azchris's 2011 TRD Off Road Build

Yep, just got back less than a week ago, had to move everything down here since my new lease in Tempe doesn't start till August 1st

 

Ive been here for two weeks, but im still gonna pay rent for my Apt through the summer

 

What kind of camera do you have? What program for colors? The pictures look amazing!

 

Sick truck btw.

 

Didn't get your message for some reason. For the good pics I'm using a Nikon D5000 and I use a combination of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Photomatix (for HDR). The others are just taken with my phone. Thanks

Well today I got the flat tire mod Somebody left a huge stake thing in the road that I didn't see, and it flattened my tire almost instantly.

Blacked out the badges with Duplicolor Shadow, there's a thread about it here:

Thanks! Unfortunately I'm looking at another month in Yuma until I get back to school

Originally these were getting powdercoated to fix some gouges that a tire shop put in them. Unfortunately, the powdercoat shop did a pretty terrible job, so a friend made me some paint that is mostly clear coat and black+gold pearl and sprayed over the sanded powdercoat, so it was a body-shop-quality job with hardener and everything





Next thing on the list is debadging the doors (which I've been meaning to do for awhile) and a front-to-back detail job.

 

Trucks looking good so far man.
