    Revtek 3" Leveling kit with 1.25" in rear. Grillecraft mesh grill with TRD emblem, Hella 500's mounted behind grille, horn relocation, blacked out lower valence, allpro offroad bumper, blacked out roof, and so much more to do...
    That was the plan, but our hangar was occupied by a helicopter. I am also looking at doing a roof wrap just to see. Just curious I guess.

    If I were to add 33" tires, would I need a lift? If so, what do you suggest? Also, would I need to do any cutting?

    You would need something that would give you at least 2.5 inches of lift, and with that you would still have to trim some. Your build thread says you have a 3 inch lift, that should be enough. But you still may need to do very little trimming where your fender meets up with the cab.

    How far down did you spray the valence. Can you show a pic of the underside? Just want to see how it looks. I have a lifted truck so people will be able to see it there too...

    Been searching around on here and have found some tacos with its badges blacked out. I had to do it so I bought a can last night for a little over $6.
    [​IMG]

    What you'll need: Plasti-dip, toothpicks for the letters, Copenhagen, Basspro ads, and some tape. Blow dryer speeds up the process.
    [​IMG]

    Here I just taped everything up really good:
    [​IMG]
    (Not a bad price on those boat seats!)

    I hit it with a good coat and let it set for about 20 or so:
    [​IMG]

    Same with the others:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Then after about 3 coats each, I took the tape off:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Here is where I started to peel off the majority of it, but not with the letters punched out:
    [​IMG]

    This is the finished product. Looks much better than all that chrome:
    [​IMG]

    Learned not to spray too close on the letters because of run. Had to redo two of the letters they peeled off with the tape. Anyways, overall very easy mod to make your truck look much better.
