Magnetic Gray Thread!!!

A shot from the weekend; honestly made me fall in love with the color all over again

 

Congrats on the new ride, but what made you decide to go with that bull bar? I looks like it came off a honda ridgeline. Your truck would look so much better without it IMO.

 

I think it looks like a newer hilux item ^^^^^

 

Oh, and here is mine. One of my favorite pics to date.

 

Pete, I was looking for a bull bar that would allow me to later on install the undercover winch (which I just bought), I do not like the regular "pipe" bull-bar that I've seen in many trucks (the one they sell in Amazon)

I really like it to be honest and it's tougher than it looks.

 

Nice!
Don't ya just love it when you get an awesome pic of your truck? Sometimes they turn out really good and sometimes not so much. I probably get like 1 good one out of every 5.

 

I do lol I kept staring at the pic all day long haha I got a few others that are in my build thread but that's the best one I think

 

+1

Is that the case?

 

Pic of my truck wheeling this past weekend with the wife at the wheel. Credit goes to Konaborne for shooting it.

 

Just need a winch...

 

^^Looking good. I think its funny that AP makes a slot for the factory tie down. That shit should just get cut off, if you need to tie down the vehicle for transport you could just use the shackle recovery points.

 

It's not, the brand is BigCountry, but they do make the same bull-bar for the Hilux.

 

looks awesome. do you like those lights? I've looked at those since I need to replace my procomp 130's, but I didn't find much info on them

 

Your truck looks awesome, is the rear bumper custom made or can you buy it like that..?

 

MGM is the best...around

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

You're absolutely right. It looks a little cheesy.

I like them, so far. Haven't really had the chance to use them on the trails yet.

The rear bumper is made by All Pro and there's nothing custom, except for the paint. I had it sprayed with Line-X. If I had the chance to do it over, I would go a different route. Line-X is the thinnest coating out of the bedliner options, but it's still pretty thick. I had to do a LOT of grinding, trimming and stripping to get everything to line up properly. The paint's also a dirt-catcher. Being it's textured, it's a bitch to get clean when it gets muddy. Other than that, I think it looks good and it should be pretty durable.

 

Totally

 

I'm definitely interested to see some night shots when you get to use them
