Cavalry Blue Thread: Post them up!

Maybe I should set up a Patreon.

 

Yes!

 

I think if I was going to go through the effort of changing my grill I'd change it to a TRD PRO one, but I like my 2019 honeycomb haha

 

I found a cheap 2020 grill locally and think it looks awesome- I don’t mind the pro grill, but feel like it’s gotten a bit too popular. I blacked out the stock wheels, emblems, and bumper and think it’s looking pretty good!

 

Do you have more pics of your truck that show your wheels a bit more?

 

Not really- it only gets taken out of the garage about twice a month since I switched to work from home mode. It’s one of the decal kits- kind of a pain to install, but cheap and reversible. When it’s time for tires, I’ll probably get new rims but the way I’m putting on miles that’ll be a while!

 

The 2020 grille looks good on a cav blue. I might have to do that myself.

 

Thanks for the pic! This color really should've been availale for 2020.

 

I got my close out 2019 OR for a sweet deal when the 2020s were hitting the lot- the color (and the significant discount) sealed the deal on not getting the 2020 upgrades like the seat and CarPlay.

 

Yeah the seat and CarPlay sound nice but I'd also go with the discount and sweet color. You can't do much about the seat but you could always go for an aftermarket headunit, some of which seem even better than the 2020 OEM ones.

 

i think that color combo will look pretty great

 

It really does look different depending on the lighting. I get tons of compliments on the color.

 

Derped the ole door handles. I’ll eventually replace them with black probably since I like how it looks.

 

Well, I joined the Cav. blue club yesterday. I wasn't sure about the color just seeing it in pictures because I thought it looked kinda...I don't know, bland I guess. Once I laid eyes on it though I was sold and I'm really liking it.

 

It’s a beautiful color and looks different in depending on the light. Congrats!

 

The chrome and wheels make it a bit bland, but once you start blacking it out a bit, man does it look bad ass. I get compliments daily on mine! I attached my before and after photos. HUGE difference.

Doing my suspension lift this weekend with the awesome @Bigdaddy4760 and @Beef Nachos! I will post updated photos once done.

Hit my 1 year of ownership and 30k miles the other day. Here's some day 1 pics vs now..

 

I decided to paint my TRD off road emblems. I didn’t like the silver TRD and red off road lettering. I always thought the TRD should be red. I’m not a professional painter or airbrush person. I just used spray paint from Home Depot and I bought the Calvary Blue spray paint from a automotive paint co. I think it came out ok. I’m not sure how it will hold up to the elements? I did use a adhesion promoter and a clear coat.

 

I didn't know what the original looked like. When I first looked at yours it was clear that you painted "Off-Road" but I thought the TRD was stock. I think your design looks more "stock" and I think you did a great job with the execution! I wouldn't have chosen to paint match "Off-Road" with the body paint myself (it's a little too match-y) but it's still a really good look.
