Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

Every time i am in this thread it makes me want a BBP Truck. By far the best color for a Taco

 

Right on.
Any opinions on mine?

 

As for the lift, the only thing I'd say is spend the extra money and get the Dakar leaf pack. I haven't had the HS 3 leaf AAL long enough, but I've heard they will start to flatten out. I've heard good things about the 5100s when paired with the OME springs. The only thing I don't like about the OME nitrocharger shocks is that they clunk when bottoming out, which can happen pretty easily when driving over uneven terrain at anything over 15-20 mph.

As for the tire size, I haven't done enough research into 18" rims and the max tire sizes for that rim. But I would recommend getting some aftermarket UCAs so that there is more room for caster adjustment; that will help move the tire a little forward or backward depending on where it will rub and get your alignment into spec. My tires are 33.1" if you do the size conversion, but I haven't actually measured them to check. I also have 1.25" wheel spacers that push out the wheels so it might rub more if I didn't have those. I don't rub during normal driving - that mainly happens when I'm braking hard and turning at the same time, or if I reverse and turn fairly quickly. I haven't taken it hard wheeling where I'm stuffing the tires, but I'm sure there will be some rubbing there. I'll eventually get around to trimming the fender well and doing a CMC if needed, but the rubbing hasn't been frequent enough to warrant that.

Hope that helps!

 

Is that your T-28B ?

 

Lol - Yes, but I will put it in a little more perspective... The MX4 cover was installed so I could haul my 'toys' around...

 

Originally, I had no intention of buying a blue truck... Until I saw this blue color... Love the BBP... I will admit that I am on the fence with the chrome grill...

 

I used to fly a 3 meter glider with a .049 engine on top ... not as cool as your airplane but I had a lot of fun flying, crashing, and repairing.

 

Finally got some new wheels and tires for my baby. Icon rebound wheels and 275/70/17 K02s

 

Nothin too much but put some decals on the truck today.

 

Thanks man! Now with the new wheels I’ll be a bit timid off road haha

 

Nah, they will clean right up. Go out and enjoy that beautiful rig!

 

nice wheels! I like the white lettering out too. Although some may not.

 

nice bumper , you make it ?

 

Wow that looks great with the black wheels!

 

I ditched the TRD stickers, pinstripes, badges, and chrome tube steps.

 

BBP looks amazing! Has anyone seen a 2018 Sport in BBP yet? I'm seeing everything but a Sport here & dealership lots

 

BBP Sport, dblcb is what I’ll be getting rather soon. Stay tuned...

 

Grill swap. Also pulled the silver bezel off the fogs. Next some new mirror caps, and all black fog surrounds. Yes, I’m slowly making a Limited look like a Sport.
