    Makes a nice difference when you tap on the back wall with your hand or a hard object. Goes from a hallow metal tin can to a deep thud.
    Just be careful of how high you push that material up the back wall… don’t get it stuck to the glass like I did :smack:

    I used Anthracite PlastiDip and Glossifier, as that makes a nearly perfect body match with MGM.

    I have no idea why I didn’t paint the clamp. I could have just masked the tightening nut, but after installing it, I didn’t beat the clamp up the way I thought I might when I was thinking through it.

    It doesn’t show up too bad though.

    Damn! I was hoping you’d say PlastiDip so I wouldn’t want to order those haha! Guessing they’re the TPO finish?

    I’d be concerned about putting the bumper shells on being in the northeast. Feel like that’d end up rusting out the chrome.

    Looks great though and glad to hear durability is there too.

    When you measure how much more quiet the inside of the cab is, from before and after, how much of a difference does this make?

    I recently did the plasti-dip followed by some bedliner in a can. Pretty cheap yo do all 4 corners and I'm loving the look. Texture is pretty close to the TPO and it blends really well with the plastic.

    That stuff helps. I have the Stinger Roadkill Stealth in my doors. Makes the doors feel more solid when they close and helps with outside road noise as well.

    Ahhh...those are the Gen 1's it looks like. I had the Gen 1 and was upgraded to the Gen 2 a couple of months ago under a warranty claim.

    I thought about it. I ran a sheet where the spare tire kit rest but not much else for the floor as of yet.

    I think I'm going to do it. I need more projects lol. The floor will be easier than the inside of the doors lol. It looked like I got into a fight with a cat.

    Started a project with some stuff that I bought from another member. Gotta love the SEM. Funny thing I noticed today after having the truck for 2 years.....I never noticed that there are chrome rings around the AC control knobs.

    I mistakenly bought the AJT 3 knob set up when I ordered the complete black out kit. They are just sitting on my tool box if you want them. Just cover shipping and they are yours

    It's just the 3 knobs or that full kit in the 1st pic? They do look nice. I did my trim pieces with the SEM Trim black spray. The AJT stuff does look more aggressive for sure.

    That did some out sharp! Thanks for sharing.
    How long have you had it on for? Any chips or is the Berliner in a cab doing its job?

    Thanks! I've only had it this way about 2 months, but my truck is always outside and even drove it thru a small hail storm with no issues. I used the Rustoleum Turbo bed liner and it works great. I think to do all 4 corners was like $50 (5 coats plasti-dip on each corner and 2 coats bedliner on the front and 1 on the rear)

    Edit: some folks just use bedliner and get a year or 2 before they can see chrome thru the rock chips.

    Wow very nice work. Your wiring work and fab skills are great. My wiring is such a mess right now.

    Looks great man, this is exactly what i'm working on now too. Did you make that tray? I like that.

    I got it from Overland Equipped. Another member on here told me to try them as he had one in his Tacoma. It shipped fast too. It's designed so that the screws don't interfere with the fuse markings on the inside of the lid. I bought my Blue Sea stuff from Amazon since it was cheaper than the marine store. Overland does sell it as well.

    That's really nice. I might just get that too. I was going to try my hand at bending a bracket myself, so depends on how much i mess that up :D I have the same Blue Sea block you're using and i'm also adding winch disconnect.

    I felt the exact same way. I bought one this past winter, used it for a few days and then took it out and returned it. Just not worth $300. If I want to have a touchy gas pedal, I can just push the tow/haul button.

    Thanks. I saw Tundra234’s setup after I posted mine and thought that would have saved me a few days. That’s a nice looking set up. I love mine but it took a few days to build. Working with stainless can be a pain in the ass. I got my BlueSea hardware off Amazon also. I built a tray for mine today and got it permanently mounted. Love how it turned out and I love that I can remove the fuse cover box without having to take anything loose. Now I need to buy more lights.

    Yea I had platisipped my Tacoma rear number when I had it. Lasted me over 4 years before I could see any chrome through it. But of course that was the back of the truck. I’d be really curious to see how long you ca go on the front with the dip and bed liner!

    dip is easy to remove, ever try to take anything like yours off? Or touch it up?

    I think it’s the angle of the pic. It still has a very slight rake to it but not much. If you look at the top pick it looks pretty level.

    Just rolled over to my 3yr lease mileage limit with 14 days to go. With the new leasing so high, decided to buy it out and keep it for quite some time.

    Now time to buy new tires, rotors/pads, and get an alignment.
