Long Travel BS Thread

yeah, puts down a real even coat, blends nicely also. I cant see any streaks in it at all. The texture kinda resembles the texture on our stock composite beds

 

Cool, it seems like a good product since I dont want a heavily textured paint.
I'll try getting it done tomorrow and post pics

 

Maybe try the rubberized undercarriage paint Krish. That's what I plan on using.

I went to a local paint supplier krish and bought a gun and a gallon of the undercoating and layed it on thick its held up pretty fair>> if i were to do it over i would pull the bedsides and have them line xed along with the tops...

 

That and for the most part all questions asked here are suspension questions. Its not like someone is in here asking the about the difference between a trd off road and trd sport.

At least your glass matches your truck color.. I haven't bothered with my glass in a good 4 years now.

 

Yeah from far away it looks color matched. Up front its completely sand blasted and has a bunch of scratches lol but for $15 I'm not complaining. I might even throw another coat of silver on them since they're off the truck, just like new again

Painting glass is a waste of money IMO, you can properly color match them with a spray gun and clear them to be good enough. The amount of scratches and chips is ridiculous and they can break pretty easily.

 

dupli color ftw

 

Fuck yeah! hahaha

 

mine came out more matte that the rest of the truck haha

 

i cleared mine.....but no wet sand

 

I'm in the camp of just get a $300 paint job and treat the problem areas once they arise. Eddie just tapes off and sprays undercoat on the severely chipped up areas. Mine are getting bad in a few places and wil do the same shortly. But up close my paint looks good in the low traffic areas

 

Hey guys with the early tacomas, i am looking for a shorter radiator anyone know an option other than Ron Davis? The stock one comes down to low past frame rails and want it shorter for bumper fab. Thanks

 

Im pretty sure I have read on a few people that swapped out the 4cyl radiator. You have to do some stuff to change around the fan but its shorter and does not hang below the frame. I live in AZ so I dont want to lose any cooling capacity but the people that did said they are not overheating

 

If I did some thing like this I would get a powerful electric fan for sure

 

I'm planing on doing the fan delete, with 2 electric fans. My buddy has it done and said he notices a decent amount of power gain too

 

Most things I've read say not to go with the electric fans because they tend to die more then the stock ones.

 

You can use the 2.4L radiator, the 2.7 is too tall. Your stock fan should be fine otherwise electric does a good job. Make sure you wire them to start with the ignition key just in case you forget to hit the switch to run them.

 

Wet sand is the ticket between each coat. Well sand between coat and finish wet sand. Its all day but bringing out a cold brew makes it easy but I'm already in need to redo my glass
