What is the FONT used for TACOMA decals on tailgate?

i just forwarded the link with the vector to the LineX guy so wait and see what he has to say

 

does this look fairly close? ... it seems to be what matches on tailgate
should it be made longer than 17"

 

Damn that looks good; I think the italics on the "A"s look a bit too aggressive (too wide)...other than that it's damn near the same.

 

i checked out my tailgate decals and the "A's" are a bit peculiarly wide
aggressive is a good description lol, the old Tacoma ads from the mid 90s pushed this new breed of compact trucks as 'aggressive' compared to the Rangers and S10s

 

DISREGARD.

I was talking about the emblem, not the decal.

Carry on

 

ROPE HOOKS, the only mod that matters...

i just saw that ... 2nd / 3rd gens are not afflicted with such!
i am shooting for the aggressive rope hook mod look now

 

the finished item, minus the dreaded rope hooks for now
the yellow sticker also had to go, did not want yellow on black it looked wrong

 

Yeah, but what FONT do your ROPE HOOKS use?!

 

I TOOK A PICTURE AND TRACED AND MADE MY TRD DECALS SO THEY MATCH STOCK JUST DIFF COLORS. IM PRETTY SURE THE SAME CAN BE DONE WITH THE TACOMA DECAL

 

the TOYOTA font is a slightly modified Avenir95 font (the stem of the Y is slighly shorter on the toyota decal)



but the TACOMA font is most likely a custom font. It was also used on late 90s - early 00s toyota cars (corolla, camry, echo, avalon)

 

make me some out of aircraft-grade T-304 stainless steel, and put me out of my misery

my brother had a used echo but wrecked it before he even paid it off or had let me drive it

 

Why not T6 Titanium?

Lighter, stronger, doesn't oxidize.

 

My friend's brother has a echo with like 450k kilometers on the clock and it still runs like a charm.

 

well this Line-X job was not what I was expecting
not even a week later and it developed a large baseball size (circumference) bubble
i wonder what the fix for that is going to be?

I had already made an appointment to have the tailgate area modified so the gate will close and open easier as before (too much friction going on there)
... not quite sure what he's gonna tell me about the big bubble ... its normal in the heat and humidity?

 

That sucks. Did you look up reviews on him? Sometimes people have to travel a bit and pay a little extra for known good quality.

 

i had met with him about a half dozen times in person to get the right application (his shop is nearly 25 miles away in the next town), he seemed pretty confident about his work but hadn't really ever seen an old Toyota truck (they only have a chevy and ford dealer in this town where he gets most of his business) but that should not matter if the surface was prepared properly?

 

Dude, lame. No. That's not normal at all. You paid a pretty penny for that Line-X. Take it back and demand a re-do. Sounds like he didn't prep the surface properly.

It sounds like you were already unhappy with the application since the tailgate was hard to close. That's also not normal.

If he resists, or doesn't want to fix it properly, contact Line-X directly and let them know they have a guy that sucks applying their product. They'll get you sorted out.

thanks, I cannot see him resisting to fix it, the bubble could also be why the gate is not closing easily as it popped up near the end where the two meet

 

Got a pic?

 

not a current pic of the bubble, just what the bed surface looked like under the plastic liner that was supposed to be sanded/prepped before the spray
all that was under there was some spotty surface oxidation happening, no perforations (which would explain a bubble popping up?)
