    The Tacoma bed is glass reinforced resin that is easy to drill and drop riv-nuts into - that's what holds down my bed drawer system:

    Changed cabin and engine air filters, which weren't horrible but not sure when they were last changed.

    Then @chiefcrunchy came to the rescue with a color match bumper to replace the one the deer took out three days after I bought the truck. I had already replaced the bumper supports and headlight and grill so this was the last step in getting back to the state in which I purchased her.

    You sanded?! Nice job, I heard oven cleaner takes chrome off.
    I'm going to put it to the test.

    You should be engaging your 4x4 more often and the e-locker if you have it.
    Time without using them takes an expensive toll!

    I had read that as well. Tried it on my grill emblem with no luck. I ended up using Duplicolor adhesion promoter primer and it has held up well so far, though it's only been about 5 or 6 weeks. It does specifically list chrome as one of the things it will work on though.
