I’ve thought about that, tan or FDE. Not sure how it would hold up to trail pin-stripping.

 

You can live in a car but you can't live in a grill

 

trust me, when you have a toddler who wants to rip apart everything, you do what you can to distract lol

 

Can’t really relate, but I did get to barrow my niece and nephew from time to time when they were that age.

 

Lots of people do it to protect your paint.

 

theres chrome in the center caps...

 

Definitely a thought. Already have lots of pinstripes, and a few chips it is 17 years old after all.

 

Seems like it would be about the same price wrap vs bed liner.

 

Bed liner looks funny

 

True, it does have sort of an orange peel texture. Any ideas on the longevity of a wrap? I don’t have any plan to ever sell this truck, I only have 106k for mileage. If anything I’d get a dd to keep the miles down.

 

Can attest to any Toyota with the 2gr-fe v6 being a bulletproof engine and pretty safe cars.
Avoid Camry 4 cylinders with the 2.4 2007 and up, they burn oil like a mofo



Also the v6 is an underestimated ball of an engine

 

<bedliner

 

Soooooo my mothers Ford Flex timing chain is finally getting done.




Kill me

 

Bet

Plus bed liner would be a bitch to get off without ruining the paint, if that were even possible. A wrap can come off without harming the paint, correct?

 

I don’t think the beings removable was ever mentioned as a perk of bed liner. Plus, if you put it on right, you ruin the paint

 

I haven't thought much about it yet, trying to focus on getting rid of some debt before I do...but when the time comes I'm thinking I might try and go with something economical but new, so I can get a warranty with it. Last thing I really want is to get something used that I'm going to have to work on, my truck keeps me busy enough with that.

But economical and new doesn't always coincide with 'safe' so I'll have to do some research and probably compromise on either the economical or new part of the equation, I dunno.

 

yeah that's what I was thinking, I had to scuff the hell out of my bed when I applied my bedliner. I figured since he said his paint was still in good shape, he wasn't looking to ruin it. I understand bed lining it if your paint is looking like hell already

 

As someone who has done that. It's possible and you don't have to strap it down really. Cause the seat has to be moved all the way up and it wedges the car seat. Figured that out when my sister's car broke down and I went to help her when my niece was about a year old.

My niece is pretty cool for a 4 year old she likes going offroading.

 

Cant take bed linner off. Wraps will peel off like a sticker

 

Bedliner the wrap,




I’m a genius
