What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

10k miles on my stock fails & I still don't get why everyone hates em... When aired down to 18-20 psi they wrap around rocks , stay on top of sand & handle fairly well...?
Maybe I'm just that green & will be blown away with a set of different ones?

 

Is this the kit?

I would suggest Monstaliner, it has a 5 year UV rating. It's a 2 part product that roll's on so you don't have to worry about the spray on. The roller is textured and gives it that look.

Here it is on Mag Grey:

 

Yeah that's what I wanna do. Herculiner type stuff.

 

Herculiner is horrible. It's just chunks of rubber in a slurry. It is rubbery and fades quickly in the sun....there is a topical UV protection product for it but there is no warranty.

 

Damn....I don't want that shit.

Mine has held up to SoCal Desert sun and the constant sand blasting a LT truck throws at it. It has been well worth the price/install.

 

Looks great on the bed rails! Especially good for preventing those rusty spots people get where the rail covers make contact. Curious on how the actual bed coat will hold up...I have seen people ask about lining the composite bed before and someone always says it wont hold up since the fiberglass composite doesn't allow the bedliner to adhere like a metal bed would.

 

painted my headlights. Introducing the RHLM

Red HeadLight Mod!!!

 

Now your white truck will have superhero goggles! Interested to see final product!

 

May depend on the product, here is the info on Monstaliner

What surfaces will Monstaliner bond to?
Monstaliner will bond to most clean/dry surfaces, including painted or primed steel, wood and fiberglass. Prepping the surface is critical for best results. See the “Installation Guide” included with the kit.

 

Sweet jammies. Why is one foot so much shorter than the other?

 

How grippy is the surface?

 

It's not grippy in a rubbery way, it has a texture to the material. It feels like a less textured version of Linex.

 

So it's a little slick?

 

It's going to look like your truck smoked WAY too much weed. It might look good on a red truck, but on a white truck...

You did a nice job with the paint though. I don't have the balls to put my headlights in an oven. And, if I did, my wife would likely have my balls for putting my headlights in her oven.

 

Sure, it's hard and textured.

If you are looking for a Rhino type coating that's sticky/grippy this is not.

 

thats the stuff but the kit i got comes with the spray gun and its a 4 pk. if u go to U-pol.com (or something like that) they have both black and tintable 4 pack +gun kits for like $119 or so i found mine on ebay. it didnt come in the original box but ive yet to see any cardbord that was worth $20. u can roll it on too, but the only negative review ive ever read on this stuff was done with a roller. as far as wind, do u not have a shop or garage or access to one? i did mine outside because it was 95* and like 130% humidity yesterday and i was greatful for the breezes. i did have a tractor shed to my imidiate north and south west also that block a good bit of the wind.

 

people linex their fender flares with little to no problems right? i realize fender flares dont have stuff loaded and slid around on them but ill definately keep a condition update periodically. i posted this in cheap/free mods and also started a thread call "raptor liner" and the latter will most likely be where i update.

 

I put in a tonneau pro tri-fold tonneau cover today. No pics yet. Tomorrow or the next day it will be a pop and lock tailgate lock.
