Lets see pics of Desert Mica with blacked out chrome and custom wheels!!!

Lets see those old man gold Toyotas, I need ideas

 

Ew, who blacks out chrome?

 

Still not worse than a paw paw cap Shifty! Haha

 

I dunno, sounds like Friday Poll material if you ask me...

 

Heading to the jelly roll, struggle Jennings concert tonight. Thread officially hijacked. Happy Friday boys!

 

Hey all been lurking since I bought my 05 DC a little over a year ago. Great forum lots of good info and good people here it seems. Anyways here is a pic of my desert sand which I blacked out the grille inserts, mirror caps, emblems etc.

 

That actually looks really good.
Question . . . How did you black out those mirror caps ? Paint? . . . Vinyl? . . . ???

 

Looks really nice !

 

Here’s mine. Gonna be up for sale soon. Finishing up some front suspension work and installation of Bilstein 5100’s. Not perfect body but runs hard and a/c is ice cold.

 

@HBTundra thanks, it's all just plasti dipped. I wasn't sure how it would look and that way I could just peel it off if I didn't like it. It's been on about 4 months now and still looks like the day I did it. How long is it gonna last?

 

Did you have your side molding painted ?

 

@Tundra1986 I did not, that's how it was when I got it. I think that may be factory? I did dip the little round trim piece at the top of the molding.

 

10-4, I like !

 

So tempted to drive down and pry that shell off your hands

 

Lol, come grab it

 

Super nice trucks!!

 

This thread is worth scrolling through, almost guaranteed to see your color/wheel combo.

 

2004 SR5 4x4, 1" lift all around, air bags on rear, 17x8 MB TKO wheels (discontinued),

 

Nice! Welcome to the forum.

What are the details on the 1" lift, and what tire size? I may want to reference your truck for other Access Cab drivers.

 

Had 1" spacer on front and air bags with the leafs on back when I bought it. Added weight of camper shell and rear swig arm in back meant I had to inflate airbags way up to even out stance when fully loaded for camping. Added a 1 " block to rear leafs to allieviate over inflation of bags. Tires are stock size 265/65-17 Cooper Discoverer RTX.

 

Pic of truck when I bought it with 143k miles 7 years ago. Now has 179k. I don't get to drive it much.

 

//nevermind//

Beautiful truck.

 

Picked this truck up a couple months ago, I am not a fan of chrome at all. I replaced the the original chrome grill with a TEQ and then painted the mirror caps, bumper chrome piece and the bottom screen with Spray Max 2K hot rod satin black. Also installed black housing Akkon headlights, de-badged and tinted front windows.

Before.

After.

 

Really like the look you ended up with, well done!

 

This looks great. I prefer debadged over blacked out badges on light colored trucks. Great job

 

Nice trucks. Welcome to the forum.

 

Late to the party here...but here's my "old man gold" '07 Limited DBL cab. She's got 245k. I just ordered new KYB shocks, struts, leaf springs, brakes, black grille w/LED on the top, black LED head and tail lights, and a few more farkles. I can't say enough good things about this truck. Only issues in all that time was a stuck driver's side main cam chain tensioner and a failed starter motor. Otherwise...bullet proof. (I posted a lengthy write up on here regarding that tensioner issue that I fixed myself for $85 if anyone ever has that issue as well). My wife wants me to get a new truck because "this one's old", but I figured I can totally customize this bad boy for a fraction of the cost of a years worth of payments for a new truck. Besides, what would I replace it with, some American crap? I don't think so...especially when I've got another 750,000 to go. I'll be dead before that happens.
