PC3coyote's 2017 Tacoma Build

Thanks! I purchased the blue wheel decals last night! I've been making way too big of a deal of a little decision haha. The Pro wheels look awesome in black or grey, I'd recommend them! They are relatively cheap compared to other options. I have some matte black sliders coated in bedliner spray that I am hoping to install if we can come up with some solutions for the changes from the 2016 to 2017 frame.

 

thumbs up!

 

Updated OP with some pics of the boy. Will have some updated mod photos later today hopefully.

 

Nice ride! I love the blue.

 

Thanks! 4 out of 5 vehicles I've owned have been some shade of blue

 

Updated OP with current photos and pictures of the color-matched center caps!

 

Your truck looks great and similar to what I have been shooting for. I ve been shopping for wheels and curious as to where you bought yours, if you don't mind me asking.

Good choice on the blue..im gonna do that as well.

 

Thanks! I paid $761.88 with no tax and no shipping cost for the KO2 tires from 4WP online shipped and $692.00 plus tax and no shipping for the Pro wheels from my local dealer picked up (pricematched to Toyota of Cool Springs saving $168 by pricematching) I shopped around and this is the best prices I could find. For the wheels, I've have your local Toyota dealer pricematch Toyota of Cool Springs or Olathe whichever is currently cheaper. For the tires, check 4WP or Sears. Sears may be running a deal but it's hard to beat the 4WP price which includes no tax, no shipping, and a rebate on top of it.

 

Thanks for the info and I will certainly take your advice. I sent a few emails off to a couple local dealers here in MD/PA. lets see what they say!!!...I appreciate the help!!

Looking forward to getting these wheels / tires and a Cali Raised Bar...then gotta figure out to do next....haha...

 

Good luck! On my list is get the sliders to work and then a light bar as well. I'm cheap and don't do any crazy offloading so I'll likely do a cheaper light bar like the Mictuning one on Amazon for around $50 with some proper brackets for $50 so that I don't have to drill into the crash bars. I'm sure the quality isn't the same as the Caliraised one but over $150 cheaper!

 

The blue caps really look awesome!

 

Thanks! I'm happy with how it came out. Easy mod, less than $15, and less than 15 minutes to do.

 

Diggin your BBP Taco!!! I just got the bed decals in all black as well but whats the trick to removing the stock bed decals?

 

First, use some blue painters tape to tape off the perimeter so you have a guide to install the new one.

Second, warm it up to help the removal. I used a blow dryer for a minute or two. I didn't want to use my heat gun since I figured that would be too hot and could damage the paint.

Third, start a corner and pull back almost flat to the truck. It should come off pretty easily.

Fourth, use some WD-40 to removal any residue if there is any. Follow that with some kind of cleaner to remove the WD-40, I used some instant detailer followed by a little water and then dried the area well. You want to make sure you have a really clean surface. Any particles of anything will cause the new decal to have bubbles.

Fifth, slowly remove the decal and transfer tape. Apply it starting with a corner and go slowly. Use a credit card to smooth it out over the transfer tape to get any bubbles out. And then remove the transfer tape. Don't be alarmed if there are little micro bubbles. After a week or so the sun will force those out and it should look better.

Sounds painful but should take 30 minutes or less. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Nicely done!
