Before and After of my mall crawler…

Just wanted to update what I’ve done within a year of having my first Taco. Trying to keep it simple:

1. Chrome delete interior/exterior

2. tinted windows

3. vinyl wrapped front grille emblem (no pro grille for me)

4. plasti dipped my wheels. (Took about 6 hrs and 3 cans.)

5. Removed bed decals. (Blow dryer and goo gone 30 min each side.)

6. Replaced OEM side mirror blinkers with blackout High Flying blinkers.

7. Front/rear OEM style camera by FITCAMX

8. added Fas-Top Traveller Combo

 

Wheels look righteous

 

I found a graphene ceramic coating on Amazon with 9+ years of protection. It's a very small bottle, but a little bit goes a long way. I applied to all of the exterior except for the grill guard. I coated the wheels, grill guard, windows, you name it. It only took about 1/3 of the bottle.

I ceramic all my cars. I’ve never seen any last that long. Even with meticulous prep prior to coating I get about 2 years tops. I have about 12 hours in prep prior to coating, and my truck had less than 200mi on it at the time.

 

I pasted the Vinyl overlar decals... It is I think to give me an idea of the view and next plastidip or paint... I like it.. If you looks close it looks the chrome and so... but it was easy and cheap way to make a decision...

 

Damn, those wheels look good after the plasti-dip!

 

Nice rig. Any photos with the Topper up?
