I remember how nervouse he was when he did that too ! LOL !

The paint is good, just heat it up with the dryer and start from inside the door, peel to the outside and dont pull down pull towards your body, I also found this really good stuff to remove the excess, i sprayed afterwards and used a credit card to get the stubborn stuff off of it. I was nervous with that credit card with the paint problems but it worked good, followed it up with a good wax job.

oh yeah, I installed a toyota brand bugshield, what a pita! remove this that and everything in between to get it on, instuctions were hit and miss also. I dont like bug shields but I had to stop the damage I already have 4 chips on my hood!

DEZ it isn't that hard but time consuming if you don't use a hairdryer. I put the side in the sun and wait an hour then start pulling away. When done use gasket/tape remover to get all glue off then wash the area. Then I used a claybar to make it smooth and then a good carnuba wax job on it.

I had two ten inch subs installed with an amp mounted on the back wall.

I love the black wheels on the white! That is exactly what I was looking for!

Sweet! Thanks Mic! I've done lots of sticker removal in my time on all my bikes and water craft, heres a good way. Get the sticker started from the top (a warm day is a must or low setting on a blow dryer) spray a little WD40 where the sticker meets the paint and slowley start pealing. WD40 breaks down the adheasive and turns it into goo. The goo residue should whipe off with a little more WD. Clean the area with soapy water and wax. The only thing I'm not sure about is the affects of the WD on our Truck thin skin.

I may do that mod ! But the question is , on the beer scale of 1 to 12 , How many do you think I'll need from beginning to end ?

[sxd45]

4 beers if you take your time, its really not difficult at all, and dez this stuff I used is great, at least 10 times better than wd, and trust me I use wd on everything.

I get you the name of that can I got for the glue. I don't use wd40. I know this much that can was made in Canada

We already got pics of the WeatherTech Floorliners, although I got black ones because I liked the contrast so if you want I can get pics and edit them in later (after I wash them out ).

I also got the Pro-Cote spray in bed liner





and Clear Bra on the front end, headlights and fog lights (can't really see it in the pics though)-no bug shield, I like the way the front end looks without it and the clear bra takes care of the worst of the rock chips (they toss gravel on the roads here in winter instead of salt, so rock chips and busted windshields are plentiful).

The N-Fab textured nerf bars are on the way and probably the OEM color keyed fender flares. That's probably it for now. I already have a GPS with the XM in it that I swap from the bike to the truck, so nothing built in needed there.
Oh and I already added a Prodigy brake controller for hauling the Fleetwood E4 when the quads or other toys are on there it gets heavy (I'll edit in pics).

[ramoine]

That bed liner looks great !

[advpilot]

Thanks! The chemical make-up is similar to Line-X, just the prep work is a bit more detailed and the local shop that did it has been in business for a long time and they do fantastic work. Lifetime warranty too, but they are so picky about prepping I honestly doubt I'd ever have any issues with it-unless it's a chemical burn or something.

[ramoine]

Thanks for the info , there is a pro kote dealer close to me . I"ll have to get a quote .

[advpilot]

It was actually a little cheaper than the quotes that I got here for the Line-X, but that wasn't the deciding factor for me. The biggest thing was the way they prepped it (instead of going through the clear coat with a pad, they use a brush that really gets it down and in all the corners, it's much more thorough). Plus in my town, it just so happened the local Line-X franchise was sold and since it went under new ownership there are no experienced sprayers. They have one brand new guy just starting out-I'd rather not be the truck he learns on. The previous ownership had a lot of warranty repairs, so their work wasn't the greatest either. The owner didn't know diddley squat about his own web site, had no good answers about application thickness when I asked him and just didn't leave me with that feeling of confidence when I left there. He also told me they would have to spray over the access panels in the front walls of the bed because they are "too stiff" on the Toyota to be removed. That was the last straw.

The Pro-Cote shop removed all the hardware including the access panels, as it turns out they handle all the bed liners for the local Toyota dealerships (I didn't buy my truck here in town so I wasn't aware of this) and he just laughed about the bit about the panels being to tough to take out. I just really lucked out that I found a local family owned business that truly cares about quality of workmanship and I like supporting the small guys!

I tried to upload some pics of my sub install, but I can never seem to get pics to upload? WTF! Anyways I got 2 10" pioneers behind the back set of my CM with out moving the seat out or loosing any leg room. If anyone can give me any pointers on uploading pics, that would be great.
