    It will be, but I'm not going to put it on for winter if I don't need it. I'm mainly going to drive it 10 minutes to work so I doubt the fan would even come on.

    Thanks for counting on me . So apparently 5 pretty thick coats and 8 hours of dry time don't do very good... The whole think peeled off...

    Okay I've learned a lot though!
    Very thin coats 30 minutes a part.
    Peel after about 20 minutes from last coat.
    Have an overspray area of the truck that is larger so I have something to grab when peeling. Be patient.
    Thank God for plasti dip.

    To be honest dip didn't work for shit on my rear emblems. I used a heat gun to take them all off, and spray painted them. Same with my sides.

    Yeah, my first experience with dip sucked. Made me hate the product. I just used it for my gas lock cylinder because I was too lazy to properly prep the chrome for paint.

    Same for me, never could get it to stick. Ended up using vinyl for the rear.

    Take all your badges off. Badges are no good imo. Looks cleaner without.

    Soo when I let my truck idol, or just stop at a light, there's a constant whine/hum coming from the passenger side, at least that's what it sounds like, it's stop when I move the wheel. Anyone know what it could be?

    Washed the first week of salt off of it :/ and finally temporarily fixed the sagging front bumper after I took this pic, still needs work but it'll do for now. But at least there's no more clunking from the bumper hitting the fenders! :D Also, really hate stock Toyota steelies :( can't wait for the summer set to go back on. Only 5 months to go :annoyed:
