sweet ride man.

I think i read that you didnt like the white letter tires.......I think they look great!

 

X2 I like the white letters out its different from everyone else. And how you like those tires?

 

I'm loving the tires. I'm OK right now with the white lettering out. I may leave it. Kinda paranoid to try and black them out and then have it not look right.

 

Just keep them and see if they grow on to you. It brakes up all the black and looks sick. Love your truck man!

 

Thanks dude. I'm definitely taking that into consideration.

done!

 

Thank You!!!

 

Nice looking truck man!

I am getting my 2nd Generation Badges in soon...
What did you do to paint them?
I am thinking about a light sand, adhesion promotor, then Kyrlon Fusion Black paint.
Thanks.

 

I painted all his badges! Dont sand or any of that shit just clean with soap ans water then find the cheapest paint at wallmart and spray them with like 10 coats! Works and looks great!

 

I tried with a set of throw away badges but it seemed to just peel right off. Did you use clearcoat? Thanks.

 

J's has been on forever and has had no problems! Mite be the paint your using or mite be to cold it was like 90 when we painted his and we did a shit load more the same ways soap and water wipe clean and paint! He never came off!

 

Yeah, make sure they are really clean! If the paint is not adhering, try another. There is a spray paint made specifically for plastics I believe from Krylon. In my case we used that cheap flat black Wal Mart paint (which I have a back up 2nd can for touch ups when needed). I have been through several car washes with NO problems. Just paint them evenly with like 10 coats as Murdered mentioned in the previous post.

 

hey i was wondering cant you flip your tire around so the , what is now the inside, is on the outside and therefor have black out not white lettering?

is this an option? i belive the duratrac is a multi directional tire

 

Look at the tread. It's different on the inside. It's symmetrical and they have to be white out.

 

good lookin truck.
tires are super beefy

 

I dig it!!! Thanx!

 

Nice truck man...Ive been thinking of blacking out my badges as well and getting rid of the chrome on my truck. U inspire me!!

 

Nice truck man! Another idea...I got rid of the chrome grille and ordered a black one for like $80, painted Toyota emblem and e-bayed black marker lights. I went a step further and moved blinkers into marker lights and chopped the air dam.

 

Whoa! Lookin' good!!!
