Anthony's 99 Tacoma

All Painted. Got setup with Rugged Intercom for three people. A third new PRP seat in rear. Going to color tint bedline the bedsides to protect paint. And possibly 5.29 gears.

 

What color tint bed liner are you going to use for your bedsides - I have to paint my truck and I'm looking at raptor liner diy kits atm?

 

I bought the "tintable" color yes the Raptor one four bottle kit. I ended up only using one bottle for the bedsides. And I had some basecoat of the actual color code of the truck.

 

Thanks man. How do you like it? I'm planning on going brown / tan since it's going to be harder to wash I think, but I'd like to go something more exciting depending on how easily dirt comes off of it... what paint did you mix in - oem color?

 

I like it a lot. Color is not an exact match since the bedliner was white and You only put a little bit of color and it thins the color but its good stuff. OEM color. Gonna have to do it again, I rolled my truck on its side. lol

 

Pic of damage?

 

What happened?!

Dang looks like that could have been way worse! Did you get speed wobbles? Was the body damage the only damage? Can't see what made you roll? Did you push it back over and drive away?

 

I just had started offroading chasing my buddy in his truck I was changing lines to the lane I crashed into, I came from the right side in the photo and turned into it fast and in the picture I came off a large ledge and it was sandy and the bottom and luckily landed it on its side instead of rolling. All body damage which sucks but no major damage I drove it home. Cage safety was sure there and kept my passenger and I safe. Broke a window , fender and bedside are trash pretty much, broke side mirror, and dented the cab.

 

Another update , the truck is setup with 5.29 gears,TRD limited slip. And purchased a used Black Trd Supercharger.

 

So are you doing any bodywork or leaving it as is? Congrats on the supercharger!

 

I pushed the big dents out, gonna have someone off craigslist come and fix them even better so I will repaint the cab. Unless I can get some dent removal tools. Thanks! Gonna rebuild it slowly and find a 7th injector kit.

 

I did my first body work here:

I used a screw screwed into the holes to pull out the dents after sticking it through some water heater strap to get a good grip on pulling it. I have a complete set of body work shaping tools if you're interested in using them - I'm not even close on my truck for body work yet.

I have some dents in the cab similar to yours in my first gen. I'm gonna pull them using the same method depending on how well I can get at them from the back - the second gens have an inner skin that won't let you bang it out from the inside. The previous owner scraped across a tree.

 

Legit

 

Looks good, I wanna fix it but without holes.

 

PDR then - those guys are wizards. It's worth it since your truck is basically in new condition besides that stuff!

 

Hey man I read in another forum that you used to run j59 deavers I was wondering how much travel were you pulling if that was true?

 

Yeah I was it was around 11" or so. It was fun. I had air bumps in the back so that helped from harsh bottoming out.
