    Thank you!

    Yes I picked up the one-tone trail wheels for about $300 and then had them powder coated for $75 each and the center caps painted/clear coated for about $45 each. I painted the badging myself with OEM Cavalry Blue paint and they clear coated those for me for free when I got my wheels and caps done. I think my total bill was around $475. I am sure the price would of been higher if they were the two-toned trail wheels and they would of had to blast the black off of them.

    Excellent looking rig you have there! We got the MBM also. It is a pain as are all black vehicles but we love the lines & hidden ones due to the color.
    We got Xpel to start the protection but it is now time to look into sliders etc to keep the pinstripes down. Just need to convince the wife... any takers? Lol
    You have a great & unique build going; I like it.

    Thanks all....appreciate it. Think I'm done on the outside except for eventually getting the blacked out taillights. The billet grille insert was only like $50 and is one of my favorite things. Except it's a super pain in the ass to dry after washing. I just vacuum the water out and do a quick wipe with the microfiber cloth. Might spend this year getting caught up with my finances and then turn my attention to the audio. At 42 I still love turning up the radio all the way with the windows down and blasting some Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and Appetite For Destruction.....needless to say I'm pretty sure I've already blown the 6x9's in the door.

    I'm not a fan of the black on black myself, but that's sharply done and even better looking since it's not the ubiquitous TRD wheels. Nice job.

    Thank you. I'm fairly anal about trying to be creative even if certain things have been done before. You can always put your own touch on something if you just slow down and plan it out. This is an SR5 so I didn't want anything that says TRD on it as I'm anal about that too. I also didn't want a matte finish on the wheels. I looked into a satin finish to match the roof rack I painted, but after I went into the powder coaters and saw a few samples I was leaning towards a gloss finish. The owner showed me his Corvette's wheels he did in gloss black and I was sold. The only thing I regret is not going back to ask out his daughter. She drove a sweet TRD OR 4Runner, but she was way prettier than her rig...lol
