Blazing Blue Pearl Thread

2016 and paint still holding up pretty well in my opinion. In Georgia.

 

I'm in Colorado and park outside my paint is still in great condition. Other than rock chips of course but I wax it twice a year. Once into he spring and once before winter with turtle wax ceramic.

 

I would definitely check car-part.com

make sure to look at photos and then call the junkyards for pricing.

 

Just got this '18. Not sure if it's a TRD/Sport/? 86k miles, 6-speed, excellent condition. No rust.

 

Great find! Looks really nice!

This site will give you lots of info on your truck using your VIN.

Nice. Based on the hood. You have a TRD Sport.

 

Thanks. I checked another VIN site and it said for Trim-'SR/SR5/TRD Off Road/Pro/Sport". ?? Ok, which one? All the above? lol

 

Not sure if you handled this but from the pic, I dont see a need to replace it....
Sand it down....
Add very slight about of body filler if needed & sand smooth...
Get bumper repainted....

Assuming the bumper youre looking at aren't already painted to match???
That scuffing is minimal & can easily be cleaned up & repainted.

 

Do you have crawl control and multi-terrain knobs in your headliner at the windshield? If yes, then looks like a Pro, since you have the hood scoop. If no, then you have a sport.

Edit: But you don't have a Pro grill, so maybe an Off Road if you have crawl control and multi-terrain.

 

No crawl control or multi-terrain knobs. Appreciate the info!

 

Just noticed in your original post that you have a manual, so no CC or MTS. They are on automatics only. Looks like you have a sport.

 

Yep, taken care of. Hit the easy button with a pair off Amazon.

I do appreciate and agree with that it's fixable, but, given current time constraints the easier button was an amazon replacement even tho it's not quite perfect.

I am keeping the old ones and in time may see what happens with a sand, fill/smooth and paint.

Thanks and appreciate the reassurance the old ones are fixable.

 

Greetings! This is my first post here, but been lurking for a while . I got my 2017 Sport about a year ago and absolutely love it! Glad to see the positive feedback on bronze rims with this color, I thought I was the only one enamored with this. Got an OTT tune in a week. Next substantial upgrade will be a front bumper/bull bar to even put the steel bumper on the back. Glad to be part of the Taco family! Cheers!

 

Nice truck!

Welcome to Taco ownership. The fun is just beginning!

 

Nice rig!

 

I don't think there is a better color than BBP! 2016 and still cleans up beautifully in my opinion. 9 years and 142k later I still look back at her when I park somewhere!

 

I agree! No better color!

And I do the same thing admiring my 2017. My wife has always said there is no other color to have!
