Pig Party - 2017?

[MtnYota]

Thanks for loading those up Andy! I can't wait to see the stories from this - like waiting for Christmas. I still love the print edition of Trails, there is nothing like a real magazine to read...

And thank you for the Pig Party stickers! I love mine. Are you still thinking about letters for our grilles and tailgates?

Yeah, I sure am. I can send links a vinyl supply site I use so y'all can see the color options. I have black & white for sure, and prolly silver.

Premium High Performance Cast Vinyl Films

Click on the smallest size to see the menu for color choices. There's quite a few, but you can't totally rely on the website for exact colors, you should order samples to hold em up to your truck. I think you can get color samples for about $2 a piece. I could trim the 15" color samples to the 12" size I need to run thru my machine. I can make a template that would fit all six letters onto a sample size sheet. As long as you had an eye to arrange each letter individually, but I don't think that'd be hard, since the outdented lettering is already on the tailgate to guide application.

Awesome Andy! That would bee cool to find a good color match. Are you going to crank up black letters for the grille?

Black?! Why black?! Heh heh...jus kiddin....after looking at the PP17 lineup, I realize I'm one of the only black grills! Lol
Yeah, after I've got the template set up in the program for the back, I'll get to work on the front.
Now, I've got to dive into a zillion fonts to find the closest match...and adjust segments until I have an acceptable outline for the machine to cut.
I'm gonna have (what I imagine is) 20+ year old knuckle grease on my keyboard while I'm multi-tasking! Haha. Gotta rebuild or repack my knuckles too! Ugh!
No biggie Honestly, the laptop I use for my Vinyl machine has been demoted (promoted?) to the garage laptop since I started using it to tune/fix my Buell XB12's TPS & ECM, its not nearly greasy enough yet!

Awesome Andy! That would bee cool to find a good color match. Are you going to crank up black letters for the grille?

...oh and, nice article. I had the same aspirations of getting on the road at 2 pm and didn't leave until 8.

Awesome write up I've.

Great article Ige and also great pics. The piece for the Toyota Trails August/September issue has been submitted along with a dozen and a half pictures for Stan to choose from. About half the pics are from Bonnie, the rest poached from other participants who've posted on TJ's drop box. I attempted to make it a group effort and submitted three or four from Ande, two from Craig, one from Ige, one from Ron and a couple from TJ that fit the narrative in the article. Totally Stan's call as to which will be used. He is very excited about the Pig Party and about featuring it in Toyota Trails. Each photographer should be receiving credit in TT for photos that are used. It's a lengthy article with a couple of sidebars.

That is awesome Stan!
It will be in the Sept/Oct issue of Trails, eh? I have my July/Aug issue of Trails right here...

 

[riderjgs]
