Finally got out today

Been waiting a couple weeks for some time to get out and get the new to me tacoma's feet wet. Had a lot of fun with my buddy in his wrangler. Ran around some pits that flooded out and this little spot right by my house that flooded out. I will be going out again next thursday with a couple friends, if anyone's in the tampa area of florida and wants to join shoot me a msg.

Nice truck. I always loved that green color most of all.
Are those the original aluminum wheels painted black?
Lastly, wonder what putting 100lbs+ in the bed would do? your front wheels seemed not to spin at all.

 

That second video i was in 2 dig, truck is actually black lol i thought it was green too when i found it online for sale. Finally yes those are the stocks painted black.

 

And thank you!

 

I thought it was green too lol.

 

I thought so too, what the heck, why does it look so green?? Nice truck though.

 

Green stuff everywhere + reflections = green looking truck

 

How do you paint aluminum like those wheels without it flaking off.
Powder coat?
I likes those wheels...

 

They were like that when i bought the truck, it was done a while ago you can tell but it seems like it's held up decently. I couldn't be for sure but it doesn't look like anything fancier than a rattle can job.

 

Found a good video for painting aluminum wheels.
Basically stripping off the clear coat, roughing the aluminum finish, primer, paint and clear coat...\

Mine is green! And I stripped the wheels then painted them with duplicolor rattle can in 2010, they have held up great with easy touch up!

 

Nice to see single cabs on here once in a while.
