Tacos in St. Louis area

I'm getting there slowly but surely





At least once a day during the week and 1-3 times a day on the weekends

 

I appreciate the input. I ended up pulling the trigger with the OME with 887 springs and the OME E111R leaf pack. Seems like it’ll be the middle ground feel I’m looking for. After a lot of reading, it seems the 5100s are great but just a little more stiff than I’m looking for.

 

Who is this? Helpful advice from @Tacomania ? That’s gotta be a first

 

He's an imposter

 

It's called The Stranger

Is anyone in the STL/Jeffco area good with touch up? I've got a couple spots that look like crap after 8 months already

 

Toyota paint strikes again!

 

More like ratchet straps/rock rash.

Yea dude before me left a bunch of these all over the back end.

What's funny is the guy selling the truck tried to tell me 'no man, this is oem grade touch up paint it's permanently bonded to the body and won't ever come off, never rust, and never need touch up'. Yea that globbed on touch up is a real work of art dude, it's 100% coming off within the first year.

 

Lol. We have OEM touch up paint here but I don't know how long the class it holds up. I know the two ravs I've done tailgates for have not come back with issues so there's that. I guess. One of them was even Barcelona red which is a tough color

 

By no means am I a pro painter, but I have painted many things. That looks like a full sand down, try to blend or complete body panel repaint. Trouble is, it’s a darker color and it’s been 5 years. That scrape is way too big to be treated with touch up paint/pen. If ya want it done right so ya don’t get rusty, I’d take it to a few shops to see what can be done. That previous owner had no business trying to cover that big a spot with touch up pen and it’s flaking off for that exact reason.

 

just get yourself a vinyl decal to cover it

 

Not a bad idea but cover that bare metal with some kinda paint first so it doesn’t rust

 

I got a quote today and they said they'd need to do the full panels so both rear panels and tailgate was 3-4k

 

This is the way
