If it's still the factory color then look on the door tag and or you can take a pic of it and post it on here so others can get the color code from it as well as other info that came on the items on the truck :} I looked up paint colors for your year and for dark blue is color 8E2, see if you can find that code.

You going to do a SAS? I would and have a perfect truck :}

 

I want to but am not ready for that yet.
As soon as my other project is up and running I will start sourcing the parts for the SAS>

 

I think the original color was white. Just look at the engine compartment; its white with blue overspray around the edges. Beautiful rig, none the less.

 

It's possibly 8P1: Speedway Blue Metallic which is a 2005 + Tacoma color. It looks soooo good.

It is a factory color, just not factory to this truck. Has a respray used to b white.

 

Aright so I have been slacking and lazy.
No post for a few days.

Replaced Radiator, was so easy had to remove nothing but the intake hose from the filter to the throttle body to get it out.
Removed 4 of these and 2 clamps then removed it from the top. Took the fan housing off put it on the new radiator and put it back in reverse of removal.

Put new Exhaust system on from the Header back. I decided to keep the header as it was already there and was easier the removing and replacing with stock manifold. I will post up pics this weeked. I an going to my buddys shop http://www.globalgarage.biz/ put it on lift for some good pics.>>>

 

Okay early start today 7am do perform a Valve Adjustment. I have never done this before but was very easy. Had to buy this
Go-No Go gauge.
Adjusted to OE Specs 8* Intake 12* Exhaust.

I drove down to Sumitt Racing and purchased my new o2 Sensor today.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NGK-29414/ Universal 4 wire that Dub Tek rewired for me. Will put that on tomorrow after work along with this

 

If Summit Racing was in driving distance from my house, I'd be there all day, everyday...I'd probably ask for a job. You sir, are a lucky man

 

Today was a productive day.
I removed the aftermarket steering stabilizer
and the OE steering stabilizer
to install the new Pro Comp ES2000.


I also greased all the grease zerks
at several points:
Propller Shaft Spider Front,Middle,Rear.
Propeller Shaft Sliding Yoke.
Doubl-Cardan Joint.
Propeller Shaft Sliding Yoke.

I will have to buy it for sure.
Thanks for the FYI...

 

Alright so I forgot to install the O2 sensor this weekend.
Well I did it tonight and no more Check Engine Light.
Off to the E_check shop to get the smog checked.
fingers crossed. Actually I dont care if it passes. I will get a waiver and then next year I will get historical tags and never have to worry about E-checks again.

I have ordered my Upper and Lower Ball Joints Last night.
They will be here tomorow and then I will post up the pics so u can drool over them.
Install is Schedualed for Monday the 16th James Earl Ray Day.....

 

There Here! There Here!
Take look!!!!!

 

Have a look at this page of Toyota factory colors. I'm wondering if you might have "Blue Streak Metallic/Mica."

http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.asp...oyota-pg03.jpg

 

Thats so crazy that you posted that.
I was just looking that up!!!!!
I think it may be that or Voodoo Blue BC/FJ
I need to take it somewhere to find out but I have no clue??? But Thanks for the input...

 

This truck is getting mucho love.

 

It's not VooDoo. VooDoo blue is very bright blue. Yours appears to be metallic. The reason I'm so curious is my original 1st gen 4Runner was the Medium Blue Metallic (8D7). I looooved that color and always got compliments. The 1st gen I have now is white but identical to my old one in all ways but the exterior color. I'm so tempted to paint it blue. Your truck looks so good I kind of want to explore that color. I won't be painting until the winter is over.

Sorry to thread jack your mechanical progress. You have a great truck.

 

Thanks and No big deal.
I need to find the color code.
You think a body shop could do this?
Toyota is no help either.

 

Quit worring about the silly paint color

Post pics of that exhaust you had made up.......

 

Im surprised you havent been up in here since I put all 4 of those ball joints up under there............
