What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

bought 4 cans of this today to do my front grill and emblem. Also the bottom bar in front

 

Is that a don't do it face? ^

 

Nice. I dipped my grille emblem and plan to do that lower piece as well. The random grey finish looks silly.

 

Now did you remove the emblem or just paint the whole grey grill and emblem. If just emblem what's an easy way to remove

 

Don't paint the grille. Emblem pops out from the inside easily. I'll snap an upclose in a sec.

 

Ok awesome thanks

 

Your bottom bar is already black mine is white? Mops

 

Sorry, I have the facelift. Grille is coated in Adams In & Out if it looks a bit glossy.



Grey lower I plan to dip.

 

Had to drop off my tailgate today. Pretty much the only time I've ever had somebody who backed into / hit / door dinged a vehicle of mine take responsibility and did the right thing.

 

Are you gonna tape off that area and spray pasti dip while still on truck?

 

Mops you got an up close how the emblem comes out

 

That's a nice backup tailgate while yours is in the shop.

 

Yes dipping while on truck. Will grab a pic right now.

 

:beer:

Thats how it is with my MK2 as well. Its kinda sad to think I have probably the same amount tied up in a 2o year old Volkswagen and all that anybody see is its lowered with after market wheels.

On another note, its refreshing to see other people with these trucks that share the same point of view as me.

 

I dipped mines. Instead of leaving it on the bumper, I took the insert off because in the future I'm planning on getting a new insert (due to damage). When I get my new piece in, I'm planning on dipping it again. Gotta love the black look rather than the gray. Here's a pic:

 

ran my hose for my diff breather mod. Zip tied it out of the way. Going to the union and breather tomorrow from the stealership and finish it on up.

 

Welded the center panel in, got my side panels rough cut, lil grindin and gluing tommorow, center section is 1/4" sides are 1/8", oh and I ripped the rest of my mudflaps off

 

Installed my tailgate reinforcement today. Love it! Used Herculiner on it. Helluva deal.
