Kaena Point November 17, 2013

I'd leave it, or just go with a rattle can paint job. I've already taken to my sliders with a paint/rust stripper and re-coated them to cover up some gouges. I just used some VHT roll bar paint, because you don't need to prime. Just grind, clean, and re-spray. Don't want to jinx you with any more boulders, though!

 

lol, hopefully that was a one time mistake

I want to have everything looking nice at least once, then I will just touch up any scratches. The powdercoat I got on my roof bar last year is crazy thick and really nice. I want that so you can't see my ugly welds

Or maybe I'll have it all professionally bedlined!

I may try stripping the bedliner off next month and spraying it again now that I know how the stuff behaves.

 

Wow ! Trucks looking BADASS Nate!!

 

Thank you sir

Thanks Ron! Gotta do sliders next

 

Told you that shit is hard to spray evenly
Looks badass anyway

 

Forreal! Everywhere where I couldn't get a good angle is super gloppy

But I think I could get it right if I take more time so I might try it again. The texture in the good spots is really nice though.

Here's from today:

 

Looks like you need a can of high temp black paint for your radiator. Bumper looking good.

 

Thanks Miles

because of our unfortunate laws, my license plate is now taking up most of that opening

 

I never noticed before but is your gas door sticker bombed?

 

that's the same orange digi camo that's on his tailgate.
He gots a lot o pics in his "turck build" album

 

Awesome job bro!!! Are you going to build a back one to?

 

Just realized there is no winch mount? How you gonna do a self recovery?

 

Crap Nate.. nice job... again... I wish I could weld...

 

lol you found that huh

Thanks Chris! Yep, sliders and a rear should be started by the end of the year.

If I buy a winch, I'll build the mount around it. Right now I don't want the weight. A shovel was all I needed every time I have had to do a self recovery so far

Thanks Neil

 

Nah, just weld a receiver on the front bumper too, then you can attach your winch to the front or back if needed. Keep the winch in the bed or cab for better weight distribution
still, easily the nicest frontier on the island

 

Thanks! I gotta try and keep up with all these awesome Tacoma's on the island!

 

You still comin out this weekend Nate?

 

Yeah I'll be there. If it's super muddy I might ride along with Miles. And I gotta leave early again.

 

Ok t-minus 23 hours we are going to have another big turn out. If it is not raining we will be outside same place as last time. See you guys and girls tomorrow. I will post when we are leaving breakers to go to kaena point. So if you are bit eating breakfast we can meet up at the parking lot befor the entrance of kaena point.
