Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

I'm getting BBP but the most difficult decision is the access cab or 4 door.

 

such a hard color to get, but a very nice color.

That's an easy one! 4 door all the way

 

I have had each and I personally have no use for the 4 door. I carry an occasional 9 year old grandkid that has no issue with the jump seat. I have found a longer bed more useful than a full rear seat. Did not want the length of a double cab long bed. I have a tool box for groceries and stuff. Comes down to personal needs. The trouble I had here on the east coast was finding the sport in access cab that was rear wheel drive. That took a few weeks. 4 wheel drives are plentiful.

 

I was going through the same thing. I ordered my access cab and then second guessed myself as all I saw on the road was 4 doors. For me it came down to I wanted the longer bed without having the super long rig and I rarely would have the need for a third person. The second row would, for me, basically be wasted space. I like the access cab, and the fact that the "suicide doors" open to ease access was a plus.

 

I gotta get mine put on already

 

I love the way rain beads up on new cars... Especially when the new "car" is a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport...

 

That is a killer picture!! Nicely done man!!

 

I got my truck yesterday! I also put on some new tires this morning.

 

Welcome to tw and nice truck man.

 

I had to order mine since my region receives very few of the configuration I want. Estimated build date is May 6th. Double Cab Long Bed TRD 4x4 Sport automatic with premium and technology package, hard trifold cover, mud flaps, all season floor mats w/door sill protector. Debated between white and Blazing Blue Pearl, but ultimately decided on the BBP. Can hardly wait for delivery. Replacing my 2005 Double Cab LB SR5 which I loved. Resale value is awesome. Got more than 55% of purchase amount even after 11 years and 115k!

 

First pictures I was able to take.









Truck has Old Man Emu suspension 885 coils, driver lean spacer, soft ride shocks, Headstrong Off Road add a leaf with factory overload still in, Trd Pro 4runner wheels and 275/70r17 bfg ko2 all terrains.

 

I see you had the same issue as i had with the first "A" where it curls at the bottom of the right foot. cant tell in my pic but if you look at it from the drivers seat you notice it a lot. if it bothers me too much, I will redo it with the spare letters from the 2nd set.

 

Looks really nice. I've been trying to figure out a lift to do for mine and have been waiting for a direct plug and play from OME. I've seen people take the '15 kits and get it to work for the '16, but I've been waiting for them to update their stuff. This on the other hand, looks great. May have to just piece one together like this. Nice job.

 

Thank you. I did have a chance to talk to a rep of Arb/Ome at a local show and was told that I would be completely fine using the 15 kit and would never feel any difference. He said its a very minor difference and that they had used the 15 kit on their own truck.

 

how new or old has NOTHING to do with how water beads up. Honestly those are average beads. Get a quality wax/sealant and see what real beading is like.
Carpro Hydro2 on my truck, quick pic. the beads almost make a full sphere. Driving at about 30mph will sheet off all the water

 

Pismo trip, the truck turned a lot of heads in the dunes.
