    What resin do you use? I primered it fairly heavily with shellac primer before painting which I've done once or twice before. Unfortunately this time I'm not getting a very even finish.

    They gave me one. After two days of no communication on tracking or response to my emails, I opened a claim with PayPal. Possibly that got their attention. I was going out of town and had specifically ordered from them due to “ship same day or next”. I was not happy with radio silence until I put the claim in.

    Also the shipping box had a “Tuff Country” logo on it. The Tuff Country website does not appear to offer Bilsteins for the Tacoma however. Maybe same ownership as suspension Connection.

    Got the 35’s on this morning. These Patagonia’s are so much quieter than I thought they’d be.

    Oh yeah I’m sure they will get louder. It was actually between these and the geolanders for me. Those are awesome looking tires as well.

    Got some of the haze off of my head lights. Thinking next time I need to do this I'm just going To buy the TRD PRO version and be done with having to do this every year.

    what product do you use? where do you live? does the truck stay outside in the sun? how often do you polish them?

    Looks good! Just fyi - ChrisFix has a great vid on how to do this and keep your "gainz" without having to redo it annually. My girls and I have done it for each of their vehicles and, two years in, they are still clear.

    Oil change today and tire rotation. Finally ordered some replacement OEM headlights as I am tired of cleaning off haze every other month. Also, ordered the protectant film that goes on the flares as mine is pretty gross for a 10 year old truck. Ordered new fender flare clips as one of my driver’s rear flare has come loose. :facepalm:

    I use Mother's headlight restoration kit that attaches to my impact/drill. Lived in OC, CA all my life and now here in Tampa as of a year ago and I do this about 1 year to ever 1.5 years and truck is outside probably about 70% of the time but usually in some sort of shade if I can help it.

    I'll check this out, thanks!

    Exactly. I was driving down the freeway the other morning and I heard mud tires in between tracks/songs and I looked around for a truck passing me or whatever and nope, mine was the only vehicle near me lol. They were quieter when they first got installed. I don't recall BFG KO/KO2 being like that, it has Goodyears right now.

    Damn I just realized how filthy it is.
