    Also, i dont know if you already have this stuff on the truck or have this in mind, but with that set up you could hold a lot of weight. Sliders, skids, bumpers, winch, and all your gear. Save those leafs

    I said : Pastidip on bumper is nice; so I did mine.
    But, when you're all the time in dust or mud, the plastidipped bumper never becomes clean again....

    The bumper is done with "Color my Hippo" tintable bedliner. I had done the rear bumper and grill surround on the other Tacoma I had. The key I found is to spray the dip with the glossifier, several coats. The white dip would still get grungy looking so I would use Mother's cleaner wax and it clean and brighten it right back up. It is a pita cleaning all the wax out of the dip but if you spray it with a detail spray what is lef of the wax residue wipes right out. It leaves it nice and fresh looking and stays that way for quitee a while. A little elbow grease but not bad. The only thing I did not like the glossifier on was black. It gets water spots and you can not get those off.

    Unfortunately today i am about 5 hours away from my taco, lightweight goin through some separation anxiety...:annoyed:
    But a couple days ago i got an alignment from the new shop i started working at and let me tell y'all its finally done right. I will never go back to wheel works again. As long as these guys are at this shop, this is where im goin for the stuff i cant do in the driveway aside from welding. Im in san jose at this shop
    3002 Silver Creek Rd, San Jose, CA 95121
    If anyone lives in san jose and wants to come through my name is Sam just let us know you're a friend. Speak to John if you can.

    Found out the stubby antenna mod doesn't work for a 2014...
    Also wrapped my roof in black vinyl and reinstalled my Front Runner cab rack.

    Repaired my left DRL/turn signal not working after my headlight install.
    Loose connection inside the socket.
    I'll probably buy two new sockets because the bulb doesn't seem tight in there.

    Yeah I'm a little worried about that as well, but I couldn't stand getting salt water on the paint when I put surfboards on the rack. And the number of times my ratchets have nailed the paint when strapping stuff down.
