The mod snowballeffect. Poly Body mounts
I had a set of Energy suspension body bushings in my garage for about a year now. SO I decided to install them. Big mistake.
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toy_old-cabmount6_600.jpg)
Here is a sample pic of a 6 year old mount
So i go ahead and clean every thing up
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toy_bushing-cleanup1_600x.jpg)
And install new mounts
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toy_bushing3_600.jpg)
At this point I have the frame all most 100% painted and step back to look at this..
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/P5010013.jpg)
After I yank the chrome trim off of the sides I find that there is a 3" strip of 3m sticky tape residue that nothing can panetrate. But more on that later.
Since I had the interior ripped out (to clean the mount holes)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toy_cab-mount-inside1_600.jpg)
I thought "Hey why not get some bed liner and do the floor"
UH OH!
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toydedfl1.jpg)
I thought maybe I should take it down to the bare metal, easy right? This little spot took me two hours with a chisle and a hammer.
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/toydedfl5.jpg)
God I love air tools. 45 mins later and one oops (speed hole in the floor) I got most of the sound deadner up.
It took some 80 grit and acetone to clean every thing up to apply the bed liner. BTW I used the Duplicolor kit that we sell at Advance Auto Parts
Here is the first coat.. (sorry for the crappy photo fumes +
= unsteady hands)

And here is the second coat..

I have couple Civic seats I am thinking about putting in (later)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/PA010004.jpg)
HMMM i think she needs a coat of paint..
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/P5240015.jpg)
so I think to myself "flat black would be easy to maintain"
I started with the front bumper --the snowball got bigger--
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/BumperPainted.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/tyo-primerd-side.jpg)
This is after I had to use Aircraft paint remover to get that damm 3M tape off. That and some 80 grit on my electric drill.
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/rattlecan-black2.jpg)
Back in black!
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/P3200003.jpg)
The we get in some Camo paint at work and I scoop up a few cans of tan. .
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/rattlecan-black.jpg)
I did a quck test on the rear quarter panel..
I like it!
and here is the result......
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/P3280010.jpg)
the other side...
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/shutterbugthom/ToYoTa/P3280011.jpg)
I still need to find the bumper bolts and finnish the radiator cover I made out of stretched steel. and bolt everything back up.
Oh yeah I will also be getting rid of the ricer yellow gas tank skid and sway bar ASAP. LOL I was going to paint the bish John deer green and yellow a few years back.

Wow dude, that's what i call motivation! those fumes really got you pumped!
Awesome job. I dig it. I realiy do. Thought about spray painting my Hilux the same sand color you did, but never got the courage to really do it.
What would have I done differently? I would have done the grill black. and the whole truck tan. I'm not too crazy about the camo spots, maybe if you were to do more and/or smaller spots it would look better. The large spots kinda resemble cow spots. In any case, it looks really cool, congrats!
