Dot key. This is the one I bought.

 

Awesome, that’s the one I was just looking at. I’m going to pull the trigger, Any issues with installation?

Thanks again!

 

The only issue is that the instructions suck. There is a video on their website but it is for a corolla. Oddly enough it does actually help though. Very similar construction.

It's easy enough to figure out from there.

If you run into any issues, let me know, I'll walk you through it.

 

Yeah it's Plastidip over the regular chrome. Been there for at least 18 months. Plastidip is a type of wrap, it's just easier to apply because it sprays on. It peels off when it's done, but it'll last as long as a wrap.

 

Yeah, I’ve used plastidip a lot. I have my badges plastidiped right now. I wonder how the white would compare to the super white paint.

did you do anything to prep the chrome? Like rough it with sandpaper?

 

No, just Plastidip. I don't think the colors and sheen would match close enough (hence the black bumpers and not a matching color).

 

Haven't had the heart to do anything this year. Got my cats stolen. Replaced + shield. Then mother nature said eff you and threw down hail.

Here's a photo after a fresh mow.

 

I think you missed a blade of grass . Nice yard

 

Don't let the bastards get you down... shits bound to get worse before it gets better.

...But not for you. You've already paid yours.

 

Used it to tow all this to San Felipe and back. It did awesome other than costing a small fortune in gas.

 

Progression on my truck over the last 3 years...black out tags and grill...rims/tires, lifted/leveled...still working on her, though!

 

do they need to be removed or can they wrap on truck?

 

Plastidip the rear bumper the other night. Took about two hours to mask and paint. Still on the fence about the black. May try white and see what it looks like.

 

Moved the trailer light plug. Last one was damaged off roading.

 

Love that color. Dark green always looks good on pickups.

 

They did them in place on the truck in about 4 hours.

 

I installed a pop&lock kit to lock/unlock the tailgate with all doors (second tap of fob). Pretty nicely thought out kit as far as wiring and hardware. Though the instructions are shit, and the polarity of their harness was reversed. Used a layer of dynamat(ish) stuff inside the tailgate and the operation of the lock is just as quiet as the rest of the factory locks, so I'm happy.

Also performed the rear differential breather relocation to behind the driver taillight while I was crawling around underneath.

 

Thanks! Since I got it, about 4 years ago, I have only seen 3 or 4 this color...which makes it even better!

 

Nothing I did, but something I found out. If you insert your key into the door lock and hold it in lock, the sunroof will close if it’s open.

If it’s closed you can put the key in the door lock and hold it to the unlock position and it will open it.

I tried to see if the windows would at least go down, but this only operates the sunroof.

i tried to find a “I was today years old when” forum but didn’t find one. Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

There it is! I knew I had seen a forum like that before.

 

Treated my 2nd gen to $100 worth of gas.

 

It costs me nearly half that to fill my motorcycle these days.

 

Yep….. I paid $125 the other day. I call BS….lol

 

On Saturday, I picked up and installed my Valhalla’s Shields cat shields. Love ‘em!

Big Thanks to @Classy63

I'll work on it.

 

Gas jumped another $.20 yesterday, that’s $.40 in 7 days. Still has another $.15 to go to catch up with gas futures from last week.

 

Finally wired in the rocker switch for my Sasquatch-spotting lights. Wasn’t a fan of the push button one)
