Excellent job there mate, looks wicked...

Thanks for the comments .
I may do the same on the front of the bonnet , I just havnt fully decided yet lol .
The white on the tyres is done using a paint marker from makro . It's basically white paint in a pen with a 12mm tip so a couple of strokes over the letters and they are done lol .

Getting better all the time!!

Thanks for the 'marker' tip and pics of your spacers. I too am awaiting delivery of a set of 30mm Bulldogs.

Have you experienced any rubbing on full lock and if so, had your already made the adjustment to increase your turning circle?

Cheers

The truck has a lovely stance now , the wheels are level with the edge of the arch , I just need to trim my mudflaps as they catch on full lock lol
The pic is how it sits now

Cool! Looks much, much better! Can't wait for mine to arrive and the obligatory 'trim!'

Cheers

Another little change .
Side steps are now black .

#63 by Danne , Fri Jul 05, 2013 5:17 am

How did you get them black? Looks kind of cool

#64 by woody13 , Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:28 am

Doin a good job there animal,likin the black sidesteps....

#65 by animal , Fri Jul 05, 2013 8:02 am

Thankyou .
They are painted with truck bed liner from halfords, just key them up all over with a scotch pad or scourer, then mask up the sills to stop overspray, and spray them in 3 coats.
It puts a tough rubbery type coating on them .

Could you get some close up shots of the side steps Animal?

#67 by animal , Fri Jul 05, 2013 10:27 pm

Here you go mate

#68 by Yoda , Sat Jul 06, 2013 7:42 am

Yep, I like that. And should be tough as well given that its bed liner. I'm tempted to copy you here bud. That really smartens up a well used step.

#69 by animal , Sat Jul 06, 2013 5:19 pm

It does yes , only £8 per can aswell ,

#70 by Dave1968 , Sat Jul 06, 2013 5:33 pm

Looks good! I'm not after that look but its very effective.

It'd look very good on yours Luke too!!

#71 by robert3040 , Sat Jul 06, 2013 5:43 pm

Looks good.Trying to find the paint in Halfords web page,what exactly does it come under?(different project ) .Another though would it go on alloys?

#72 by Yoda , Sat Jul 06, 2013 7:52 pm

Reckon it would work on alloys just fine. But it is permanent. Worst case scenario key the alloys first.

#73 by animal , Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:42 pm

It would work fine on alloys , just as said above key them up well before spraying.

#74 by animal , Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:45 pm

The old hilux surf went to it's new owner yesterday so with 2500 spare monies I thought I'd treat myself ,
I've booked in to have a twin exit (one either side of the bed ) stainless exhaust made next week , and today I picked up a new flip out head unit and reversing camera .

#75 by animal , Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:47 pm

Oh and a full closure cat 1 alarm and immobiliser fitted to secure it all .
What to do next .... I don't know .... Might spray the alloys and fit alloygators...
