What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Platidip makes it a breeze. just tape off the emblem leaving a bit of room to peel back the excess, maybe a newspaper in each direction for overspray.

i hit it with 5 coats, waiting about 10-15 minutes between coats. then i let it dry for a few hours, untaped everything and started peeling off the excess. go slow and pull down and out. with enough coats, it'll break where the emblem touches the body. if not you can either touch up or start over.

i used a toothpick to dig out the dip inside the As and the O, everything else practically came off in one pull.

hope that helps. there are probably thousands of videos on youtube if you need a visual aid.

it's all in the prepwork and then trial and error from there. the beauty of Plastidip is that it won't hurt your paint.

 

Alli see is windows and tires

 

Plasticolor mud flaps. 11x19. Used 3 self toppers into the plastic.

 

Thanks a lot will get it done in the next couple of days

 

No rubbing and no lift, it seems like a great combo, liking the ride as well.

 

and this was to remove that ORange trim pieces correct? I missed the first part of that conversation I had the dealer order me some gray ones too they are jsut not in yet.

 

yes, to remove the orange pieces. It's attached to some black AC plastic parts too. Pull hard on the orange piece from the sides...It will all come off together. Then, flip it over and you will see several screws and 3 clips...Then the Orange can be removed. Reverse everything to replace with gray.

 

Got this at kempterkustoms.com Nathan is the guy that makes these. He got quite a good little gallery of pics. cool stuff and a great guy to work with.

 

kempterkustoms.com Nathan has some great stuff and can probably make anything you wanted.

 

Not for my truck. I have the 4 cylinder and found them to be too heavy.

 

Toyota dealer parts department. I'll post pic of part numbers.

 

Mods to date, dipped the grille, Hella Supertones horns, tool box, bed extender, and (really old) Yakima bar with wheel mounts, mud guards (Rally Armor universal plus), step bars, and matte black tailgate letters.

 

Tie your damn shoes and post some audio of them bad ass lookin horns!

 

Installed Nerf bars this weekend. N-fab 3"

 

Looks great Did you dp the grille and the badges or paint?

 

I saw a YouTube of them. If they're the same ones, it sounds like a high pitched clown nose. I'd be down to buy them if they do sound deep though...

 

Received a free rock chip on my windshield today (and I am not at home driving it!)

 

I was worried about these horns (Supertones) sounding a bit too high pitched, but they aren't what I thought. The Sharptones are not as high ptiched

 

Very disappointed in selection of accessories for my TRD Access. No vendor in my area of Virginia has anything I can look at before I order and buy. I ordered 5" Lund bent end stainless nerf bars and front and rear Husky liners today. I will not be lifting mine. I am anxious to see how the mud flaps look and figure how big/wide tires I could clear with them. Had them on my 2000 and 2008 Taco Prerunners and they looked great and functioned well with oversized tires. Also anxious to see the newly designed seamless ventshades. Had tape ons on the 2000 and in-channel on the 2008 and my 2014 F150. Not a fan of either of those for my 2016. The in-channels look superb but they really score the top of the glass over time. The new seamless by AVS look like in-channel but are taped in. The only other need is a tool box. Have not shopped for them yet. I had Lund gull wing aluminum on my other 3 recent trucks. They look good but sit high. Probably going with low profile for this truck. Wheels and tires and Coverking seat covers probably before this summer. Watching the forum for ideas.

 

I posted it buy/sell/trade forum. two people are in line to get it as of right now.
