What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Nevaaa, but youtube is a very helpful tool.

 

Finished making a rack for my 03 taco

Only problem is figuring a better mount system

 

It's easy. Just make sure that whatever you are going to claybar is well lubricated. If you buy a kit it'll come with some bs clay lube shit. I always just put a little extra soap in my sudbucket and used the soapy water to make sure it didnt stick.

Wash truck (get as much crap off as possible before or you'll kill your bar real quick., spray down, then use the soapy water again on the areas you want to hit with the clay bar.

 

Thanks I really appreciate it.

 

WoW!!! That's NICE.Is that a toyota blue?

 

How many times have you painted those wheels?

 

Looking good! Glad you picked black, I didn't care for the grey with your colors.

 

Speaking of waxing I need to get it done soon to hopefully hide this beauty.




I hate detailing so I will likely get it professionally done before the winter. Not sure if it's cheaper to get a pro wax or just hit up maaco for a stupid cheap paint job.

 

And be prepared to at least put some wax or paint sealant on once you're done claying, as the clay will remove any protection that's on there now. The wash-clay-polish-wax routine is pretty easy and quite rewarding.

 

I would not do the Maaco paint job if I were you. Your paint still looks relatively good if it wasn't for the scratch. For the same money you can have that scratch treated and even though it might not go away completely it would probably be better than a Maaco paint job. Just my opinion...

 

I would also steer clear of Maaco or any other cheap paint job. Check out this video and try to find a good, experienced detailer.

 

Yeah that's what I figured. I have seen some detailers do some amazing things.

 

Dude, it's so easy to detail your own.

Wash it.
Clay it.
Polish it.
Wax it...done

It will take you an afternoon at most.

Indeed! May need to use some compound on that scratch, too.
