    Took the whole exhaust off and decided to clean, dry, sand, and paint the entire exhaust, including this Magnaflow muffler. The muffler had some rust spots, which I assume is from the salt and other chemicals placed on these Colorado roads in the winter.

    Welding round things sucks . . .probably b/c I'm an amateur welder at best.

    Next up . . . . reroute the low hanging crossover exhaust pipe (y-pipe), so it isn't the lowest part of the vehicle, which keeps getting scraped.

    Plasti-dip'd the emblems. Still amazed how easy this was to do. I just hope it lasts through car washes, etc.

    Nice rig man!:cool:

    I especially liked the black fenders and modified bumper.

    I have a white Taco and it needs something done to the fenders, I was contemplating the same treatment from a rattle can, but yours looks sooo nice.

    Thanks man. If you're looking for a less costly solution, you could roll Herculiner on your fenders. I'd take them off the vehicle first. The herculiner will cost less than Rhinolining or LineX, but it will still last longer than anything from a rattle can. You'd just have to do the work yourself. THe Herculiner will fade from UV exposure, though, unless you spray on a UV clear (rattle can would be fine then).

    When you had the fenders Rhinolined, did they remove them first? From what I've seen on other posts, it looks tricky to remove the fenders without breaking the retention clips (and they cost $$ to replace)
