Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

those bronze SR8s look killer installed! Mine are at the shop right now having tires put on them, can't wait!

 

Thanks I was super excited about how they turned out!

 

Bronze looks great with the blue!

 

Finally got my topper installed, it's a Leer 100XR with the Thule rack, ordered it on December 2nd. I've cleaned my truck bed out way too many times waiting on this thing, but it looks like it arrived just in time.

Thanks I was happy with them! Also pictures don't even do them justice!

 

Great looking set up! I still wish I could have found a long bed. That being said it won't fit in my new driveway so I actually got lucky. You can see I'm right at the end of my fence.

 

Thanks man, those bronze wheels look great. I've thought about it but I was worried it would end up looking like my neighbor's blue WRX with gold wheels. I was going to plastidip the badges/grille/bumper black, but the chrome has grown on me and I'm looking at gunmetal wheels for some Falkens too.

That driveway would make it a tough call for me...ACLB or DCSB so it fits? New house?

 

Haha yea I just bought the house I'm glad I had this build. The house is in my dream location in town and we stole it because it was a smokers house. My previous truck was a long bed Gmc extended cab, So I was lucky i went back to the taco. Its funny you said that about the subaru because I had a similar thought. But these Bronze are so much darker that I think it gives it its own look. I've also gone back and forth on blacking out my stuff I too like the chrome. I've seen a couple of people black out the mirrors and door handles that look pretty good too.

Old truck for comparison:

New truck same driveway (and a trailer):

 

I haven't had any time to take better photos yet. I only think about it when I am walking out to the truck to go to work.

 

Great looking truck! What side steps are you running?

 

Body Armor 4x4

$315 TC-4121 - Black - Steel Large RockStep Side Rail for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab (Pair)

TC-4121 - Black - Steel Large RockStep Side Rail for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab (Pair) They came off of my 2014 Tacoma.

I added a new grill from the limited with the black ring surrounding it. The Toyota emblem will be painted black or maybe blue.

 

Can you get a few shots of these standing with your door open looking down? I am intrigued.

 

I am at work right now so I can`t get to my truck. I will take a few pics this afternoon and put them up for you to see. I bought the rubber step pads also. Go to Amazon and copy and paste the Body Armour info I sent and it will have a few good pics also. I really like them. I have had many complements about them also.

I have a stage III icon lift/levelling kit
HID headlights with LED high beams and LED fog lights
The tonneau cover is from BAK. It is the BAKFlip MX4 which I am very impressed with. No worrying about the tailgate being down to close the cover.
275/70 17 Cooper ST Maxx tires

 

They are very heavy duty, bolt on steps.

 

These look great, I made the mistake of ordering the I boards. All of the pictures made them look fairly flush mounted. This is a picture of one side they hung way too low now I need to try and sell them. Should have went with these they look perfect.

 

Yes I wanted to stay away from the steps that hang down, the Armour ones don't so I am very happy with them.

 

Before the lift and tires

 

Yea those are definitely the way to go! Thanks for sharing.

 

It looks pretty cool. I def like the color matched back plate, but I'm not convinced these grills go with the natural lines of the truck. They looks a little out of place to me. It's certainly better than the stock tho!
