Post your BLACK 3rd Gens

Very nice!

 

What are sons for right, haha!

 

Especially with the soft/thin paint nowdays, it doesnt help. You look at the black taco wrong, and it scratches.

Paint on my 2007 ranger was very forgiving for a black paint. So was the civic and camaro i had a while ago, all black.

 

My 1988 was black. Hard to keep em clean. Wait until pollen season.

31 years later (a red one and a silver one in between) I got me another black one. I guess it’s true what they say ... once you go black ... you always come back!

They are Beautiful when they are clean!

 

I had an 82 Toyota truck and it was black. Now full circle I am back in a black 2020.

 

Nice! About the same here, went from 1989 SR5 Xtra Cab to 2017 DCLB. Both also black.

 

Can anyone here tell me where to buy some reasonable priced D-ring shackle mounts for the front? I dont need $90 brackets for something that is just for looks. I want to put red d rings on the front. I see a bunch 90 and up but thats crazy.

 

Made in Merica by Eddy and his crew at @SOS CONCEPTS Get with @ovrlndkull he can square you away.

Do you have an example of what you are looking for?

 

Is that rated for recovery in any way?

 

Couldn’t say, likely rated more than the OE point found on the same position. @djmr1972 mentioned he is going for the look factor. Not sure on the rating, but imagine it would be suitable in a pinch. Shoot Eddy at SoS an email, maybe he can give you a run down on the engineering and details regarding the design and features.

 

There was a thread on demon brackets, pretty cheap if you just want them for looks. I would not use for recovery. If you want the recovery option as well, the SOS one is priced pretty well if it’s rated for recovery.

 

The chrome lettering is actually from Toyota, part #

$54 00016-35071 GENUINE TOYOTA TACOMA 2016 TAILGATE CHROME FINISHED LETTERING LOGO 00016-35071

00016-35071. The vinyl inlays I got from a vendor on the forum- TVDvinyl. I used the vinyl on all of the chrome accents, minus the V6 i tossed. Matched well with the look of the Fuels..

 

Took the new taco off road for the first time today, I think I might have hit a mud puddle...

 

Idk where this is/was, but I'd love to get mine out there

 

Where’d you get the vinyl for the wheels?? I’m assuming it’s vinyl correct? How does it hold up?

 

She cleans up really nice. It takes about 3-4 hours to really detail my truck. Oh well. It's worth it to me.
