I fly into Eglin Air Force Base quite a bit when we go to Destin for vacation every other year!

 

TA 4, Skyhawk. Navy used them as advanced trainers.

 

Bite the bullet and order the vled v6 triton.

 

Looks good. So do your lights come on when you unlock your truck?

 

Operation “No-Mo-Chrome” has begun. Grill/bulge and mirror caps have been ordered. I couldn’t pass them up since they were on sale.

I decided to just paint the bumper caps. I had enough primer and clear left over from a motorcycle project. A 1/2 pint of the Barcelona red was $59! Seems like a lot.

Super windy day down here in Corpus, so I’ll have some trash to sand out but overall they turned out great. I will reassemble tomorrow and continue anxiously waiting on my big box from Roman.

 

Swamp Phase...RLTW

 

How much to do some stuff in MGM?

Good looking work though!

 

Thanks man. It’s strictly a hobby for me. I can’t imagine a shop charging more than a couple hundred, but that’s a total guess

 

Gave it a bath and sprayed the wheel wells with tire foam, Cleans them up real nice

 

Did you do any other porting, or just polishing/ clean up?

 

Yes they do, tied into the cargo light and its on/door/off switch.

 

Magnaflow dual exhaust finally completed!

 

Which one? How is it coated? Nice work!!

 

see below

 

How did you get the paint to stick to that smooth chrome?

 

I honestly don’t know which “Model” it is or the coating. It is a Magnaflow dual in/dual out. I just told the shop I wanted something that sounded good on acceleration with minimal drone and this is the one they recommended. Sounds exactly like I wanted and looks pretty good as well.

 

Put on Decals by Design BeforeAfter

 

how's the fit of the leer?

 

Hows the fit of that Leer?

Trying to decide between ARE and Leer

 

Debadged the tundra on the door, gave it a bath and installed the Truxedo prox15 (thanks @eccracer104 )

 

Personalized plate put on today

 

Sanded the shit out of it

Started with 80 grit and stopped at 220. Copper was showing through in most places. Then I sealed it with epoxy sealer, then base and clear

 

What did you use to paint the trimming around cup holder/shifter? Looks clean AF!!

 

Tnx Rob. It's actually not painted, it's wrapped. I wrapped both of them in matte black. I have a piece leftover downstairs if u need me to take a look at the details. But theres bunch of wrap manufacturers out there and they all pretty similar.

If u do decide to give it a try 1 bit of advice I can give is to make sure u go completely under and around. Don't stop at bottom edge or it can pull up. If u don't feel comfortable u can always take it to a place and for around $40 bucks they can do it.

 

When I had my wheels powder coated I wanted them to be a shade darker than cement gray, but it ended up being the opposite and came out a tad lighter.

I've had pretty good experiences with plastidip so as long as the product was applied appropriately under the right conditions so I played around with their smoke dip, but I'll probably peel it off during the weekend. Thought it would darken or "tint" the wheel, but it ended up just turning a shade lighter than black (and how I actually took delivery of them). (Not a fan of all black wheels).

I'm gonna play a little more and throw some metalizer on top. That should lighten the overall look. If I dont achieve the look I was going for, then off you go.

 

Nice build man! One of my favorites on here...outside the box and I dig it!

 

Update.....It’s the Magnaflow 12468 internal X-Pipe design.

 

I think it looks great! Overall truck looks good, too. What kind of wheels are those and what size tires are you running?
