as he was loading up.

Anyone have a taillight?

 

Nice set up. Are the bed rails holding up ?

 

They seem to be. I don't like how they are mounted. I really wish I would've went with the cbi load bars instead. The set j have now literally mount to the tie down rails. If you look in the picture you can see what I mean

 

I really like your set up I’m very close on pulling the trigger for the same load bars.
I’m planning on putting a rtt and it’s going to be my wife and my self. I weigh 220lb. Do you think it the Tacoma rails would hold that weight? With your experience.

I have look at the cbi bars too

 

I'm 260 and it's held me and the wife. I have no worries about the load bars or the Tacoma rails. When I installed the rails I got up there and jumped up and down and they inside rails didn't even make a noise.


I will be adding a 2in spacer block in between the load bars cross bars and uprights because I need about 2 more inches in order to fit the dog kennel under.

But for now everything seems legit.

 

Okay I’m getting them now for sure. After I talk to the wife lol.
I saw that front runner also I have support brackets for these load bars.

I looked at those and was sorta skeptical because the add a nutsert below the rail. I wasn't sure if that would compromise the integrity of the bed sides?

I will eventually buy or fabricate some bed stiffeners.

 

Got my front runner bed bars. They feel really solid.
