    New to the Tacoma World forum and new to owning a Tacoma. I have had two Jeep Wranglers over the years, and have decided that i wanted something about the same size as a Jeep but with a bed. So i bought this Tacoma. Its a 2017 DCLB Off-Road in Magnetic Grey. So far im loving it.

    I haven't had a chance to read through your full build thread yet. Do you have a write up of how and what you used to coat your grill and bumper? This is something i would like to do.

    Thanks, Spencer

    It truly is, and the internet makes it even smaller lol. Thanks, the duratracs are great and really changed the look of the truck.

    I just used plastidip to cover both the grill and the bumper end caps. I can give you a hand pulling everything apart and painting yours sometime. Actually, I am supposed to be getting a new grill insert soon and wouldn't mind trading my already painted grill for your unpainted one.
