This was like my second time washing a vehicle ever. I have to say that black truly is a royal PITA. But at the same time, it's also the best looking color. So, I didn't take any pics before the mods I have already done to it: 5% Tint (which will be redone with 3M 5% for the fronts because it doesn't match perfectly and I'm anal about stuff like that), Debadge, Removed Factory Pinstripe and the black headlight mod which I'm also going to have to redo because I have some lint inside my right lense somehow. Anyway, next weekend the wife gave me the go ahead to get my ReadyLift leveling kit installed and some KMC Hoss - Gloss Black 20x9 wheels on Cooper Zeon LTZ (305/55/20) tires.
My birthday is next month and the wife is going to pay for the Front and Rear bumpers to be Line-X'd with the XTRA in gloss black. Then I'm going to send my mom & dad a birthday list (I haven't done this in probably 16 years...LOL) and give them the part number for a color keyed grille and an ebay link to those Tacoma fog lights. I actually kinda like the stock grille so I'm going to just paint the emblem black. I painted one of my original emblems black and am going to put it back on in the rear in the center like NorCalToy did because I like the way that looks. If I can't get it to stick good I'm just going to order new one...
And finally, if someone would eventually buy my OEM steps in the Classifieds section I will put some N-Fab Nerf Steps in, yep you guessed it, BLACK.
First of all my truck is a street queen so everything I do to my truck is purely for aesthetics. My truck is a 2008 DC SR5 V6 with black cloth interior. Obviously 2WD and I can't wait for people to flame me for not only putting a leveling kit on a 2WD but a V6 one at that. LOL! It doesn't matter, my dad can beat up your dad. So there! (Well, not really, he's sorta wimpy)
Plus the fact that I get right around 19.5 mpg in the city you have to be slightly jealous...
OK, on to the pics:
I can't wait for it to be completely blacked out. It's going to be sick!
I'll post some pics next weekend when I get the wheels/tires put on with the leveling kit and an alignment...
Then, my next project will be a fairly simple stereo install using some stuff that is VERY NICE! (in Borat voice )
I'm definitely going to come out and meet you for a game this year with my wife and my roommate from FSU and his wife...I'll let you know when that time of the year rolls around. Shoot me a PM with your email addy and what your name is...I'm Ryan...
Go to the FSU vs Florida game and I'll make the drive up from Gainesville it's NOV 29. It should be fun for at least me
FSU games are always fun for me cuz I'm drunk and our girls are the hottest! By the way the farthest girl to the right is Jenn Sterger the FSU cowgirl and she lived above me last year!!
Jenn Sterger again...
And again...

Your doing to much black kind of blank like leave some chrome looks ok but with Tundra painted black you can hardly see it.
I really like the blackout look on a truck. To me chrome on a black truck looks dumb. The only color truck I would like chrome on would be dark blue or that bright blue...The whole point of not being able to see it is I want it to look like a little stealth bomber...
Here's what it would take to make that my favorite truck...
1. Full debadge
2. Black headlight mod
3. Tint on tail lights
4. Tint on tow mirror orange reflectors
5. All black nerfs
6. Black painted brake calipers
If all that were done to that truck it would make my jaw drop!

Well lets see...I know for a fact that my HS graduating class had a few hundred kids in it. I know that out of those several hundred HS grads the girls that got accepted to UF and went there were the ugly ones and the good looking ones went to FSU...even some that also got into UF...like I did. I'm at FSU because the undergrad and graduate business programs are better than those at UF. Our undergrad business school is in the top 30 in the country and our grad accounting program is number 6! In Florida we are ranked above UF so thats why I came here. Yes I hang out with the hott ones too since you were wondering.
...Not tryin to be a dick....its all in good fun.

Yea I know me neither I was just givin you a hard time. I don't doubt the business program is good there I'm not in business here so I can't compare. I'm at UF because it is the number one school in the country for Building Construction didn't apply to FSU, the don't offer that degree. Oh and the football team is okay here to LOL. My uncle lives in Tally and owns a shop there, so I'll be making the drive up to get my lift and tires when I get the money so I'll be sure to PM before I come up. Good luck with finals Two weeks to go! NOW for the third time haha.
