White Top 80

[ttubb]

I have had some questions about my white top so I thought I would post a couple of pics. The white is the same Toyota white as the FJ-40 and FJ Cruiser. Terry

What is the full story behind the white top?

I like it with a snorkel better

Why not...it carries a little LC tradition and might even keep the truck cooler?

Well, this was an Az vehicle and the top paint was deteriorating so I decided to match up the tops with my FJ-40 and FJ Cruiser. I had Maaco in TUS do the prep and paint match and it only cost $238. It does stay cooler inside in the summer.

It is difficult to see in these pics but Maaco put a 1/4 black border line between the red and white, which I think was a good accent touch. Terry

Thanks for posting the pictures I requested, Terry. Did they also take off the stock rack and fill the holes? Which Maaco? I appreciate it. Dave.

I've actually been thinking about having that done to my '99 F350 as its too long to have ever been garaged and its starting to fade up top.

It actually never had the roof rack so the OEM plugs were in place. I used the Maaco on Palo Verde. Terry

~1/3 of the way to having it the "correct" color!

Can you please post pictures taken from the back? Is part of the lift gate painted white too?

This is about the best I could find. Yes, the lift gate has white on it too.
Hope it helps. Terry

 

[medtro]

Yes, it helps. Thanks Terry!

Mine has no roof rack, nor does it have any OEM plugs or anything to plug
