Hey guys,
First one by the looks of it, the dark side I suppose lol. So here's the beginning of my 4x2 workmate petrol manual. Something a bit different perhaps to all the 4x4 hiluxes?
I wanted a colour matched aluminium tray which the dealer didn't want to do, no worries got them to drop me off a tray to my workshop where I assembled/disassembled it and took it round to get painted.
First pic of the project ever, I had to remove all stickers and I disassembled the tray sides for painting (they come assembled)
Painted tray assembled ready for me to take to dealer, replaced all normal zinc plated M6 bolts in tray sides with stainless ones too.
The party bus in dealer pre-delivery shed when I dropped off tray.
So whats the plan? First was the colour matched genuine aluminium HD tray. I got the dealer to do colour matched bumper and fit SR5 foglamps into bumper. Dealer is also putting a nudge bar on. Dealer kindly fitted genuine chrome mirror cover and handles as seen in photo if you look closley, the back caps are on back order.
Next to do once i get it is fit the projector SR5 style lights and full chrome grille and replace the black bonnet lip with a sr5 chrome one. Later i'll be tracking down some toyota 5 stud alloy wheels for it too.
I dont have the hilux yet so will put a pic up when I get it, hopefully should look good with all the gear on it. Tray paint is supposedly two pack paint with the appropriate primer for the aluminium/galvo parts.
