I love it! Good job on the decals.

 

Thanks, they are a little tricky to apply and you only have one shot to get them right, the adhesive is very aggressive so repositioning them is out of the question if you do the "dry" method of installation.
You can also install using a "wet" method which allows for repositioning but sounds messy to me and I had some prior Sign experience with vinyl lettering.

 

Would your local sign shop be interested in making a second batch of these decals? If so, I would be interested.

All the best,
Zack

 

Zack, I will check with them next time I go by, I imagine they would and still should have all the measurements in the computer.
A warning though they aren't cheap as its a one shot deal from the sign shop, unlike vendors like James Dean Creations that make the 81-95 stripping in bulk.

 

Gotcha.....I appreciate your help.


Zack

 

Zack, I stopped by the Sign Shop today and they can do up another set, both sides and hood graffics for $386., just for comparison I was charged $450 but that included initial design, measurement input and layout which won't be charged on subsequent orders now that its in their computer. Kevin

 

Ok great! Thank you very much for your help!
Do you want to PM the info? Any idea as to the shelf life of the decals? My truck is still some time away from paint.


Thank you again!

Zack

 

Your better off waiting till your truck is ready for them so they are "fresh".....I find if they sit around for any length of time I've had problems with the backing paper becomes harder to remove without tearing and being a real pain, that has been my experience with vinyl lettering for Signs anyway.

 

Love the look of this, glad to see a sport getting some love.

 

First-gen Yota 4x4's, coolest trucks ever. Doing 'rehab' on an '82 myself now. Just plopped a 20R head, LCE cam and 38/38 on last weekend. Welded up a 2" exhaust with a Dynomax super turbo and left the 22R exhaust manifold/downpipe on.

I'm not going for the ultimate 'stocker' look but just making it a useful truck w/o hacking it to pieces to beat to tar on some trail. Yours, however is a step above. Simply beautiful. Nothing beats the factory style of the first gen.

You have a very nice truck. Keep it updated, I like reading about it!

"Coolest trucks ever"... You won't get an argument here.....good luck with yours and post some pics.

 

you've got some beautiful toys my dude. is it cali or fed emissions?

 

This one was bought new from Marysville CA so cali emmisions. Just picked up another "toy"...a 83 Mirage Edition 4wd.....1 owner, nice shape...will post pics soon..

 

i don't think i've heard of that yet, did hear about the "Mohave" edition

 

thats sickkk

??

 

i thought the camper was a sunrader

 

Wrong Mirage......it was a Limited Edition in 82-83.....Metallic Grey paint, moonroof, chrome package, factory roll bar and tube rear bumper, special graphics, basicly a upgraded SR5.....its the middle one in the pic..not much info available on them but very few made or exist today from what I can tell..

 

For me it would be the hardest decision to come in the garage having to chose which one I would drive that day! Can't wait to see pics of the mirage.

 

I would just like to say I hate you and love you all at the same time I hate all these southern rust buckets I miss the west coast. I looked at probably 3 or 4 trucks after I sold my desert rat first gen (Nevada and Arizona) thank the lord after 3 years the guy I sold it too still had it now its back in my hands (I took off the primer flames and painted her all black) one day she will go back to blue on blue sr5 with chrome. But I just want to enjoy her on and off the road again

 

Doesnt the Jamesdean guy make those sticker sets?
