Official Wind Chill Pearl Thread

The ice cap is a base coat clear over, the WCP is a 3 stage paint which should be a lot more durable and longer lasting than the ice cap white paint. Plus I think there is an ice cap Tundra thread as well, so why would you put an ICE Cap in here and throw every shade?

 

Just trying to make you realize what a big mistake you made with the pearl......paint lasting longer, yeah, right. Don't read too much into it bucky, just saw a thread about white trucks and posted...I'm too old to know what "shade" is. If you are so easily offended you might want to stay off the internet.

 

You sound emotional. Had to check your pfp to see if you were a woman.

 

Yea, my WRX/ STI is CWP, or crystal white pearl. The Wind Chill Pearl is very nice, and so is the ICE Cap.

I guess it is preference, but I love the way the Wind Chill Pearl looks matte in the evenings and later sunsets. It looks amazing in the sun and it is an optional paint costing us who have it roughly 500-700 dollars more. The only thing that sucks about it is if you need paint work then the whole world will be able to tell where it was blended in. You would need to repaint the whole truck.

 

Just picked up a 2025 Platinum in WCP. The smoked chrome mustache & grille bothered me, so I replaced it. Pretty sweet truck.

 

Congrats with the new Rig,it looks waaaay better with the matching stach now get the chin next it'll realy tie it in nicely

 

In hindsight I would’ve definitely replaced the chin too. I still could, but man I don’t really want to take it all apart again lol… If it were as simple as popping that piece out and slamming a color-matched piece in its place, I’d do it in 2 seconds. Maybe there is a way that I’m unfamiliar with. If so, do tell…

Oh it's easy,6 minutes tops to pop off and the same to drop back in.
Jump on YT watch a couple of videos

Interesting. I took the fog light bezel off during the new grill/mustache installation and noticed that there’s a lip on the sides that sits behind the bottom mustache pieces. Not sure how you can get it off with it wedged in behind those pieces. I’ll look into it.

 

I have to say, the color matched fog lamp bezel completes the look very nicely!!

 

It’s actually pretty well known that the single stage white or “ice cap” paint has been the least durable paint for Toyota and has had the most problems.

 

Here’s mine. 24 limited nightshade

 

One of the access ways to the Harbor.

 

Question.
What years will the TRD lift go on?
I have a 2016 TRD thats looks like it just rolled off the dealer showroom floor.
Dont have any plans of installing an aftermarket lift but would be okay with one that Toyota endorses.

 

I thought I had posted here but I guess I failed.
At work, and doing work!

 

Nice looking bed cover!
BTW good size cooling towers you have there, not to pry but what kind facility is that.

 

No prying necessary. Oil refinery SE Michigan.

 

No shit,I would presume that 80% towers are for the equipment?
Always wanted to see inside and working of a facility like that.
Hats off to you man

 

Happy to do my part. It's not so much equipment, for heat exchangers to cool certain areas of the process. Definitely can be boring, exciting and dangerous all in the same day. We like the boring ones the best. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit to some shenanigan's every once in a while.

This was a young engineers bike we were playing hide and seek with during an planned outage.


It's definitely a treat to see the process!

 

Nice prank for sure,I remember back in the day when working in sites similar in size wise to yours I would commandeer my sons skateboard to save time.

 

Back before safety would run you off for it...

And no, he never found it. We kept that bike
