Custom Paint Job for 2nd Gen Street Taco

yo eduardo! Appreciate it bro!

I noticed you have a writeup on the fogs for tacos without the wiring. Where do you live? Maybe you can wire up some HIDs on mine. I have an 05 so mine didn't come with wires.

 

Would gladly help but I'm too far (Puerto Rico)

I have to upload the pictures again, I changed web hosting service so pics are gone from the thread.

 

oh damn, puerto rico! haha! pm when you get the pictures back up. I might just give it a try when I have the time. Thanks again bro!

 

Subd. Definitely unique.

 

looks great dude, anxious to see some pics of the shaved tailgate, im doin it to my xrunner, and ive heard from a few body shops that after a couple weeks to get it hand washed and waxed and it should be fine, i would think leaving it dusty would hurt it more than anything. (i had my 4wd painted)

 

and what drop are you runnin? djm? ive only ever seen the djm on my xrunner, so i dono what it looks like without the body kit.

 

Looks clean man

 

That's my goal! I always wondered how a late model mini truck would look with staggered jdm wheels. We'll have to find out in a few months!

Thank You F16TACO! As long as you pick the right shop and do it right the first time, the paint job would look awesome no matter what color you go. Btw, what color did you have in mind?

Sweet, you have an x-runner and a 98?! That's dope man. I wish wifey would let me have 2 trucks haha! And I think you're right about leaving dust. It rained here in SD a couple days ago and now it's dried up under the sun. I thought of how maybe it would damage the paint. I might just hose it down this weekend and dry it with a chamois or microfiber. Good looking out bro!

I'm too lazy to re-type it here lol, it should be on the 5th page somewhere but to answer your question, yes, it does have DJM arms plus other suspension mods. Oh and if an x-runner had the same exact drop as mine, I'm pretty sure the body kit would be trashed already.

Thx! What part of 619 you live in?

 

im runnin a djm, lol. and im droppin it another inch this weekend hopefully, i will be runnin a 4/5 on a xrunner lol. im very meticulous with where i drive and how i drive it lol. its my show truck.

 

That's kinda difficult to do on some of these Mississippi roads huh? Lol

 

dude, you have no idea lol. i bottomed the frame out and got stuck leavin a car wash the other day lol.

 

I can see that happening. Lol I don't know about lucedale, but Marion county has some pretty rough roads. Potholes. "pothole patches". Bumps. Rough uneven Bridges.
I've never bottomed out exactly. But I did hit one of those bridges followed by a bump a bit fast and hit my bump stops pretty hard. Lol

 

DeLorean is Stainless Steel, not painted

 

looks really good man, now tint those windows!

 

great looking build! - Let's see a shot of the back finished!

 

Just started following this, truck looks real good!

 

Looking good! Imo...cut that plastic under the foglight that hangs down, will look cleaner. But regardless!

 

My fronts were going bald so I picked up a used pair with 80% thread left off craigslist but now I regret not going a lil smaller. I rub when I U-turn or have a gang of passengers going over a small dip. I might go with those sizes next time around, that's if I don't have my eyes set on some used 19s or 20s.

Thx lowgmc! That's a nice looking truck you got in your sig btw. Do you have any shots of it?

I always wondered what the hell that thing was. You're right, I definitely need to trim that off. Looks funky just sticking out like that haha!

 

re-quoting myself....

lets see it!
