    I have a paint pen and it works ok for chips, but for scratches like that, the dr color chip works great at getting the color in the scratch itself and not on the surrounding paint so it's less visible. In my experience a paint pen will bring it to about a 6/10, dr color chip can get it to a 9/10. Its a little more expensive, but in my opinion worth it. I have them for my other car, and my previous car.

    Looks great! How was the install? I assume there is bumper trimming involved?

    There was. Not nearly as terrible or scary as it may seem, but yeah, a wizzer wheel on my Dremel was required.
    Lots of aluminum and plastic removed when the new bumper was installed that's for sure!!

    I bought a set of used fox 2.0 coilovers, and reached out to Fox to see about the rebuild process. I guess technically it's something I did for my 3rd gen, but I'm going to count it. Before the taco I hadn't changed out my DD in 8.5 years so its fun to have this little project.

    Now I just have to figure out something to use to cover up their logo. No country for this truck, it's pure metal! ☠️

    Having a bed cap (camper shell) is the best solution for utilizing the available space with a 5’ or 6’ bed no doubt. I bought a Diamondback SE early on, which I really like, but after adding the Cross Bin realized the bed wasn’t going to be very useful. After seeing the Alu-Cab on a couple Tacos I wonder if that would have been a better option.

    I'm in the same camp. I have a Diamondback HD, Front Runner racks, and Skycamp Mini that I'm going to sell off in favor of getting a Super Pacific X1.

    Realized the shop replaced the entire SPC arms rather than just the bushings.

    (I know, it’s what I get for not doing the work myself)
