Painting Chrome bumper caps on my 2021 Toyota Tacoma

Heres a video on how I color matched my chrome rear bumper caps

[@joshuabeiswenger2141]

Great video! I do have a few quick tips. If you remove the tail light that hard to remove clip you can touch it. So I removed with a screwdriver and put it back on just by hand. Also I dangled my tailgate by the cables which also made some clips very easy to access. Just thought I toss this info out. My second bumper cap only took me 5 min to do after I learned these tricks. Good luck 😎😎

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

What a great tip! Appreciate the input.

[@klong024]

At what point was just removing the friggin bumper step cover such a hassle? Nah, lets dismantle everything else surrounding the bumper! You might as well take the truck bed off so you can get easier access 🤣🤣

[@allalala94]

That is some slick color matching skillz! Way to go bro!

[@joser5735]

FINALLY a good video on the bumper caps. Good job man looks sick

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thank you! Hope it helps!

[@allamikheyev2162]

Wow! Great job on that bumper man! Excited to see more vids!

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thank you! Oh there will be more! Thanks for the support

[@raybruce9522]

Excellent job I was thinking of doing the same thing. Thanks for posting.

[@Keef_Chief86]

It is way easier to remove the bumper bolts, except two, and let the bumper pivot downward. It allows plenty of access to the two trim clips and the metal retainer that are behind the bumper.

[@ruicarreiro7539]

Hey there, looks way better. Question, did you re-install the retaining clips or leave out? I installed my new caps but I could not get those clips back in.

[@sookis1549]

Looks great and this was a good tutorial, thanks!

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@DimitriBoss]

I love the details on the clip removal process.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks you! It was an important aspect of this video as some of the tabs and clips are hidden. This way you do not need to remove the entire bumper.

[@DimitriBoss]

Can’t beat it

[@CPeez98]

Did you put that metal retaining clip back on? Or leave that one out and just use all the rivets?

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

I smashed my passenger side1 replacing soon with Body Armor rear bumper!

[@tomman2261]

Great video. Just curious on what size tires and rims are you running and what loft of any?

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

315/70/17. 3” front 1” rear lift

good Job

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for watching

[@JL-ek2ks]

I have the exact same truck and I just ordered these I can’t wait to get them on!

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Nice, did you order the caps that go on top of the originals or full replacements?

[@DarthPat1977]

Looks great! Nice attention to detail of removal, but, did you reinstall the metal clips?

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes all the original hardware was reinstalled

[@LEFFEL77]

So how do get all those clips back in that were hard to get out?

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

So I just used some long nose pliers to get those back in.

[@hectorrivera6624]

Is that color coded paint and if so, where you got it from?

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Yes color code, most custom paint shops should be able to make it for you in a can.

[@kingoutdoors3943]

What lift/tire setup are you running

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Fox 2.5 Suspension 3" front 2" rear with 315/70/17 BFG KO2 Tires on Method 309 GRID wheels.

How the he'll did you get the retaining pin back on?

[@reatanak]

Every video I’ve seen seems to skip that part. Prob for a reason. I still haven’t put mines back in. Seems impossible unless you take out that whole housing.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

There's really no easy way to put it back on, just had to squeeze in there with some needle nose pliers and slide it back on.

[@The_hustletown_PA-C]

Mine fell in...charged to the game lol...maybe they still in there..said screw it

David I backed into a pole in my 2021 tacoma need new tail light crome end cap+the black plastic assembly behind it where is the best place online to buy these pieces ?,thanks so much

Hey sorry to hear about that. I would checkout eBay!

I backed into a pole and haven't even had mine a whole month God bless you

[@miken7375]

Got all the piece on Amazon , light installed and the black piece behind the outer crome ,will do the crome next

Was one can enough to do both caps?

Yes one can was enough

[@flyingblowsify]

@@DavidsYotaOffRoad yes it was! I already did this and they came out great.

Fox 2.5 shocks, method 309 rims, BFGoodrich KO2 315/70/17 tires.

Local custom paint shop, they either do a color match or you give them the paint code.

You can now by stick on covers that go over them

[@luisechevarria4182]

Came out nice but those silvers don’t match at all on camera. Maybe it’s different in person

Thanks. This is true, gave them the original 1H5 Cement color code but it’s still slightly off. Can’t really tell while driving though lol

[@ogfktup]

Not really a color match but close

[@robertcampbell1994]

It is color matched to code. Its just a tad brighter bc it has not sat in UV rays yet from the sun. Don't hate for no reason, man. Life is too short for that kind of shit.

[@ogfktup]

@@robertcampbell1994 how was I hating? Just pointing out the obvious.

[@DavidsYotaOffRoad]

Yeah slightly off and eventually looks the same with some sun.

[@slimetimefishing4782]

doesnt really match but close enough i guess,rather just get proffessionals to get the exact color n do it

[@America1st69]

I noticed that too but like all Millennials he will get tired of the pickup and he'll get rid of it

@@DavidsYotaOffRoad Chrome never bothered anyone on Toyota pickups in the 1970s 80s and 1990s

[@klong024]

Thats because until the 2000s it was actually still a metal bumper and it made sense that it was chrome to prevent rust. A chrome piece of plastic looks cheap... I don't blame him.
