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

Im getting ready to do all mine with it while I have it, gonna lay one more good coat on my floor boards then spray the tewb doors and sliders and bedrack with it Also doing another members floor boards in his DC

 

Painted my tg front bumper with satin but my sliders with bed liner. My old rear tg was bed lined also. Only running the rack with the rtt. Leaning towards bed liner.but not sure.

 

Go for it!!

 

Had to upgrade my radio as it wasn't iphone/android compatible, had no AUX in or USB. Was going to replace my climate control bulb but didn't have one.

 

Nice looking unit!!

 

That's the same one I have! Except I don't think I have the Pandora thing hmm...but I can still play my Pandora over it lol.

Taped my grille to death:

 

FWIW

My garage floor and the texture of Bed Armor (globs and all)

 

Looks normal. Not very globby..it's bed liner man. Not paint. Not supposed to be smooth haha

 

I know that. But the nozzle really sucks on this thing and huge globs were spitting out all over the place. I had toothpicks to either pick them off the rack or smooth them out.

 

Huh I've never had an issue with the rattle cans.

 

Both cans (including the 3rd one from before when Jon was here) did it.

Same exact issue

 

Nice! How much of the pocket did you cut up to get the scanguage in there?

Also, isn't that a "Monster" aux cord?

 

I think that looks awesome I'm thinking of doing my tailgate in it haha. It's so banged up and scratched/chipped I think it would look a hell of a lot better in black bedliner.

 

Thanks man.

You can see one glob shimmering in the light in that second pic.

The first full diamond in the bottom left.

That's gonna piss me off beyond belief.

 

Weird.

How far are you holding the can??

 

From the rack? About 16" or so.

Unless I have to get into one of the 90* corners and then I bring it closer.

It's more of a (mal)function of how long I hold the nozzle down. After about 5 or 7 seconds it begins to bubble up at the hole, then "foam up" (like Cujo) all along the top of the nozzle eventually kind of partially clog itself up making it spit out globs instead of spraying a nice even mist.

 

I went to the dealer today to see how much it would cost to get two new lenses for my headlights since they are all fogged up.

$212 EACH FOR A FREAKING LENSE. I couldn't help but make a small scene and was like "OMG what are you guys smoking?!" The guy helping me was like :| and some other guy was giggling. lol

A. I can get the entire headlight assembly on Rock Auto for $30 each.
B. I can get a set of HIDs for even cheaper!

MY GOD MAN!

 

I do bursts when I paint. You have to with rattle cans as far as I know.

Real short like 1-2secnd bursts while moving the can.

Unlike a paint gun where you can do long long sprays.

 

stick them in the oven and reglue them. I have a shit ton of glue left over from when I did my HID.

 

Just restore them.

Wet sand it with 400 grit.

Then 800

1000

2000

Then polish it with a polish wheel and compound. Wipe clean. Spray with clear cost.

Bam. New head lights.

Would hid them. The lenses aren't designed of that kind of light and a ton of light is wasted and just blinds on coming traffic. Only if your doing a projector retro fit is it really worth HIDs in head lights.
