What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just got done applying Fluid Film to anything and everything metal. It wasn't as messy as I'd expected.

This is my first NEW Toyota but I've owned enough older ones to know what happens when you aren't proactive with rust prevention.

I'll do the wife's 4Runner next weekend. I'm not looking forward to that one.

 

Blacked out the inner Grille section to Satin Black! Will this be enough to keep me from going Pro??!!
Note: Videos show only Tabs holding the Outer Chrome trim ring in place. On my 2017 TRD OR there were 8 small screws in addition to about 12 Tabs holding it on. All in all it took me about an hour and a half from start to finish. Most of the time was waiting between coats and final dry time before reinstalling. I didn't remove the inner trim. I just taped off the bezel to avoid breaking any tabs. Piece of cake!

 

Yes.

 

Well I guess as long as the paint sticks I'll be good to go! I used Rustoleum Universal Satin Black paint. Should hold up well but we'll see!
Thinking of adding a TRD emblem like this one. This is the truck that gave me the idea to paint just the inside Grille. I like this combination.

Another work day.

 

Looks really good ! All you guys , have now me second guessing the big chrome plastic grill .I used to like it but I now also like it blacked out . Who says you can not teach an old dog new tricks ?

 

Went out and enjoyed the weather and the scenery.

 

Couple other pics

 

I picked up these for 50$ from Academy on clearance. Now I need some brackets to mount them! Any recommendations that don't cost more then the light themselves?

 

My kind of country as it looks like home !Where is this at ?

 

southeast Ohio.

 

Got red letter insert for dashkitmall.com. Cant wait until i get my black and black w/red stitching leather covers from ciazzio. Oh yea and I add a bike rack.

 

Dipped the chrome bumper covers.

 

Whelp.. Saying goodbye is never easy.. Lol I'm trading in my 2016 Black TRD sport 4x2 today.. but it makes it a lot easier when I'm getting a Quicksand Tan 4x4 to take its spot hahaha. Can't wait to start modding the new truck

 

Nice choice

Looking for fog light or ditch light brackets
