What do you guys think...? Of course its a chop i mocked up.. but im thinking it should work well.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

What part is chopped? Didnt I read you sold the AT and went with the 459?

The image above is a photoshop.. (chopped). It hasn't been touched yet. Yes, we sold our horizon and picked up a 459.

Works out very well.
Do you have to paint both two tone colors on the teardrop or just the bottom dark grey - assuming the teardrop is matching silver already?

Im thinking just the bottom since the top practically matches already. Im also thinking i could just wrap the bottom section.. would be easier.

 

[Bluetribal]

If you do paint instead of wrap I would paint in the wheel well too.

 

[SOCALFJ]

Yeah, we could do the wheel wells with both.. great eye Mark.

 

[SOCALFJ]

Well, they started in on the wrap today and found that the vinyl was stretching a tad and then changing color on them. It ended up not looking good, so off to the paint booth the trailer goes tomorrow for the bottom tone. We're leaving the anodized silver up top, it's close enough and i hate painting the nice aluminum as it is!

Anyhow, hopefully pick it up tomorrow and it will match the truck

I am so envious. A tear drop would bring my wife out on just about every trip. Can't wait to see it, and nice p-chop Dave.

 

[Bluetribal]

For it really to match you need to mount a snorkel onto the tear drop and then turn it into a periscope and with night vision

 

[AdventureBuddies]

That will look very awesome

 

[SOCALFJ]

Well, the trailer is fresh out of paint and looks real sharp.... if you want to see it up close and personal with our 80 series, we'll have it on display at OVX 2011 representing SoCal Teardrops. They will also have 2-3 on display as well. Stop by and say hello.

 

[SoCal_80]

Looks sweet. Did you line-x the bottom of the trailer or is that paint ?

 

[SOCALFJ]

Paint, matching code and all. Exactly same as the cruiser (minus the 16 year old fade ) . So technically if you ever needed to touch it up you could get touch up paint from Toyota.

The top is the same anodized aluminum as before, just happens to match good enough and i didn't want to paint over it, i felt bad just painting the bottom!

 

[SOCALFJ]

Yeah we reprinted the trail list along with about 33 new places. It looks tiny! A few other items are going on the rear lid before Expo to finish it off.. but yeah were happy with it.

 

[Brentbba]

That is f'ing beautiful! I hate you!!

 

[SOCALFJ]

started loading it up with gear today and kitchen crap ... finally feeling more like ours!

Deployed the awning, it can either go straight down like our old awning or the feet can mount to the walls of the trailer.
What's nice is if you need to push the trailer to aim where the sun it hitting, just like the one on the LC.. virtually no legs.

Also, played with the leveling jacks.. used for basecamping or whats real nice is that you can change the tires with them.

Only problem is you have to haul them around with you lol

Also got my axe mounted with the bajarack shovel/axe mount option.
