What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Where do you get this so called vinyl dye, and how long has it held up

 

I was just about to recommend asking you haha.

 

It's Duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye. I got it at OReillys.

Has held up perfectly after one year of Colorado which includes drives up the mountain passes on crappy winter roads with gravel and mag chloride, 4wheeling in the woods, etc...

For your chrome inserts, remove them, 320 grit sand them, clean them, prime them with self-etching primer and use spray paint. I used Rustoleum flat black. Perfect match to the Duplicolor flat black vinyl dye.

 

sunk her in a mud hole

 

Thanks! Very helpful, ill make sure to post once I get around to do it

LR UCA's are on
Alignment tomorrow morning

 

Next to the vinyl dye, you'll see Duplicolor prep wipes. Buy one of those.

Wipe down your valence before you spray the dye. It cleans the surface of oils and residues, etc...

Also wear gloves so the oils from your hands don't mess with the surface once it's clean.

Oh... and spray this stuff in a well ventilated area and let it cure in a well ventilated area. Shit stinks bad.

 

Awesome! New model fridge too. That will be sweet. Tent looks like it fits well. Let me know how your topper handles the weight.

 

I would but i didnt take any. I sunk it but i managed to get out. Idk how i have 265permission 70 16 Firestone ats they suck in mud but surprised the hell outta me today. I watchef my friend sink his ranger with baja claws in the same hole and a cummins pulled him out.

 

Well ya its a Ford Ranger I had one of those POS trucks before my Tacoma, well at least your Tacoma didn't have to have the pull of shame like the ford!

 

I was proud of the yota theres a hole around the place i went today that shallowed a dodge 1500 on 40 inch mud grapps he ended up breakin both cv axles in the process told him he needs a sas to help turn those 40s

 

Definitely would help, friend did the same in his 05 ram diesel but he has 37's instead of 40's, post some of your mudding pics when you get some in the "who all slings mud in their tacos" thread

 

Added an awning to my rig

 

Does it stay like that, or can you pack it elsewhere? Looks like it sticks out quite a bit.

 

And finish that jerry can holder!

 

Broke a weld on my Bilsteins

 

It sticks out a bit. But not bad. Location wise it's perfect.

But doesn't come off without undoing the 4 bolts. Ill probably put up brackets on the side of the roof rack too and just go back and forth.

Once I put the bike racks on it won't be so bad.

Going to tommorrow I think

 

longing forward ot the bike racks
