paint all the grey plastic black to match the flares. Remove Running boards. BTW, the tundra Steelies are really freakin heavy...just a heads up.

I am looking for lx470 wheels(16's) to trade for my oem 16" wheels. I want the 18" lx470 wheels or oem 100 series wheels but only if the tires are packaged along with the rims. I have 265/75 r16 mickey thompson mtx.

notify me of any deals

poser pic: got rid of the black centercaps. decided to keep the alloy look

flexing before the ome lift. does this still qualify for a "poser" pic?

Snorkle? why? ditch the damage enhancer add a bumper and winch. You'll get stuck long before you drive through water deep enough to need a snorkle. You get bonus points for having smashed factory sidesteps. Maybe sliders are more inportant than a snorkle?

changed my priority list for upgrades. it is now:

diff drop...then whatever else I need

how descriptive

how descriptive

haha thanks. those sliders dint work out for me

 

[FullyLitLED]

Got the diff drop from bump it offroad today. I asked him to powdercoat it orange even though I know that you can't see the diff drop. But anyways, will definitely do business with him again in the future. Easy to talk to and really fast shipping

I know this might seem lame, but I like the orange stickers that he provided!

Grille is now blacked out

before

1st coat of primer

Almost done with the blacked out grille. Finishing touches needed. The black emblem was bugging me, so I decided to paint it a bright color...since blue is my fav color, it seemed right

 

[wareagle]

Looks good, but that Blue is awful.

 

[ginericLC]

Are you color blind? I don't mean that to be rude but a friend of mine is color blind and always paints stuff orange and light blue. It makes it a real bitch for him to sell stuff after the fact. My diff drop is bronze colored. Originally it was for a friend's truck and his is that copper bronze color.

we took this kids civic in high school one day after class and pulled every piece we could off the interior/exterior it and painted it light blue. even put light blue pin stripes on it. He thought it was cool!

 

[FullyLitLED]

I was thinking red emblem but idk haha

 

[FullyLitLED]

gunmetal looks good on bronze?

or stock?

Black rims, and black side molding.

If you are going to rock those fender flares then you got to color match the side trim, bumpers, and front grill. Right now it looks like mash up of difference colors and textures...

Oh. and flip those tires so the white letters are to the inside!

 

[FOPLawyer]

Gotta go with Anthony, black out the trim, flip the tires and go with black Powder on the rims. And when you get a chance, ditch the poser bumper bar. Of course, my most obvious mod is the half eaten mud flaps that my dogs chewed off, so what do I know.

 

[farinvail]

I like the orange, then again I drive a KTM. not so wild about the blue. I'd paint the side trim and wheels black.
