Looking good.

 

Doing the barrels in black was a great idea...lets the front "float" for lack of a better term

 

Yeah, those came out quite nice looking!

 

Yeah that's the effect I'm hoping for.... And hiding filth.

 

For those of you with 2012 to 2015 tacomas, anybody happen to have the stock fog light trim pieces and or partially destroyed bumper? Looking to possibly build my steel bumper fog light mounts

 

I have no idea if this helps but I have the unused fog inserts from my ARB. I can take some tracings of the openings on the ARB too.

 

I used some similar hammered finish on my wheels, but in copper.

I completely agree that to make it have a really hammered finish you need to really lay paint down thick.

I did something like 5 light coats, but coats made much less difference than "saturation".

 

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind but unfortunately won't work with my fogs.

 

Drove up to Hudson NH just now for my alignment appointment and saw this sick RHD 80 series on 3, lifted on 37s at least. And then I get to the shop and there's 2 5th gen T4Rs, one of them looks like long travel with 35s.....droolfest today haha

 

Didn't get one of the cruiser but I will definitely grab some on the way out haha

 

What shop you at?

 

Zaks auto

 

I expect a full review

 

Oh you'll definitely be getting one, right off the DW highway like 10 minutes from you

 

Nice. I got a buddy that works at Wicked Cas but I don't think they have an alignment machine. They're huge toyota guys over there

 

Yeah a buddy of mine recommended this place cuz the dude doing my truck now is a toyota master tech and knows how to align our stuff and set SPCs. They're pricey but I know it'll get done correctly at least

 

Nice nothing wrong with that

 

If I wanted cheap repair bills I'd ride my bicycle.

One of the things that comes with owning these things

 

Oh I know. I'm looking at bare minimum $1200 just in parts to do my head gasket. Doesn't include tools I'll also need to purchase
