Truck looks great. Maybe we should plan a PNW meetup so you can show us all you guys have done to you rigs?

I'm actually going to be down that way later this week/weekend. We're having a Lone Peak Camper hang out close to Wynoochee Lake. It's for LP owners rather than Tacomas but if you're around pm me and I can send you the coordinates. I'm thinking of going down Thursday night and coming home on Saturday sometime.

Best way to remove those dealership plaques/stickers?

When I removed those Trailhawk hood stickers you just let them sit out in the sun. Then bring them into the garage and they peel right off. For all the Tacoma ones like by the bed that I removed it was a heat gun on low. Mine did not leave residue but if it does then I use goo gone and a micro fiber towel.

Had something similar done. It's from beyondwraps for the 4th gen tacoma. Ghost topography lines so the paint is the lines

That came out great too. You did the roof too I see.

I feel like I'm almost done with my build but I keep finding things to do. Today's little project is a case in point. I've had some matt black vinyl laying around from another ill-fated project from long ago so I decided to see if I could add a center hood stamp. I have no clue what I'm doing so thank goodness for no compound curves. I was prepared to pull it off and throw the whole thing in the trash but I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out...

Good job!

I did. Unfortunately when I ordered the wrap I didn't get enough to do the that rear section. Getting finished Thursday morning

It’s been a year since your post. How is the vinyl holding up?
Was thinkkng that it’s a good spot to put a stick-on solar mat if you want the juice. (Do you need another project? lol)

Still holding up great. Looks exactly like the day I installed it! I use an Adams spray cleaner product designed to clean matt vinyl every month or so and that removes any water spots or impurities and keeps it looking new.

I have 300 watts of solar on top of my Lone Peak so don't need more solar but I've looked at the hood panels and if I was in the market they seem like an easy solution, although I would probably put ppf on the hood before throwing down a magnetic panel just to make sure there's no abrasion over time.

For sure would PPF or use vinyl, although our 4G hoods are aluminum, so a hood solar would use a different stickum.

Good point!
