The New Look

shhweet!!! bad ass badges n camo trailer hitch

 

Damn! That girl's pretty cute.

How did you go about painting the red line? Did you mask off the rest? Or did you paint the red first?

And what equipment are you using for the strobes?

 

Yeah its at Jekyll lol. We spent Thanksgiving there. Search for my screen name I had a thread a while back bout the strobes and the one in the scoop. I'll try and get some night shots though.

 

Yep thats me lol.

 

Dang sure does man! Just come down here to God's country and find you one too lol.

 

Heard that! Ur one of the 2 people on here so far that know where I live lol. Might have to have a south GA meetup one day.

 

Yep just gotta make sure your wheels have a 4.5" backspacing. I rub on the cab mount just a touch in reverse at full lock and on the little plastic bumps that hang down off the front of the inner fender when i'm full lock and hit a big bump but other than that no problems.

 

Thanks man. I painted the entire badge red first then cut down some green autobody tape to I think 7/16th's of a inch so it would be the exact width of the openings in the a's and the o's in Tacoma. Shot it with 3 quick light coats of Duplicolor Perfect Match and peeled the tape while it was still wet. Pullin it while its still wet is kinda the key to not having a big noticable edge where the color changes. With it wet the edge lays back down after u peel it. And as far as the strobes I've got a Whelen 6 position power pack in the drivers side rear storage compartment. Also a 6" LED bar in the scoop. Gonna get a 8 position soon so I can run red strobes the the fogs.

 

Excellent job, neighbor (I'm in Bama, BTW)
And the detail on what all you did and have everything set at helps for a guy like me running stock height and looking into the lift/wheels/tires project. Very much appreciated! Very nice ride...
And your little lady there looks like a real Sweetheart too !

 

Next time DRILL!!!

 

No problem man. Go ahead and jump into it! Be forewarned though. Once you stop you can't start lol.

 

I absolutely refuse to drill a hole in my roof! Its just not right lol. She may be a 07 but she still new to me. I don't particularly like the look of em on my roof anyway. Plus for some odd reason I actually transmit/recieve further with it on my box. Somethin to do with ground plane. But to each his own.

 

The last picture is the sharpest, really brings out all of the hottness. The other pictures are nice too.

Read through the thread and I also refuse to drill holes in my 07

 

Yeah i think I might get my man card revoked cause I would have to cry if i drilled in it.

 

LOOKS GREAT!! I like the stance. I gotta get some billies on mine. Wheels and tires look sick!!!!

 

Thats why I don't even put myself in that position. But in all honesty with the body damage I have all down the pass. side, front and rear bumpers I don't see where I could harm it anymore.

 

Thanks!

U put a dent in ur truck! What were you thinking? Just kiddin, I got a couple door dings myself that piss me off every time I see em. I just can't voluntarily put a hole in it yet lol.

 

very nice !!!

 

Red strobes would be sick. Do you use your truck on duty calls? Or is this all just for looks?

 

I use it when we go out on calls for the volunteer dept im on where I live at but no not for calls on Augusta FD. You get in big trouble i've found.
