I dig the MIC on the Badlands because it matches the grill and even the beauty ring on the optional wheels. In several years I may go retro and paint it and the grill white - and even the inside top roll bars. Would also add white dog dish steelies. But that’s down the road. For now I’m gonna...
Still looking forward to seeing this color on a vehicle with my own eyes. There are a few 2021 trucks with AMB enroute to my local dealers. Just not here yet.
Yeah, my wife really digs how that finish matches the grill and even the optional wheels on Badlands. Not sure yet about the fender flares. Would be cool if those matched as well.
It’s very tempting to throw a ton of money at this thing as soon as I take delivery to paint the top and grill white, buy the wheels, etc. I really dig the stock look for my future Badlands too.
Torn, but I must resist. The retro style could be an excellent way to give it a new (old) look in...
I wonder if it would be possible to put a dog dish hub cap on that wheel. Would then be perfect for that 1968 look. Paired with a white top of course ;)
Back in the early ‘80’s I had a Toyota 4X4 Pickup. Whenever I went off road I would lock the hubs on the front wheels. I always assumed I wasn’t in four wheel drive unless I did. It’s been so long. Maybe a foundational misunderstanding on my part?
2-Door, 2.7, 10-Spd, 33” M/T, AMB, Lux for me. The weeks keep ticking by. My reservation is dated 7/14. Wish I could fast forward to June of ‘21. Would be amazing if by some miracle it showed up sooner.
[EDIT] IMHO, your analogy doesn’t hold water. It’s not like a caliper “cover” is trying to fool anyone more than a hub cap covering a plain steel wheel. To each his own, though...
Thanks for the help there! My aging eyes ain’t what they used to be.
We can check calipercovers.com in about 6 months and they should have options for us according to their owner. This looks a lot less complicated than disassembling and painting ;)
I mentioned this in the Badlands thread - if you did yellow brake calipers it would bring the exterior together with the yellow accent on the inside (as well as the BL badge).
