    Nice I color matched my Rad red grill myself using some paint I got off Ebay.

    and the paint was from here...

    Good lookin truck man, even better in person.

    Depending on when I'm able to get the grill to you, my truck might look a tad different than when you saw it haha :anonymous:

    thanks buddy. what are you doing to your truck? also do you think this is a good guide to follow as far as painting the surround? http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/300047-color-match-grill.html

    sand -> prime -> paint -> clear yea???

    Yessir that thread follows a perfect process. Just make sure you get even coats across the surround.

    Well I have all of this ordered...

    BDS 6" lift
    35" Toyo MTs
    18" Moto Metal 961s
    Low profile black toolbox

    Then I'm building myself a raptor grill soon and doing a cb setup...and if I have the balls to put my headlights in the oven I'll do the BHLM.

    Needless to say I'm done spending money for a LONG time haha

    I can't wait to have everything installed. Hoping the power loss isn't unbearable with the Toyos though...having the manual should help

    Thanks. There are some orange peel spots but they're not really noticeable.
