    I finally installed mine last weekend. I was by myself and they were easy enough to do.

    I used a couple of shop stools as padded jacks to hold them up (front and rear).

    I used Appolo 2 part epoxy bedliner on them. This stuff took three days to cure, but it is as hard as steel.

    The finished product:

    They have already passed the 'mall test', as I found a shopping cart resting against the driver's side step bar. They also appear to attract more than shopping carts, as I also found a group of guys standing around the truck at the Beer Store yesterday. This weekend they will be put to the 'logging road' test, as I have to go in and survey winter damage from this years minor ice storm. I could take the 4 wheeler, but hey... I have a Taco!

    Thanks, Brandon, for the great product!

    Your right :) those do look great and congrats on a job well done. You might consider black/crinkle black for your skid plate. Nice truck :):):) I put my Relentless rear plate bumper by myself .....It was a bitch.
