08 dc upgrade begins

Started with this now it looks like this but still have some stuff to do

 

Have done everything myself so far
Mods are hypertech interceptor
cross drilled slotted rotors all 4 corners
Rock grille black bezel HID headlights and hid fogs
Fog on mod
More to come

 

You nailed it!!! Good work. What kind of lift did you go with?

 

Went with toy tech ultimate lift with the shackles and adjustable UCAs

 

She's lookin good! I haven't seen many navy blue Tundras, probably fewer than I've seen in the color mine is.

 

Love the white lettering on blue trucks. What's your lift and shackles set at?

 

Nice Truck is the bumper painted or plastic dipped? My 08 has same chrome bumper ,not a fan of chrome unless its on a 67 ford GTA. lol

 

Nice work so far on that Nautical Blue Tundra. My favorite color

 

What kind of prep work is needed to paint the grill bezel?

 

I finally got around to painting the back one and the front door handles
So yes the are painted. I own a auto body facility so that helps in the painting areas lol
To perp chrome correctly it needs sanded with 320 grit sandpaper. It takes a bit to scuff it up it's like sanding concrete but it can be done. You need to just scuff it up enough to give the sealer something to grab ahold of, once it is scuffed wipe it down with wax and grease remover and then 2-3 coats with a stuff called bulldog adhesion promoter the a sealer then paint and clear
the secret to a good job is the prep work
I wasn't real crazy about nautical blue at first I really wanted the lighter blue they have but I really like it now that I own that color
Next on the list is a cowl hood

 

Today I switched out the interior lights to LED's and installed my Christmas present the reverse camera set up went with the sight in the mirror was an easy mod and works great. Much easier backing it up

 

Love. your build.

What's the name of your back up camera kit? Was it all plug and play?
