    I spoke to Matt few weeks back, great guy to talk to! He answered all my questions and then some regarding the panels, I'll definitely be ordering some! He mentioned some new designs/patters, looking forward to seeing them!

    If I wheeled (which is a big if), I would Line-X.

    The stickers/magnets are a cool idea but they need to be paint matched. I’m not putting ugly AF black magnets on my white truck.

    Plus why no protection for the incredibly expensive gas door?

    I don't know. I just bought a new Silver Sky '19 SR week before last so I don't see any Line-X in my future.

    Probably not Line-X

    I doubt I would Line-X the entire truck but the lower panels where rocks will chip the paint off I may do that. No re-paint for sure.

    If I wheeled all Line-X
    I’m not losing sleep over a scratched paint job (not anymore than I do).

    My bedsides are scratched and my hood and front fenders are dinged. As soon as this truck retired to become a true garage queen I may fork up the couple grand to repaint. Or just the panels I need redone.

    I just use the truck too much to keep up with keeping him spotless.

    You're rocking Super White. You don't have much to worry about unless you drag a tree along the side. :D

    I did enjoy buffing out some light pinstripes. I have another round to do, but I might wait for spring on those.

    Some big, ugly magnets would be sweet. I do have a couple way up by the fuel door.

    Allow me to actually contribute....in addition to my sweet dance skills.

    This is what the OP was talking about, since he's a little light on details.

    That looks great to me for some temporary protection.

    Yupeer its a good start...did mine when I undercoated it..PIA to get the line straight....but well worth the effort...and to be honest really dont care about looks on the trails, tired of compounding out the damn pin stripes..

    Hey Bill glad you posted some pictures. I was thinking about how high I would go up the side of the truck with the Line-X. I was thinking to the top of that indent just below the Tacoma emblem. Your's looks fine where you drew the line though. :thumbsup: A place in town does this for a dealership on new trucks. It is not the Line-X brand but something just as good. Not Rhino lining either. Forget the name of the product at the moment. Anyhow...Looks good.

    The goat armor looks interesting but why not include the rear view mirrors and fuel lid. Either way, it's too expensive at $400

    Is that a one time install or are you replacing annually? I hit the mountains and get fine scratches which I hate and wanted to do a part-time clear side shield that goes on in September and comes off in May when I done hunting.
