Cavalry Blue Thread: Post them up!

What kind of tires are those? I like them. Can't tell if they are Nitto G2's or Toyo ATII or Pro Comps....or?

 

Hit the lakes

 

The tailgate lettering is actually nice quality shaped metal letters. Looks alright after removing all other stock emblems and stickers.

Okay man, this is beautiful. Is your front emblem protected my a garnish, and if so, how did you access it to apply the vinyl? I've just derped my chrome bezel black today and would love nothing more than the achieve what you've done with the cav blue matching logo.

 

Thanks! Just get Rustoleum Taillight tint/paint, mask off the whole oval Toyota emblem, spray a few coats over the emblem until its a smoky color (I did like 2 or 3 coats), wait for it to dry, clear coat it, then apply the vinyl over the oval to cover the emblem. The vinyl is VERY close to the same size of the chrome one below it. I got it from ebay. Ill post the link.

 

@nolemister , not the EXACT same color as our Cavalry Blue, but damn close! I ordered the 8" one and just didn't use the TOYOTA words.

appreciate your response. Okay that makes sense. Just to be clear however, you applied the vinyl to the glass oval that separates the emblem from the outside elements? Or do you not have a glass cover over your emblem?

for more clarity, here's a screenshot of what I have. following your example, I wouldn't be able to apply the vinyl directly to the emblem, but on top of the glass.




Thanks for the link as well.

 

Correct, it’s on top of the plastic oval, not under it. Hope these photos help.

 

These are wildpeak!

 

Did the BHL (black headlight) mod yesterday. It was my 1st time doing this, but came out pretty well!! I used Krylon Fusion Satin Black paint & smoked the orange reflectors with taillight paint. The reflectors look black during the day, but at night, with the lights on, you can see the amber showing through. I love the black headlight look, so much meaner & aggressive.

 

That the OEM grille trim? Part #

52711-04010? Compatiblity says 16-18 but nothing's changed on the 19 right?

Would rather do this instead of the TRD Pro Grille. I feel that everyone and their mother has it.

 

Yes on compatible for 2019. Purchased here, price was <$100 at the time.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply. Local dealer has them for $86. Getting my order in today.

 

How are you liking your Access Cab, any regrets?

Happy with mine, like the long bed and how the doors open suicide style to create a "changing room". No need for me to have >1 passenger + dog. Not happy that the rear door windows are not operable and we don't get a power rear window.

 

I love it. Fits my needs. Wanted the extra bed space, no need for a back seat.

 

Anybody got pics of a LEER (/e or is it ARE?) topper with OTR coating on a cav blue? Thinking about going that route over paint matching since black looks so good with it.

Also if I ever decided to sell the topper it'd be easier to get rid of a black topper.

 

Nothing special ... just my 2¢...Stock Sport Premium/Tech....Pro Grill and Raptor lights is all...Decals and Emblems stay. Rims and tires stay and no lift. Build date 4/19. No band-aid for the TSS. The chin strap stays too. That leaves about 10% of us that likes it...

 

Loved the Color in the Toyota brochure go to the Dealer and looked at it in the lot and it was a bit of a let down. I love blue but it did not have the wow factor for me so I bought a boring black one.
