    Yeah but I don't think the clear coat was all that great. The paint color looks virtually identical though

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Gotta buff the clear, no clear looks great without the first cut and buff

    How much paint did you go through on the fender? My driver fender has rotten clear coat. It's bugging the shit out of me, but there's no way in hell I'm paying a shop to spray it... They'll never match the faded scratches around the rest of the truck.

    Installed All Pro Standards this weekend. Compared to the dakars I was running, the truck feels much more composed and planted on the road. Couldn't be happier with them.

    Spliced my front diff breather in to the breather line I ran up in to my engine compartment for my rear diff.

    Greased my UBJs and tie rod ends.

    Cleaned up some of the aftermath of my garage from doing the 4x swap last weekend.

    Cleaned up the A340E to post on Craigslist.

    Quick question for v6 double cabs with armor.
    Are you running 600lb springs or would 650 lb springs be better?
