pretty bored today so i did a couple small things on my truck...

went ahead and set up my new shade that my friend gave me for free...
its a sportshade awning and its pretty cool... this model is a couple years old and unfortunately doesnt retract anymore so it has to be manually rolled up, but free is free...

i also took the Downey IFS brace that i got from BLKNBKLU and ground down the really scuffed up areas and repainted it...
i think it turned out pretty nice...









finally i pulled off my emblems off my grill and repainted them... i was sick of all the little dings and the chrome plastic showing thru...
lots of model paint and lots of brush control are needed... dont drink anything with cafine or do any speed before hand...








also cleaned my K&N filter because i havent done that in a year...

 

sweet!

i like that awning.

i got bored today also, replaced a tierod on my highsteer that was shot.
tomarrow im getting her aligned down at LS. the work never ends.

 

Sweet! Get some pics with the emblems back on!!

 

you set up camp just for pictures to post on YT?

wow, devoted are we?

haha

looks good Troy

looks like it's almost time to replace that truss

 

I've been wanting to do some kind of awning for a long time. It rains ALOT here, and I camp often in the rain as a result.

 

more pics...
i just finished up painting the black part of the grill hammertone black...
i think it looks pretty good... there are a couple tiny imperfections, but you cant tell from a distance...

 

cool pics. I like the invisible ones- they hide all the mistakes you make.

 

Nice. I love to spend time on little details like this

 

Done!

actually, i had the laptop out there, so it was kinda like Yota Command Central... lol... but on the downey brace... why should i replace it??

Dunno if it will hold up well in the rain, but we had prolly 15-20mph winds today and it didnt go nowhere...

accidentally pressed submit before the pics finished uploading...

i love doing little stuff too... its the stuff that most people overlook... or just paint over...

 

was just chaining your jerk.

got a pic from a distance?

 

here ya go...

 

2 words...

AUTO FOCUS

 

its getting dark and when theres no flash the camera dont focus too well...

 

Nicely Done; It takes a steady hand and a lot of patience when it comes to model paint and emblems.

 

...
or an airbrush and dremel.

 

oh..for some reason it looked like you were painting the Toyota and v6 emblems black..like the whole thing. Oh well. They look great with some touch-up

 

I like, gives me ideas. Where did you get the headlight?

 

well ok, maybe no need to replace it, but that's things been laid against many a rocks, lol

 

off ebay. theyre projector lights that replace the solid beam headlights with h4 bulbs

 

Nice work man!!
Looks great!
