Tacos in St. Louis area

They are sand cast so maybe. I’d think that soda blasting would be less aggressive.

 

Try these guys.

I’d just worry with sand cast alloys having such irregular grain that any aggressive media might screw you over when it comes to wheel balance and whatnot.

 

first time i ever heard of soda blasting!
will need to look into that method further for my trucks needs

 

I used to use a guy out of Bartelso that had a mobile setup that was real slick. Sheet metal doesn’t get hot and warp or come back thinner. It’s not as fast but the results are worth it.

 

i need to see about renting a setup local to me and trying this out under my truck but I may be in over my head!
... not very mechanically inclined

 

The secret is controlling the moisture as humidity plays havoc with it.

 

I'll give them a call during my lunch break

 

Sasquatch, your truck is a 2nd gen, did those come in orange?

 

They didn't. You could get it wrapped though

 

the 2015 TRD Pro did

 

Hmmm, I've seen a few dozen orange running around in the 2nd and 3rd generation, that was over in South /north Carolina area to Tennessee and they were sport and ORs

 

Well I learned something new today

 

Niccccccce

 

That was going to be my next truck, then the third gen came out and I ended up with a 16 inferno

 

I'm going to end up with a orange taco, doesn't matter to me which gen long as its orange

 

I agree with @Shellshock the Inferno is what got me. Also the available weirdo ACLB 6MT on lot in Inferno also helped.....

 

Lol, I don't mind the manual but I'm lazy so auto it is. Plus wife can drive it and not break my baby

 

Wheel bearings just put an end to anymore fun mods this year. Only having one side done at the dealership since, thankfully, one of the outfits in town actually has the tools. But, I get a loaner truck for a day. The hood on this thing is obscene, a lot worse than the 2nd gen imho. Bigger too...this thing barely fits my garage.

 

I had a AT in my 16 and after 18 months I was done with it. I really enjoy the fact that many people can't drive a MT, puts a quick stop to people asking to borrow the truck
