If the stripper and sand paper work out well are you still going to paint it then? Black isn't a bad choice by a long shot. Then you could go over the high points with yellow and red. Lol.

But seriously just black would look pretty good. Glad to see some good progress.

Yeah what I think i'm going to do is bring it back to the factory look with everything being black and the "TRD" being unpainted.

Paint removal is underway!

That automotive stripper stuff is nasty, does a real good job taking off paint!

I really want a set of those Konig's as well. Just wondering how they'll hold up on a long travel truck and what they're weight is.

Ahh I want a set SO BAD! They only go about $700 or so for 4 from what I understand. A few guys on TacomaWorld have them i'm going to see if I can't find out where they got them. I'll let you know what I find. If you find anything let me know!

There is a group buy thread on here for the 16 inchers in blue on here now, I'll grab a link for you when I'm not on my phone. I definitely want em in bronze though. I also think I'll need the 17s to clear my brake kit I've scheming up.

Guess it's time for an update.

-Supercharger is getting sent out to be painted "Radiant Red" to match the Tacoma

-Got a check engine light, it's only an O2 sensor

-Picked up a BudBuilt skid plate yesterday, WOW that thing is HEAVY! (pics to come).
