    You could get the heat shrinkable butt splices and hit it was some electrical tape

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Don’t lineX it. Prime that bitch and lay some color on it. You can do it!

    If you're looking for a solid base, I've had great luck with Yakima. A bit spendy but worth it. Had one on my 91 and have the same set up, plus the shell on my 97

    I buy materials to paint the damn truck and now the green decides to start lookin pristine!!! I decided on the black raptor liner but debating on putting a coat of clear over it after the liner to get a nice shine back so im interested to see how it goes

    Rhino the inside of the bed and clear coat the original paint after you touch it up then put a 20k price tag on it

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Off topic but what LED's did you buy for your sealed beams and are they worth it? I need some for my Econoline 350 motorhome because the stock ones suck at night! But I don't know which good ones are out there to buy because there's so many! @BensYota

    Partsam 2PCS Rectangle H6054 LED Headlights 5x7 7x6 Headlamp Hi/Low Sealed Beam H4 9003 Plug 6054 H5054 Compatible with Chevy S10 Blazer Express Van, Jeep Wrangler YJ XJ Cherokee Truck Ford Van https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXJD0Y7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Vt5mDbG41KAX5

    These are the ones i have! They were more expensive when i purchased them but they are all relatively the same anyway. But these are a HUGE upgrade from the stock headlights. *Note* These are "plug and play" but i had to switch the wiring around to get them to work and basically i only have brights and "low beams" but are more like DRLs IMO, ill post night pics to try and show brightness. I love these lights and would 100% buy again, any brand "should" be good just do a little background research it shouldn't be hard to find several with very good reviews!

    You should also check out Genssi LED.. on Amazon they're 100 each but I think they're worth it.. I've used the cheap led headlights before and you can tell the difference. For me it's a 'you get what you pay for' type of deal with LEDs

    I finally figured out how to share pictures on my mom's new computer, so here's my truck's rust, my dad's truck's rust, and my goat under my bedliner! The rust inside my bed isn't that bad, but the rust on the outside will need cut out! I sure hope my dad's friend knows what to do! As you can see, the front fenders are fine.IMG_7284.jpg IMG_7282.jpg IMG_7287.jpg IMG_7280.jpg IMG_7281.jpg IMG_7279.jpg IMG_7283.jpg IMG_7273.jpg IMG_7275.jpg IMG_7277.jpg
