Cement Tacos let's see them!

Best truck color of all time!!!

 

Just some updated picks. Thanks to @Bizz for selling me his mint condition flares! Still very stock looking - waiting on my wheels. Added gears, rear disc conversion, Baja lights, sport tails (black) and a bunch of Meso interior stuff.

 

How did the flare install go? Was applying new 3m tape easy? Was removal of the old flares difficult?

 

Pretty easy. One bolt underneath on each flare, and then maybe 3-4 bolts in the wheel wells. Bought the 1/4" 3M tape, super easy. Used a heat gun to get old tape off the flares and the truck (with some odorless mineral spirits). Take your time (budget 2-3 hours, or roughly a 6 pack of beer). Had some trouble gettin get front lined up and need to redo the passenger side because I broke a few clips pulling it off (it was cold here). Once you get the bolts out, slow pull (rear to front) and pop each clip and they come loose. The front have two tabs inserted into the plastic bumper on each side, so need to be careful there. I just pulled slowly, but you might be able to go through the hood behind the headlight and push them through (didn't;'t try)

This is the tape I bought (need two rolls, maybe 3 if you mess up a bunch):

Definitely a DIY project

 

Awesome thanks man. Appreciate the links. Truck looks great!

 

Thanks!

 

Looks great man! Can’t wait to see what else you do to it. In the mean time here’s an update on mine. I’ve been busy the last few weeks

 

Finally got my suspension on

 

Nice composition! - like the use of the out of focus foreground object...

 

Looks like a brochure. Nice.

 

Thanks! I just picked up a camera and giving photography another shot haha

Awesome pics!

 

How you like the feel of the 2/3 setting on the 6112s? I have some in my garage on the 3/4 settings waiting to go on. Holding off on installing since I’m considering trading in my black TRD OR for a 2021 cement if I can get a decent deal worked out.

 

Are you me? Lol nice truck

 

Got her a little dirty today.

 

I am really happy with it. Big difference from stock. More responsive but not stiff by any means.

 

Its 1st time in the snow, yesterday. Did really well. 99% in 2wd, with traction control working quite a bit. Likely due to the Duratrac's. I think they're outstanding in the snow.

 

What’s next brutha?! I will be doing some extensive suspension work shortly. Got everything dialed in weight wise in the rear, gonna put it on scales.
