NutterButter's Build

Figured I'd start one for the Blue Ribbon Metalics. Don't see a lot of them around on here but that's all good. Picked up the truck back in May 2015 with 40 miles on the dash. Close to 12k on it now. Been hovering around this site for awhile and got an idea how I want to steer my build will keep everyone posted in the mean time.

Enjoy.

 

Pretty much how I got it minus the Fab Four steps, Westin sportsman grill and rear light guards. Ended up painting all of them with duplicolor bedliner. Similar to a matte finish with a hint of gray in there somewhere.

 

Removed the pinstripe

 

Added the hood struts today and started working on fuse block set-up for the light bar up front.

 

I'll do a more indepth write up later on, just mock fitting everything as of now

 

Craigslist UWS hopefully going to get painted black soon. New interior lights

 

Had some help recently got the badges taped and plasti dipped

 

Turned out pretty awesome did (7) coats total over three days. Literally rained the moment I got off work everyday this week.

 

One other goodie showed up from Amazon recently as well. Got the factory roof racks installed as well, buddy of mine helped out huge with the install. We ended up sealing all the nuts pretty well with silicone before the install. No leaks yet

 

Little Sunday Funday

 

Couple more for my lonely ass picture thread that no one looks at but me. Happened to do the Tacoma Outlet replace/displace mod. Bit of forward thinking for future Tuffy security boxes in the future.

 

Haha, since I'm feeling generous.. One more slim Jim for all the kidds

Bolt Mod for the Bed Mat.

 

Haven't updated in a bit, things slowed down near the holidays but here's how it's looking thus far. Got the mounts in for the highlift. Welded a tab on the backside and drilled out to add larger masterlock. Shipment of tuffy security boxes showed up as well. They turned out awesome.

 

Installed the tuffy center console lock box and the Grid-It assessory organizer. Lock box fits a full sized glock 21 upside down with light and multiple mags.

 

I don't see a lot of that color where I'm at. Looks good though.
