Inferno Thread

Not to butt in, but Caliraised now makes a mount for the back of our trucks

This is my top choice for the moment since it'll definitely work on my truck. I just feel like having the antenna by the back of the cab will get it further out of the way but, have the chance of whacking/scratching the cab too. Not sure if having it at the back corner will get annoying while using the bed normally. Thanks for the link though

 

HellBoy...

My wife texted me this morning and asked why I'd left "Hell Boy" at home today. I thought about it and asked "Which is it today, Bentley or Treasure, because Finch is always a good boy". Those are the three male dogs we have and I figured one of them was being an a-hole.

She says, "no, your truck". I respond with, "Ah, just felt driving the other today".

Then I get this pic, and she's right! Not a bad color match depending on the sunlight. I guess we have a new name for my Inferno OR.

 

I used

$12 WORKMAN RV1 CB RADIO ANTENNA SINGLE GROOVE MIRROR MOUNT W/ SO239 STUD

on one of the small rails of my load warrior rack. going to be honest, it's a little janky, and I'm looking for a better mount too, but it ain't broke yet, so I don't need to fix it.
my buddies is mounted on his prinsu

 

I FINALLY just gave her her first real bath today after work. She's been washed twice at the dealer since I bought her, but they do a shitty job. She looks so pretty and bright out in the sun Lol!


The white 1st gen in the street is mine too

 

Nice!

 

No matter the light, it always looks great.

 

Sometimes even no light.......

 

Just gotta keep teasing me with that hood.........
One day I WILL have one of those.

Looks GREAT though!!!!

 

Thanks. I've been thinking about adding that Pro vinyl kit. Don't need it, just like it.

 

Love those wheels !

 

Thanks, they are special.

I just ordered a OEM roof rack so as soon as I get that installed it will be time for some new pics. I am gonna find some places that really compliment the truck other than my damn driveway for a change. I live near the Susquehanna and there are tons of places. I'll dust off the old DSLR for a change and do it right.

 

Need some sunglasses to look at the last page! I can't believe yesterday was my first time washing my new truck lol. It has had a layer of dust on it for a few months now, just been too busy to wash it. Now that it's clean again it reminded me of the first week after I bought it. Made me realize (again) just how awesome this color really is!

Only thing that sucks is trying to wash it when the sun is out. I know you're not really supposed to, but yesterday after work was the best time for me to do it currently. No matter how fast I tried to dry it, I could not escape some water spots left on the paint. This is my first time having a non-white truck so I guess I didn't realize just how much the water spots would show up. Next wash, DEFINITELY will be when the sun is going down

 

Oh yeah, @RobP62, I bought that chemical guys miracle dryer towel that is linked on the bottom of this page. I gotta say I was not all that impressed. Is there some secret that I don't know about how to use it? Haha, I dried my sunroof, the rest of the roof, and it was basically useless for the rest of the truck. I was assuming you could use the towel for the entire truck. Anyways, before I bought that one I bought one from Wal-Mart a couple months ago that I ended up using after the chemical guys one was soaked. The Wal-Mart one worked really good. I'm gonna buy another one I think

 

I think I may need to do this to mine as well. I glanced under my truck real quick yesterday and could see some unplugged holes on the control arms. My question is, how do you know exactly which holes to plug and which ones not to? Seemed like there were different sized holes under there

 

Sorry, been off the page for a little while. Yes, it was VERY easy to remove.

 

Nice! I got my plugs through the dealer due to the TSB last year, but I did not remove my lower air dam yet. I'm glad to hear that the plugs do work after the air dam is removed. I just might take mine off soon now. Thanks for replying!

 

which topper is that?
is that the SOS streamline or SSO slim bumper? really considering one....

 

This Toyota service bullitin shows exactly where the 3 plugs go per side on LCA.

 

All you guys with your clean trucks and I'm just over here like
