Turner's 2013 Build....

looking to get an ultragauge and mount it where yours is. i looked on their site and i dont see the mount you referenced. the only one i see for a windshield has the suction cup and really long arm. the other mounts look to only be stick on.

 

Sorry man... Just noticed your post. I got the swivel mount from them. It comes with 3m tape and I just mounted it by the mirror. I have never had a lot of luck with suctions mounts and the window mount they sell looks like shit to me. This mounts perfectly where it is and there is "just" enough cable to run in the headliner, down the A-Pillar, and to the connection.

 

what color did u buy to paint the grille? thanks thinking of doing that to mine.. but maybe pastic dip

 

I'm sorry man.... I just now noticed your post.

This is the paint that I used.

 

Great looking truck! Quick question, what brand is your light bar and how do you like it? Is it holding up good?

 

Nice Taco! I plasti-coated my emblems as well. Looks way better than the chrome. Plan on during the front valance as well, but I think I prefer to have it painted white instead of black. Just my pref.. Cheers!

 

Great build man

 

Sorry, I missed this post. It is a Tuff 40" LED combo light bar. It uses Cree LED's and has 3 floods on either end and the rest are spots. It is a awesome bar with simple install. The big selling point was the infinitely adjustable mounts that came with it. I have to drive almost 25 miles of country back roads going to the Fire Station every third day and there are deer everywhere. This gives me a little advantage that I didn't have before plus it looks cool as shit

Thank you. I like the way my grill matches my lower valance. If I had a Sport model I might consider what you are talking about though. I think that would look pretty cool.

Thank you my friend!

 

I need to start a new build page and put everything in one post since all the work and pictures are scattered throughout this one.

 

EXCELLENT color choice

Have SteelCity make you some custom firefighter TRD decals.

I took mine off first thing when I bought my truck. Then 6 years later,I designed my own and had steel make em so now I got the TRD decals again.

Truck looks good man

 

Thank you! Nah man... I don't do the whole FF sticker thing. Got the IAFF Union Sticker and License Plate and that's it. I hate to say it but it has gotten me off with just a warning a time or two.

 

Good choice of tire also! Love my Fierce.

How tough was the install on the N-Fab bar?

I've had it on my Amazon wish list for 5 years. I think it's time to grab it. Then get a light bar.

 

Brotherhood

 

N-Fab bar took maybe 15 mins tops. N-Fab is top notch and everything mounts up easy. Well worth the money IMO

 

Exactly!

 

I gotta get it then. Thanks bud.

 

Yeah... you won't regret it!

 

Man I hate to keep hitting you up about this paint. So I ended up having to order the grill paint from Amazon. It finall gets here so I start painting. I first used some self etching primer. Did about 2 or 3 coats. Then I did about 2 or 3 Coates of this matte paint. And I kid you not, it's exactly the same as when I startd. The mesh still looks like a glossy black powered coated grill. Should I have not primed it first. Or maybe I shouldn't have used self etching primer. Sigh

 

That's weird because that's exactly what I did. I sanded the grill, used the self etching primer and lightly sanded that, then put real light coats on the grill. When it was done it matched the valance perfectly.

 

Uhg. Maybe I did too heavy of coats. The back side where the over spray was looks very matte. But the front is still very glossy. Oh well don't want to hijack your thread any longer. I'll the it another go.
