    I have been considering buying sliders just for this. I dont plan on doing any offroading any time soon but park in a parking garage daily. I always check my doors after work for dings.

    Took her to the stealership for some fluids. The only good thing about that is the free wash. One less thing I have to do on my day off...

    I used regular Automotive Touchup Paint in a rattle can Primer, base coat, clear no problem yet. The cover is not over a direct source of heat like a exhaust manifold and it is not touch anything but the intake manifold. the cover has some insulation on the under side.

    Thanks. They are the same wheels as the Texas edition, but here in Arkansas it's a TSS.

    I do not think they were rusty since it only has 36k miles and from living in Arkansas. I can take better pictures tonight.

    Thank you.

    I like the look. I did my whole front in MGM stoneguard and it's great for rock hits. Never thought about the lower side panels, but that's a great idea.

    I did polish, still dull as heck and some of it wouldn't come off. I was told to use nu finish as anything else would remove any possible protective coating. but boy is it tempting to remove and use high grit sand paper and some sort of clear coat then maybe a clear vinyl on top. I protect them from the elements every winter but that didn't stop them from getting brown/red/and crusty

    Even if they are a little rusty, you could wire brush them and rattle can um. IDK why I like the tacos without center caps so much, but i do!

    Yeah I got the idea with no center caps since I think they stick out a lot, and it would give it a different look.
