Nice truck and build Dereck!

 

Thanks buddy! Let's see yours

Keeping it real Ron!

 

Starting to keep tabs on what's been replaced
Starter @ 182,xxx

 

Well this tranny blows






Just logging this in here, as it is gonna be replaced anyways with the 4wd variant a340F.

 

Got the rock sliders up the other day. Bring it on grocery door swingers!

 

lookin good buddy!

 

A/c compressor was replaced at 183,xxx

 

Got my mtr's rotated and rebalanced 184,3xx

 

Since then the tranny hasn't leaked for the past couple weeks, so saved me a couple Benjamin's.

 

Me and the chick did some camping with the CVT Shasta finally up

 

And here's today's new look, with the expo setup finally out. Thanks @Tracy@All-Pro Off Road for the rack which has held up and @Cascadia Tents for the Shasta from the past group buy

 

I love the bumper match! Id like to do that to my rig. How did you get it to match so well? Color codes?

 

Oh! Also on the transmission. Id recommend modifying it to hold the power from the s/c. I did that to mine when I had it rebuilt and I feel it runs a lot better and I have no leaks so far!

 

Thanks! I assume you're talking about the grille. I'd do the bumper too if I didn't plan on getting a plate bumper haha.
Anyways there should be a color code inside the driver door on the side. I used duplicolor perfect match rattle cans along with their clear coat. I'm also a detailer so the tricky part is wet sanding after the final coat to remove the "orange peel" if you got any specific questions just ask me.

 

hell yeah man! looks awesome!!

 

haha yea I was talking about the grille sorry about that I hate the chrome on mine Id like to match the grille and the bumper to the color of my truck. I think its a super white. I was also told that Toyota in 01 didn't use a clear coat so im not sure if I will need clear coat, but I could be wrong haha oh and I appreciate the advice bro.

 

Yeah I'm aware of the valve body upgrade, I'm converting my truck to 4wd so I'll be switching transmissions anyways, the problem with that is sending the tranny to get it done so I'd be down without the truck. Speaking of which @Moose1988 vv is one of the few who has the tranny upgrade (2nd gen) and I'm sure it's all worth it.

Moose in the house! Whaddup

Yeah let me look through my gallery for the list of color codes for ya.
But I would clear coat it if I were you to protect the paint - it won't come out right as a single stage paint job and being in the front it'll be more susceptible to rock chips and such. I also forgot to mention since its chrome you need to REALLY sand it down, preferably in cross patterns otherwise it'll be hard for the paint to stick to it.
