J Hoss- Thanks a million for the pictures! That helps me a lot.

It looks incredible, very nice combo! Let us see those center caps when you get done.

 

[J Hoss]

Here goes!

All done, and out in the daylight earlier.

Can you give me a run down of your mods? Do you have a lift kit? Are you on stock tire size or did you upsize? What exactly did you trim to stop the rubbing and do you have rubbing now. Thanks

 

[J Hoss]

[MENTION=63587]trdsport253[/MENTION] everything in my sig, nothing that isn't Definitely plan on leveling/lifting, but given that off road excursions are fewer/ further in between in central Tx, It'll be Bilsteins or a Toytec ultimate at most (had one on my tacoma).

-I did the fender adjustment mod( [MENTION=8206]harper7[/MENTION]'s if you search it ). Very little front rubbing(in reverse, full lock).

I've never been to that park, but here it is very nice. Please post a trip report when you can.

Thanks,

LED's last night...heading out now to go check out some tint options

I like the interior LED's - what did you wind up going with?

 

[J Hoss]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FW1JXGO/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit got this 14 piece kit from amazon, put them in the doors instead of the license plates. The reverse lights appear to be larger than whats included so I'd consider this a true 'interior' kit.

Check out Sunbusters up on 183 near Duval. I picked up a 2012 BP LE and had them strip the crap tint from the front windows and then do full ceramic tint all the way around. Max darkness allowed in TX on the fronts and the same tint over the factory tint in the back to just darken them up a little. If you want pics let me know (don't have any "before" shots).

I'm not affiliated with them in any way other than being a happy customer. When I was there, they had two brand new 2014 Corvettes, a BMW 6-Series Grand Coupe, a brand new M5, and a Bently of some kind. The guy said most of it was referred to them by the dealerships. They definitely know their stuff.

 

[J Hoss]

Appreciate the suggestion Jeff! I had 20% put on on my fronts and 35% on top of the privacy glass (to match a little more closely with the front) around the rear tonight at a friends shop. Madico charcoal, which they also did all around on my 02 GS430 back in '07 and it still looks perfect. imp:

Nothing beats having a friend in the biz!

 

[J Hoss]

the 'build' goes on!


Madico Charcoal 20% Front tint & 35% over the rears :spy:, came out pretty even, depending how the light hits it of course. Found my 4 missing bulbs and did the reverse and tag lights too. (I decided to reverse the light cover mount on the right side to have the bulb aimed at the plate)

J Hoss- Thanks to you I finally got my wheels. They're not installed yet but I wanted to show you my fix to the center cap dilemma. Keep I'm mind this will be with black lug nuts as well.

Side by side



Thanks for the inspiration buddy. I'll post pics once I get them mounted!

JHoss your runner looks great man! Inspiring me to save some dough and keep stock height and suspension with more aggressive 265s! Do you think that LED light kit should work for 2014s too? Hope so, I already hit send on the order! Damn Amazon prime.

 

[J Hoss]

Hey [MENTION=57349]93toy[/MENTION] looks good, and different! I've been on a t4r hiatus with my 3 month old requiring a bit more attention and SXSW taking place. I just my tires rotated at 5500 miles and removed the caps. When I got home I hit the rear hubs with some plasti dip to even them out a bit. I'm going to try and find a match for the gunmetal and spray the caps. So far I like them as is though!


In other news I've left my job(voluntarily with a nice package) and sold my Lexus Gs430 so Ill be treating myself to a Toytec lift & audio improvement VERY soon(hoping for a group buy)

Here's the current state until I find some matching paint and/or lift it.

Hmmm Austin, TX and voluntary separation...I know where you worked! /shouldhavetakenitmyself

Truck looks great, clearly it is the best color.

 

[93toy]

J Hoss- I noticed when I was installing my wheels that they really do look good with no center cap at all! Looks nice!
