Took off the diamond plate tool box and put in these boxes I found at the surplus store



Painted the stock wheels


Picked this up last night. Found it on craigslist for $30


Cap on the truck coated in herculiner:




How she sits now with TG front bumper and 4xinnovations DOM sliders:

 

The wheels are "painted" with plastidip, the emblems and grille are also plastidipped lol. Oh and my front bumper too. I just need to take more pictures of my truck

 

Call me dumb, but did you paint those wheels since I saw your truck last or were they painted when we met up?

 

I just painted them Wednesday night, they were the stock silver when we met up lol

 

Finally

 

F'in sweet.

Can't wait to see them!

 

I thought it was about time too lol

 

Hopefully you will like them when you see them tomorrow lol

 

Yes they are!

All those cans would fill so many Tacomas lol. I'll empty out the little bit in each can and I will have moar to spray on shit! :

 

Herculined the cap I just bought last night





Also did my bed rails since I had a little left over from the cap

 

Here's my Ultragauge setup and that switch where the clock is, is for my lights up front. Check out the 19.5 Average MPG lol

I want to see the cap on the truck.

 

Cool truck. I like where you're headed, but I'll never understand why anyone would choose to use Herculiner. I have never seen a Herculiner job that didn't look plain aweful. There is no way to get a good finish with that stuff and it fades and looks bad way too quickly.

Not trying to knock your truck because I honestly like it. I just hate Herculiner.

Carry on.

 

i think you shoulda had the cap repainted
just my .02

 

I'll post a pic as soon as I get the stuff to secure it to the bed

 

I have herculiner on my rocker panels too and it looks good imo, even though it has faded. It looks sort of like a flat black instead of a gloss black when it fades. If you mix and apply it right it will come out looking good and even.

 

I thought about that but I didn't want to spend a lot of money to fix it up. If I used the spray paint it probably wouldn't hold up well and wouldn't match very well. Getting it professionally repainted would be pretty expensive. The herculiner will basically match my rocker panels and it will be very durable. I thought through all my options before I herculined it and that seems like the best of all the options to me.

 

Here's a few pics of my truck at the meet on Neil's farm (MaxTacoma)

 

Just installed the cap. There are some spots I need to touch up but I like how it looks.
