    new to the tacoma world. Always had a full size and it took a little bit to bite the bullet but I'm glad I did! The manual tranny is so worth it and nothing turns heads like a QS!

    One thing I am eager to do is get rid of my chrome bumper and make it matching or black. Any suggestions?

    If he’s referring to the back bumper it should be metal.

    I've only heard of the ecoological place. My only worry is having to take it off and clean underneath in the winter multiple times when they put all that bs on the roads! I feel like it would all get clogged in the little cracks. You're from Iowa too and you know they ain't stingy!!

    Yep damn good point! I've been thinking quite a bit about doing the fluid film rustproofing here soon. I'd probably just go with powder coat. PlatiDip over the chrome might not be such a good idea either then.

    You bet. I'm keeping my options open. Only had the truck a few weeks so I have plenty time to decide what I wanna do!
