Plasti-dipped the emblems gunmetal and full front grill and emblem in flat black. Debating on doing the lower trim under the license plate flat black as well. Let me know what you guys think!

 

Looks good! I painted my lower bumper valance with satin black Krylon Fusion. It looks so much better now, but it's a PITA to remove it. The only reason why I removed it is because of the light bar behind it, otherwise I would've taped everything off and just painted it on the truck.

 

Just got my new wheels shipped in. Enkei RPT1 16x8 0 offset in titanium gold. Pairing with my mgm tacoma. Can’t put on for another month but just excited to get them shipped in.

 

Time for a frame pull and after market bumper haha

 

Got them installed.

 

Upgraded my tweeters. Always a good day when you can bust out the Dremel.

 

Prevents water getting in the diff if you ever drive through deep water

 

To clarify, it prevents your diff acting like a vacuum and pulling in water through the clamshell when you're in high water for any amount of time other than "just passing through a deep puddle for a second"

Part of the mod is also replacing the breather from a one way to a two way. The one way breather means that it would push out hot air from the diff while the water is cooling the clam shell, creating an environment in which water intrusion is HIGHLY LIKELY because it's under negative pressure. The two way breather means it actually has a chance to expel hot air while letting in cool air to adjust the environment without vacuum. That's also why you're adding the long hose, because you go from something that shouldn't allow water to enter to something that definitely would allow it, if you didn't have it sealed and rerouted.

 

About $30 less than Weathertechs for a full set.

 

Thanks. Yours looks awesome! Yeah I was debating on paint. I’ll dip it and see what she looks like!
