    I didnt know they werent street legal, thats stupid, i was looking at fake beadlock rims but i dont really like the beadlock look i like the purpose of it but i dont think that a stock tundra or even one at about 300 horsepower will be spinning the rims inside of the tires

    Hhhmmm no, i have a few questions though, 2.5" 8" fox shocks or king shocks, will they fit on my tundra stock or do i have to wait to get my LT kit to get those on, what do you think would be the best sandpaper to sand off the paint, as in how fine, 1,000? 800? And also looking at rims is there an offset i should go for or will pretty much any offset fit without problems? Sorry about all the questions haha im used to little jap cars not trucks haha last car was 1993 nissan 240sx

    If you use the plastidip, you don't need any adhesion promoter, it won't mix with plastidip since that stuff is made to peal off.

    I used bed liner in a rattle can, for the adhesion promoter I dusted three really light coats, 5 minutes apart. I put my first coat of bed liner on after 5 minutes too, you have to catch the adhesion promoter while it's tacky. It's more like a glue than a paint.

    Semi gloss will look pretty good, I tried doing mine in semi gloss but it came out flat. I'm not sure what went wrong with that paint but I think it was old. After a while I got sick of the flat paint and went to town with bed liner instead.
