Installed Bilstein 5100's and Some Other Mods

Really nice truck! Did you have the Avid bar painted/powder coated?

 

Thanks. I got a quote from a local shop to powder coat it but just decided to paint it myself in the end. I wanted to be able to touch it up myself. The avid bar has already been hit by a boulder and a car while I have had it. Its in perfect shape except that some of the paint scratched off. I plan on sanding it down soon and painting it again.

 

How much was the quote for powder coating? Just curious.

 

It was around 150 depending on the color.

 

Not too bad! If I can find a powder coater here that'll do it for $75-$100, I'm definitely getting it!

Will be back to post pics

 

The truck looks great. Is the TRD emblem on the front the one that bolts on? Or is it the one that has the 3m tape on the back? Either way, I really like the look. Thanks.

 

Thanks man!

The TRD emblem has 2 bolts attached to it; you slide the emblem through the grille then attach the 2 nuts on the opposite end and tighten them in place.

Not bad for an inexpensive 5 minute install!

 

Do you remember where you got it? I test fit one from ebay a while back and the holes would not line up with the holes in the grill. I'd love to find one that fits. Thanks.

 

I got mine from Ebay, and you're right, the holes did not line up. I wasn't too pleased that it wouldn't sit flush, however, it didn't bother me that much and it looks awesome!
