Meso 3rd gen brake light with Baja designs rock lights
3 reds 2 whites

hopefully I’ll get this on when the truck is under a roof of some sort

Truck is back in the driveway (in Cali)

hopefully gonna work on getting the damaged wrap off
Body panels off
Bed off and interior out


If anyone is in the market for a camo 1 of 1 PRP seat I’ll be selling mine shortly to install the new seats

 

I never caught what happened to the wrap/paint, if you mentioned it?

 

Seen some issues with the Baja designs lights going out
And the KC lights cracking
Both have cons but I dig the design and don’t mind replacing the lights if they fail so it’s a win for me

 

I’m trying to remember but I think rigid has some decent rock lights that are cheaper than bd, but probably still more than the kc ones.

 

The lights go into a 3d printed housing
Either for KC or BD lights
It’s to replace the shitty Tacoma 3rd brake light that leaks

 

Oh I know which one you are talking about, I thought you meant for the undercarriage. I almost got that for my third brake light.

 

Selling my 30” light bars off the taco

afraid if I leave them in the truck they will either get stolen or damaged so I’d rather get them sold while they are still in great condition

Happy Bday Bro!

 

Thank you!!!

 

The day this truck is driving back to Kentucky I’ll pop the top on this to put a close on all of this drama rebuild

 

Well
Good news bad news today

good news
Finally had a detail guy with integrity who came and removed the wrap from the cab of the truck for only 350$

bad news

now I can see how bad my paint is messed up from the UV damaged/baked on wrap

my roof is gonna need a whole repaint
And so is my door handles
And to be honest
Maybe more. I stopped looking at a certain point.

oh and I may not have anywhere to live anymore in April so that’s cool

here’s the pictures


Day 1


Day two

 

I kinda dig the new look. Silver Sky is my fave silver, now it's MadMax Patina Sky (tm)!!!!

 

Also, no one with a Tacoma is homeless, just get you a RTT

 

My truck gets cut in half next week
No pulling out on that

and that patina your talking about also includes missing paint and bare metal

and can’t really chill in a truck at night in this part of California without cops coming to talk to you
Not like it’ll be parked in a personal driveway anymore

 

Thank you for trying to see the bright side of this for me.

 

Planning on leaving the mold/moss on the exterior of mine
