    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

    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. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B099KN8Z22?ie=UTF8

    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...
