    I was lucky enough to get rear ended and my usual body shop replaced the Chrome with the painted, was all the same price which is all the insurance company was concerned about

    But I painted my grille with rattle can dupli color (adhesion promoter, primer, paint, clear) and I'd say go for It. Not that hard, worst case you need some wet sanding to smooth out the clear.

    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    I think it's acetone that will take it off.

    It definitely will take it off but it will also make the plastic lighter in color. If you do use acetone to only hit the white spots.

    Got a gift card from my wife for Christmas and ordered a set of N-Fab Rock Rails for my AC Prerunner. They came in yesterday and I installed them, along with a set of steps, this afternoon.

    Had a remote starter installed today (Astrostart). Was an x-mas present from my wife. It will be nice to have a warmed up truck during these cold winter mornings.

    You have to grease the wheel nuts before you put them back on. It's a good practice for every nut/bolt. SOP for military vehicles.

    I just put in a Magnaflow catback exhaust and raised my rear view mirror, thanks to user: ImMrYo. Now my truck is louder and I can see out of the front windshield.
