Canadian Build Thread

If you order bare metal, be prepared to scuff it with some 100 to 120 grit sandpaper, next clean with methyl hydrate, followed by a coat of self-etching primer or adhesion promoter, then paint or coat. Very easy.

You'll be good to go!

Easy to maintain too!

 

Hey I'm from Abbotsford too. What trail is this?

 

I'm from Abbotsford, BC Canada. Here is my 2013 Tacoma. Let me know what you think. Lots of mods, too many to list.

 

Then show us in a thread!

 

Is anyone running a bestop cover on their trucks? Looking for some feedback from ya.

I like my tonneu cover since its easy on and off, but your limited to how high you can stack shit. A cap would be ideal, but I don't want to be limited if I have something tall, and the process of on and off isn't as quick/easy as a tonneu cover. So Bestop seems like a happy medium, but I am concerned about the fabric in the winters, does it hold up? Is it somewhat water tight? Is it worth the money?

Would appreciate any feedback with your experiences

 

So I park beside a factory issue TRD Off Road ...



... and take a closer look ...



Which one is the Off Road vehicle of choice?



The Off Road looks like a fucking car. I can't wait to park beside a factory Pro.

 

That was just up in sumas provincial park. Nice truck, man!

 

Did a little more work on it.









... a Canadian version of the TRD Pro.

 

Looks good. What rear bumper is that? Trail Gear?

 

Avid Off Road Rear Bumper Guard (same co. as the step sliders and light bar) - Brandon is in the Vendor list under Avid

 

Nice. I like it but I think I want one that removes stock bumper completely. Limited choice for tube bumpers in that sense. Only one I can think of right now is Trail Gear.

... but, it also replaces the factory hitch assembly, and I can't have that.



I tow, I tow, it's off to work I go.

What colour is that truck?

I just installed my BackRack today.



Now for some LED floods.

 

I suppose I could do some updates...



Got my retrofit from Ambiguous in a while back, and finally had time to install the Pro grill I had sitting at my folks place since December. Put Lamin-X on the fog lights, still need to do the headlights. Since that photo did my badges in black. Have some CBI Off Road sliders coming. Still trying to talk myself into the TRD Supercharger haha.

Had Avid front/rear guards and sliders on my 2007. Such great gear. I need to get another rear bumper guard for my new truck. Should have taken it off before selling the 2007. Looks great on yours!

 

Sandstone Metallic

 

It didn't replace your stock bumper? Just goes over?

 

nvm. You don't have the trail gear one..duh

 

Looks like we have very similar tastes.

I'll post up some pictures after I pick her up from Tacoma town.

 

Ha, I bought mine from Cochrane Toyota as well.

I'm also a Geologist....very similar tastes! Haha
