    I've asked this before, I know. Ive noticed that after 13k miles, besides the scratches on the Black Fenders, its also pitted something awful. I saw bushwacker has some new flares but im not into the shiny screws on them and they look larger then stock, like taller. Im thinking of dipping or rhino lining the stockers. Our base has a paint booth too. Im just checking to see if options are out there.

    Yep, one month into ownership and a bush in the desert made my fender flares it's bitch.

    I gave up. It is character.


    Interested to see though if you find a solution to making them look like new or reinforcing.

    Ha, you should see the ones on my sport. Rocks did a number on the paint and it's quite pitted and dented up. Only after I noticed that did I get the bright idea to get some mudflaps. *Face palm.

    $145.40 for a 1 Gallon Kit. Might as well pull my pants down, bend over a table and bite a wooden stick! J/k thats a possibility. Id like to get a fender piece from someones wrecked Taco and test it before I pull mine off and ruin them.

    Think I saw that. Was it a aftermarket steel bumper? Not a fan of that one. The black fenders just stop at the bumper and looks weird. Owner might like it though so whatevs...

    Let us know what a retail Line-X price is, you pull the part and take it to them.

    Same for a body shop repaint. Not Macco, a real body shop.

    Be interesting to see how those compare.

    Guessing a gallon would do several sets. A smaller amount might be in order?
