    Thank you. Lurk I do. New to the taco scene. This forum is great entertainment full of knowledge. Got the truck last fall. Traded in a ram for a better all around family truck for the farm and trails after my son was born. Used to be big in the jeep world. Built and bashed a lot of trail rigs. My heart is still with jeeps. Got rid of the toys and got a beautiful wife, son and house. Eventually the taco will see some mods. Love the truck.

    Got my SOS sliders powder coated (Live Wire Powder Coating LLC Wilmington, NC) and mounted up last Friday. Pretty bad ass I must say.

    Eddy at SOS has a solid product and I'm proud to have them on my truck.

    During the powder coating process they had issues with the coating "blowing out". Essentially pressure would build up inside the tubing and find the smallest pinhole in the welds and create a visible difference. The shop re-coated the sliders 3 times before they asked if they could drill a few small weep holes to let the pressure out. After that, the 4th coating looks flawless. They did an awesome job.
