2012 TRD sport budget black build.

How did the plasti dip hold up on those wheel? I have the same ones and am considering it.

 

It held up great. Just watch the dipyourcar videos on Youtube and follow their directions. Use one can per wheel and just keep piling on the coats... If you go light it won't peel well.

 

Very cool! Thanks man. Truck looks great BTW.

 

Did you dip the plastic cap in the cent of your wheels also?

 

Stumbled across a great deal on some used (but like new) blizzak DM-V2 tires and threw them on a set of 3rd gen TRD off-road wheels i had laying around. Used the spidertrax 1.25” spacers i had stashed away. Excited to test them out when the snow flies!

 

Had to retire my OG FXR retrofits after 6 years and 70+ miles of use. The lenses faded from the inside.. although light output was still fantastic they looked like turd. New setup is aftermarket headlights, matte black main reflector, matte black shrouds, chrome turn signal bucket, chrome projector shroud, orange reflector. Was going for more of the OEM look with this set. They are ‘the retrofit source’ D2S 5.0’s with Apollo 3.0 shrouds and Phillips XV2 Xtreme Vision bulbs. They are covered with Xpel to protect from fading via UV light and light road debris.

 

Beautiful headlights! What is xpel that you used to protect your headlights?

 

how do you like the truetrac? thinking about installing it on my 2wd for southern california desert/mountain trips when it's mostly dry. want 4wd, but it's an expensive endeavor right now with the vehicle prices.

 

8 years later and i still absolutely love the trutrac. Almost forgot i had it to be honest. It’s completely transparent you just always have traction.

 

that's good to hear! do you offroad a lot?

 

Not in the rock crawling offroad park way but i do a fair amount of back road driving here in WV. Lot of rutted out roads, loose small rocks, and washboard/gravel tracks.

 

Just a few updated pics. Removed light bar and replaced the lower-center bumper piece after having it painted black to match. New method 312 wheels with nitto Ridge grapplers.
