Blue Ribbon 4x4 Build Thread

Thanks again, Adam!

 

I'm glad my ramblings were of use, but the credit for this is all on you. You do the work and have the drive. I just enjoy the show!


Big question: Is it Falkor approved?

 

Didja zoom in on the windshield?

 

I did now! I don't know why I love him, but I do!

 

Haha! Everyone loves him because he’s always so happy. I take him everywhere, but he only lets kids pet him.

 

Very nice

 

Right! How can you not love a happy little doggo? Give him an ear scratch from me, since he wouldn't let me pet him anyway.

 

Thanks!!

 

Definitely will do.

 

Got a hair up my butt and knocked these out. Had a leak in one a couple months ago and they needed cleaning. So I added the blue pearl over black.

 

You do some mighty fine work!

 

Thank you!

 

Also decided to tint the parking bars a bit. When the lights are off, the bright red against the blue always bothered me.

 

Did a cut and buff on the bulge and grille surround. Sanded with soapy water and 2500 grit, then 3000 grit. Polished with compound and polish, then yellow wax. I’ll get better pictures in the sun tomorrow, I forgot to get pictures and already installed it back on the truck.

 

Sealed up and ready for a trail run tomorrow.

 

Looks really good

 

Thanks Rafael!!

 

Tomorrow is our 7th annual anniversary meet for the SoCal Tundra Outlaws. We have a huge raffle every year from multiple vendors, with all proceeds going to Camp Ronald McDonald- a camp for children with cancer and their families. She’s cleaned up and ready for the show, the grille looks great and the mirrors are kickin too.

 

Forgotten if I had commented in your thread previously, but absolutely stunning truck.
You do amazing work.

 

Thank you so much for the compliment! I sincerely appreciate it!

 

That sounds like an awesome meet up and an even better cause! Maybe some pics of Blues friends and family in the future? I hope its an good turnout and are able to bless many kids! Oh yeah that trucks is sweet. I may have missed if but what kind/brand of paint did you use?

 

@Boneskull420 here is Geno's post from the event last year

 

Thank, looks like good times! This will probably be a dumb assumption but being it says socal I'm assuming its somwhere out around California?

 

Thanks! It was a great turnout. I’ll be posting some pictures here in a bit.
I used Shopline paint.

 

Yep, it was in Orange County. Yorba Linda, California.

 

Thanks, never heard of that brand. I know ive said it before but that's a sharp looking truck. I could only imagine seeing it in person.

 

Here’s a pic from my drone. Tough to get all the trucks. I did win wheels from Lock Offroad, though they don’t make wheels with my bolt pattern. I’ll be in contact with them this week for a solution. Really was an awesome time. Tons of donations, food, and Tundras!

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the win. If nothing else maybe you can sell them and put it towards something on the truck.
