    6" ProComp lift.

    Powder-coated white from a awesome powder-coating specialist in Chattanooga TN. If you need anything powder-coated hit them up at http://www.precisionpowdercoatings.net/

    picture quality is pretty bad but the lift is painted to match the OEM factory paint code.:thumbsup:

    LOTS going on today!

    A big problem I found with the tacoma is the road noise (kinda ridiculous how they don't put any sort of deadener in it)
    I have taken the door panels off, currently prepping for the dynamat sound deadener that I am installing. I am trying to figure out if I should install two layers of just one.

    I was looking around and found (Black 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber DINOC Flex Wrap CA-421 24"x12") vinyl wrap. So why not wrap the boring trim pieces on the truck while everything is already apart? I am also doing the middle piece, but it is hard to get absolutely perfect so it might take me awhile. No lie it is way way better. /-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-:alien:-\

    Dirt king UCA came in and they are sick! The difference from the factory ones is shocking. Now they are off to powdercoating :humble:71B0A4F7-0747-4EB8-92B5-4CBB26D44AAA.jpg

    They will be the same white as the lift kit (paint to match) is always the way to go. :turtleride:
