Yes ,Toyota sensor put in by my mechanic . . Truck was at the dealer for 3 days .Going back Next Friday to my guy for the pan drop .

 

At least it's Friday! It better not rain all weekend because I have a painting project I'd like to finish.

 

TGIF

 

Ha ha nice! I've got this one:

 

Took advantage of the nice weather yesterday to continue my painting project ...

What are you using? Just good ol' Rustoleum?

 

Always! I use the self-etching primer and the bed-liner. Goes on easy and has a nice textured finish.

 

Nice. I've used Rustoleum bedliner on a few things. Maybe I spray it too thick but mine is always kind of soft. Been thinking of trying something else but not sure what. Definitely don't plan to use it to line the inside of my fenders once I finish fitting them. I've heard good things about Raptor Liner, and they offer a kit with an electric spray gun.

 

Mine feels like sand paper when it dries. Not so much a pronounced raised texture like Line-X, but low profile and rough to the touch making it great for resisting that natural pinstripping.

 

Yeah. Mine is fairly smooth. You can see there's a little texture to it, but it definitely doesn't feel like sandpaper. I think it's a layer thickness issue. I'm not a patient painter. I tend to hose it on and call it good as long as there aren't a bunch of runs.

It takes a lot to see pinstriping on my truck. Benefit of silver.

 

Silver is probably the best color to hide those stripes. Yeah patience is probably the most important thing in painting.

 

Naw just throw a coat on it will only get scratched by trees n rocks anyways.

 

When you buy things for your Tacoma, sometimes you regret it. Thanks to @stlntaco for providing the outro image!

Did you ever come up up with any good deals for an rtt? I know you asked in one of your videos for anyone knowing of any deals. I'm now in the market to start looking so I figured I'd ask if you came up with anything.

 

I'm still hunting around. A local guy has one of these https://amzn.to/2jekzc1 so I'm going to check it out since it's about half the price of a Tepui of the same size.

 

I haven't really looked into the Smittybuilt ones too hard. Reading through the rtt owners thread they seem to have mixed reviews on them. I'm pretty sure they might not be constructed as well as others but then again they may just not be the flavor of the day. I guess as with anything if I'm paying this much money for something I want to have the customer service to go along with it even if it costs a little more. If something breaks I want to be able to get what I need to fix it.

 

Coming soon!

 

awesome!

 

Can't wait to get them in!
