3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

Track down a matte red and do somthing truly different.

 

I've been trying to, all I've found are KMC red cast wheels. I like these SCS ones because they're flow-formed: stronger and lighter

 

Custom paint or even try contacting scs. I got lucky and found a limited colour run on my t8's never know what they will do or what they may have in the works.
Modco wheels on here has some nice wheels and it looks like they do custom colours

 

Overcast MGM

 

It goes well on MGM in my opinion.

 

Went to a nearby city park to take my morning meetings, walking back up to the truck just liked the way it looked

 

Just got a RAV4 in this color. Way nicer than I thought it would be - and I really like the rainbow effect in bright sunlight.

 

My 2021 sport 4x4. I purchased new. Eibach pro kit suspension. I have new JBA control arms, body armor bumper and high clearance wings, Ironman rear leaf springs. Lightbars auxbeam switch box.

 

Beautiful day out there

 

Bought in August 2020

 

The ultimate mod. Congrats.

Wife and I have been 100% debt free for 2 years now.... not hating it, LOL. Not saying it to brag.... but to encourage.

 

To be 100% truthful! I'm jealous! Right now we have our house payment and her sienna payment.

 

Your one step closer. Take what you were paying on your truck and pay that on the Sienna(or the house).

 

Can't believe I've been rocking the 3G Mag Grey since 2023 and never saw this thread or posted up. I could have sworn I did... Oh well.

To answer the Q - I love the look of the bronze wheels. Has a nice nostalgia. Wife hates it and thinks they look like a pimp truck. And as cool as they are, I have a feeling it is going to be VERY dated in about 5 years.

But I think I have a solution - Smokey Bronze. Kind of a muted looking bronze color that fits the subtle understated masculine strength of the Magnetic Grey.

Image for color reference. It's called Dark Bronze, Smkoey Bronze, Muted Bronze, Matte Bronze all depending on the manufacturer and the levels of dark, smokey, mute all vary from company to company.

 

Actually it's going straight into savings. I had the payments set-up to pay each payday. The credit union would take half each payday put it in my account. Now it will just stay in the savings.
I won't even know it's there. Lol

 

Congrats again on the paid off truck.

 

Very smart of you. I used to do that when I got pay increases. I would have whatever the increase was and have it transferred right into savings.

 

I did the same to get out of debt(assuming emergency fund is in place).... once dept free, then savings.

 

Good idea too. It's really easy to stash away income that you are not used to having, like pay raises or continuing car payments after they are paid off, but it's really difficult to try and put that money away once you get used to having it. A wise man once told me to put the maximum allowed into my retirement account when I was in my mid 20s. I followed his advise and now I can retire 10 years early because I followed that advise. I know a lot of folks my age that will have to work the rest of their lives because they never put anything away and Social Security does not cover the monthly bills. Ahhh, the musings of an old man! LOL
