I attached a pic just for you! lol And about the paint i'm just going to go with boat paint so i can roll it on, the guys wanted $400 for the viper yellow paint (too much considering i picked up the truck for only $91 more). Haha and my GF lives about an hour and a half away so she unfortunately will not be helping in the painting process.



Bondo'd with a coat of primer! The other fender looks the same.
Looks good, man! Nay, the diff colors, etc., that's just from it still wet or how it dried, ...not looking wavey at all, GOOD JOB MAN!

That pic was taken when it was still wet. The paint is just to prevent rusting on the exposed metal. It's shaping up to look like i'll be painted before July

The last paint job I did was with a $20 harbor freight airgun and a borrowed compressor..it came out awesome. X2 on don't waste your time rolling..will take twice as much paint and you'll never ever get it smooth.

X3! You're being offered 'ASSISTANCE', don't you pass that up, young man! lol. If I had some at the moment, assistance that is, I'D BE ON IT LIKE A WET BLANKET! And, well, they're right! Just do it right the first time. I see you have a newer Tuberon(sp?).....not saying you're loaded, I know it's rough starting out...but you will be sorry if it comes out to your disliking and then you have to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! Sa-vay? lol.

have you thought about anopther yellow thats similar? like maybe the corvette yellow, or the camaro yellow, or even the sunfire yellow... all are similar... and if you put enough clear coat on it, no one will be able to tell the difference...


another option is going with the old FJ40 paint colors...

Well, Mfwimg82 sent me a link to a one-step yellow paint that will only run me about $100 so i'm just going to go with that. But thanks for the ideas.

Ok guys, I've got a few quick questions.

1. I'm assuming i can run 31's on the 22re with stock gearing correct?

2. Is there anyone in Eastern PA/Jersey that can make me a custom rear bumper? Or where can i get an aftermarket rear bumper?

3. Lifts, I just want a small 2-3in lift (suspension). Which company is the best? OME?

-Thanks for the reply's, i did search a little but it just got me more confused lol

Check out wabfab for the lift and he has some nice bumpers available. May as well get some skids as well.

I'm running 31's stock gearing 4.10's and I'll be running 33x12.5's at Rousch Creek.

Space-junk is right...Google is your friend.
