get rid of all those stickers for a cleaner look imho

 

[Autbond]

Yea I took most of the stickers off the windows of the truck just not the body. I am actually getting the body shop to take the ones on the body off.

Paint it black!

Fu*k that noise!!! white all the way bro. and they look re****ed without stars, thats why you bought rockSTARS for the STARS hahaha

 

[Autbond]

You don't like the way that jeep looks? At the top of this page?

 

[4Runner8]

yea i like it, minus the no stars. and those pitbull are nasty!! you should get those for 35's!

 

[Autbond]

Yea those were the other tires I was looking at were the Pitbull Rockers in a radial of course and also looking at Nitto Trail Grappler MT's as well as the Mud Grapplers again.

The StormTrooper, haha, has its new hood on and is now getting the decals taken off, the stars on the center caps painted white and the center caps shortened so that they are more flush with the wheel, the grille finished, the tail light tint redone, the rear tailgate emblem painted black and then a good wax. This should all be done by tomorrow evening.

 

[4Runner8]

awesome, cant wait to see it. and good call on the white stars. it will def. stand out from the crowd, ( the crowd as in the dodge guys with rockstars haha cause thats all i ever see em on haha)

 

[4Runner8]

hey man im wondering about your vent visors. are they the stick ons? i want stick ons cause the bad things i heard about in channels but i cant find any stick ons anywhere, even ebay. i might end up getting the in channels cause i want them now. didnt you say the in channels wouldnt allow you to roll up your window?

 

[Autbond]

The ones I had made the pressure switch on the windows go off, where they automatically go back down when there is any down pressure on the windows when they are rolling up. I got mine from Advance Auto Parts; kind of like autozone. They usually don't have them in stock but it only takes them a day to get them in the store. They were about $50

 

[4Runner8]

sweet, im bout to do that tomorrow for sure and get them on by sunday. thnkns oh and how hard was the install? was it hard to get them lined up perfectly?

 

[Autbond]

nah, they are easy to install no worries

 

[Autbond]

New center caps on wheels

Here are some pics one of the new hood and a few of the white stars on the wheels. I apologize for the terrible quality they were sent to me via MMS so I havent even seen the truck yet.

 

[4Runner8]

that looks raw!!!

 

[Autbond]

The grill border done; this has been a pain in the a** to get finished. It was at the body shop getting smoothed out and painted for 3 DAYS! That's ridiculous, anyway the mesh and emblem will be on tomorrow so I will have more pics then. Also, the radiator and trans cooler were re-painted black as to blend in behind the mesh.

 

[4Runner8]

oh my god hahah i have been waiting sooo long and its still not done yet haha and i wont get to see it tomorrow till after work at like 7. ahhhhh

 

[SkylineGTRracer]

How'd you paint the radiator? I plan on getting something like this.

 

[Autbond]

Just black rustoleum spray paint. Yea the grille is going to look pretty good I think. We will see tomorrow.

 

[SkylineGTRracer]

Hell yeah post it up! after I do a few more performance mods I'm going to address the looks. Mine won't look as tough but I think it'll suit my needs.

 

[chaz]

i like it already!

 

[Autbond]

Grille finished without the emblems. Emblems will be on Sa****ay along with the train horn! I don't know whether to put both the V8 emblem on along with the Toyota emblem or just the V8 or just the Toyota or leave it with nothing. Excuse the Iphone 4 pics; my camera has been being repaired for 3 weeks so when I get it back I will post some better shots (probably a parking deck).
