plasti dipped my rear bumper today. hated the chrome.

 

I did tha same thing! Shit looks pretty damn good actually

 

yeah i used 1 can. i think there maybe just a very little bit left. but from about 2 feet away you can kinda tell where my strokes over lapped a little and stuff, not that bad tho. i think in a few weeks i’ll get some bed liner and bed line it.

only chrome i have now is my grill. many a color matched satoshi really bad. than i wont have any chrome.

 

Hey everyone! Long time no post. I'm in the process of moving up to Knoxville. Since my commute to school will be about 10 minutes compared to ~2hrs/day, I'm thinking about getting in the Tacoma scene again because I miss having a truck. Thinking about going with something like this http://tinyurl.com/surfsidemica Completely different than what I had, but I really like the color since its rare and thats about all I need as far as amenities go.

 

i plasti dipped my grill too and that shit aint even thought about peelin off yet! haha thats some badass shit

welcome back! and on that color . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

can go either way. Personally I love it. I've always had subdued colors and wanna change it up.

 

sweet man hope you get back in one!

 

Yeah, the Mazda would be fine if it had a 5spd. 4spd slushbox is terrible. Hopefully I'll get one sooner than later.

 

I wanna see pics of the bumper Zach... I finally did the fog light mod...It was soo easy.

 

I'm on my phone. But look at my build thread. Link is in my sig.

 

Hi guys, new Tennessee member here!!!

Hope to be able to meet up with guys in the future!

 

^^^ what's up man! Welcome! Where u at??

 

Manchester (Manchesteroo)

I would like to get some more pics up soon! The above was taken yesterday at Sewanee after loading up my son's crap on move out day. One of only 2 pics I have taken so far....

 

it looks good chris. you got any mods planed? after i get new head unit and windows tinted i’m saving for a few other small things and than a lift and bigger wheels/tires.

 

iam up for a meet .

 

First thing is gonna be polished stainless step tubes. It is bone stock right now, and other than a couple of minor appearance items, I dont want ot change up the look too much. I wanna do some smaller, less noticeable mods. I wanna put lights in the bed and install a hidden electrical inverter. I wanna add a couple of outlets to the dash, probably upgrade the stereo.

Not completely sure exactly which way I want to go with it right now. Im still trying to get over the fact that I actually have it!!!

 

i think we may have 1 or 2 this summer. i tried to set up a meet and greet at hooters in Alcoa in jan, but it kinda fell thru. i think we may have a meet and greet and/or a little off road meet just north of knoxville is a WMA that i think any stock 4wd would do just fine.(thats why i thought of royal blue wma to get the most people even stock trucks) i’m going to go up 2 trails in the next few weeks when i get tires.

nice! thats what i thought i was going to do. just small mods. now i want lift wheels tires front and back plate bumpers, slider, roof rack. i say get a satoshi grill. wont be to much change but will look nice. search bed lights and you will find a few wright ups on how to do bed lights. also maybe try and find a crashed TRD and get the inverter out of it.

i was not sure for awhile thats why it has been almost a year with like nothing done.

 

Yeah the lights in the bed write up on here is what made me want them. I never thought to look for a crashed TRD for the inverter, I was just gonna buy one and find a place to hide it, but thats a great idea!!!

 

idk. maybe and after marked would be better. more watts and stuff. not sure tho. also i think on the TRD it is under the center console. i want to add like 2 more plugs inside the truck, and run them off the TRD inverter.

 

also if you found a crashed TRD. get the bed plug in, it’s nice to have. i plugged my iphone in it one day.

all you would have to do is run the wires and un screw the pocked that is in you’r truck and screw/bolt the one from a TRD that has the bed plug in. i think their is a wright up on it.
