    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    My red ‘84 had white wheels. I love it! Good job!

    Are those separate black center caps or did you paint/plasti-dip the center part black?

    Your vision for your truck is fantastic! Not my cup of tea, but I do respect you making your truck unique to you with a throwback to yesteryear.

    So the fifteen52 wheels come with white centercaps but I reached out to them and asked if they would replace it with black ones instead and they sent me an extra set. Wanted it to look more like steelies that way, and break up the white a little.

    Removed some stuff, added some stuff.
    A guy I work with has a 3rd gen 4Runner with those wheels paint matched to his rig. Nice wheels, definitely works for the retro look. Never thought of putting them on a 3rd gen taco though

    I love it!

    Where'd you get the sticker that's on your back windshield? I may have to add that to my sticker collection under the tonneau cover.

    I was thinking to follow the 80’s theme she needs an ac/dc or Metallica sticker in the back window.

    I hadn’t been a fan of that blue color, but looks great with the retro decor. Planning a retro myself and kinda wish I had something other than boring white. Sweet ride man !

    I like this truck better than the 40th Anniversary 4Runner.
