    I wouldn't use heat on the paint even as a last resort.

    I don't understand what you're trying to say. That using a heat gun on paint is an equally viable option as a hair dryer?

    I skipped that part lol. After the fishing line it takes a little while to pick the extra tape off. I did not use a heat gun, it was muggy/80 degrees out and the badges have been on for two years. I just picked the tape off. It's a bitch. But if you go slow you can get a decent amount off at a time.

    As for the TRD logos on the bed, just pick those off and use WD-40 to get the glue off.

    Again. No heat heat gun used. Just a little time and beer.

    It's from Dezert Toy Fabrication. Type-C bumper. They're a vendor on here. It's made very well.

    Was a bit bored, so ran the MX cable up the A pillar. Now just have to figure out if I want to mount it in the top right hand corner or by the rear view mirror. Decisions decisions decisions.

    Look great! I ordered mine a few weeks ago, and this is making me more antsy to get them put on. How long did it take to get yours?

    It about an hour to weld them up, but that was for Jerry to install them. I'm sure would take a little bit longer for someone without the experience and tools that he has.

    The priming and painting took a lot longer. If I were to do it again, I would pay to have them powder coated.

    Has anyone ever painted the bottom grey portion of the stock bumper? If so was it easy or should i just leave it alone.

    I've seen a bunch of people on here either paint and or dip the lower valence. I would love for mine to be gloss jet black.
