Linex...

Thinking about doing my entire truck. Its a 2021 crewmax limited TRD. I put the ol girl through a lot as far as exterior so I wanting the protection/cover of scratches and dents and I won't mind the look either. What are your thoughts and personal experiences.

 

Thread is in Tacoma world, but it covers a lot of the pros and cons.

Technically you could just beat the hell out of the truck and then spray the whole thing with bed liner later once its beat. Doing this while the truck is so new could lower the resale value or trade value as you're now lowering the amount of potential buyers, a dealer can always invest in a respray of a beat up vehicle before selling but once its sprayed with bed liner you're stuck with it. If you're 100% at this point that you'll never get rid of the truck then do what makes you happy. I'd be curious how much heavier the truck would be.

 

If you like the look and are not concerned about resell value and weight, go for it. Always seemed like overkill IMO but it's your truck!

 

So great info on the site...approximately 70 additional pounds. Resale is my only concern...however I would not have to worry about that until I hit 200,000 miles. which means 6 more years. Thanks for the info

 

@Tacomaholic has a 2nd gen Tacoma that he vinyl wrapped. He's on Tacomaworld.com also and he has a youtube channel.

Vinyl wrap may not protect against dents but it'll help with scratches. Pricey I'm sure but it's always an option.
