    I had my AP bumper on the front of my truck Line X'd and added a G2 bed cover on the back.
    i'm very happy with both!!

    they charged me $100.00.
    i removed the bumper and put it back on.
    the cell pic does not do it justice. i really like the texture.
    the original powder coat was peeling bad. the guy hit it with a high preasure
    air hose and it was coming off in sheets. under the powder coat was patches of
    rust that could not be seen until the powder coat was removed.

    he did the bumper inside and out. sealing it from water and air.
    line x is some tough stuff. it will not crack or peel. even under impact.

    How do you like the AP bumper? I just ordered one and am waiting on delivery. Sometimes i wish i would have just waited and got a Relentless Fab one. I've heard they are tricky to get together/lined up and you might not be able to use your factory skid plate/splash guard. Seems kinda shitty, especially when you spend all that $$$

    i like the AP. I was not happy with the factory finish. it carries a tight line around the body of the truck and matches all the way around . my skid plate matches up perfect.

    one thing that makes it easier to mount. attach the bottum of the AP bumper first and seperate from the top half. the factory tow hook on the Tacoma makes it near impossible to mount the bumper fully assembled.

    once the bottum section is mounted, leave the bottum bolts loose until the top half is on and bolted. you may need to adjust the bottum half as you set the top.

    once the entire AP is tighten up it is extremely solid.
