    Do you have any for a gen 2 ready? I guess what I'm asking is if i place an order in the morning, how long would it be before they shipped? Thanks.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I have bare metal ones ready to go and we're powder coating a batch this Friday.

    Powder coating what color, the black coal that is listed on your site? If I get the bare metal ones, do I need to rough them up any before painting? What prep work would you recommend? I will be putting in an order for 'TACOMA' in the morning, just not sure if I should wait on the powder coated ones or not... Thanks for the info!

    Yeah black coal is the color. As for prep just a light sanding would be all you need to do to prep for paint. 320 grit paper just to give the paint something to bite onto.
