    It is not hard. Which version are you thinking about doing?

    If you saw a Gen 3 with a mirror like finish it most likely would have been ceramic coated to achieve those results.

    It is not hard to apply if you do it out of direct sunlight and take your time prepping the truck. The results will be great and you will save yourself lots of money and make it easier to keep your truck looking like new.

    Thank you @Dpilotpaul for purchasing one of my, most likely final, license plate brackets. Glad I am not the only one that hates the big fugly plastic stock bracket. Much cleaner appearance.

    I like it and I don't like. I like it that it definitely sounds a lot better than with the factory head unit even with the factory speakers and makes it "feel" more modern but I don't like it that the cluster screen lost a lot of its function though I knew that before getting the aftermarket head unit.

    Gave it a pretty detailed bath for 3 hours in the morning Texas sun. For how dirty it was, it sure cleans up well!

    I love the look and that’s is exactly what I want for my truck. Will you be so kind to share where with me where I can find those steelies and center caps? Thank you in advance.

    I spotted your JD Auto-Connect. Wish I could get those Load-n-Go ramps for mine. :thumbsup: Shed for the 2025R?

    Unloaded and back to its rake
    upload_2023-9-10_10-21-27.jpgupload_2023-9-10_10-22-3.jpgAll 12 pavers unloaded and placed
    upload_2023-9-10_10-23-13.jpgNow I can put a Rubbermaid storage shed on there without any critters digging through
    I still need more pavers but didn’t want to stress the truck (and my back) on its maiden hauling voyage. That footprint will fit the structure for now and I’ll swing by Blowes on the way home from work this week and pickup some more for the entry

    Tires look awesome.

    Re: brakes: I've come from a history of driving tuners with beefed up brakes for aggressive driving and never thought the tacos brakes were that good, even fully stock. Then after I went to 33's I found the stock brakes incredibly inadequate and downright scary. Quickly swapped in the powerstop z23 evolution kit with pads and rotors and they were a little better than stock when hot, but zero bite cold (which is weird because they have tons of bite on every other car I've run them on). I prefer pads with a lot of bite, so I then changed to their z36 pads and now the truck finally feels like it has proper brakes. No noticeable dust on my te's either. Been very happy for the last 6k miles on this setup and multiple times a month I'm glad I upgraded to the z36 pads with all the idiot drivers out here.
