The chevy bowtie on the front and back and then all the chrome lettering on the truck. I'm not a huge fan of the chrome color

Negative. With the plasti-dip you leave the lettering on. You simply tape off the area (about 1-2 inches from the lettering) place several coats. Then you peel off the unwanted paint.

Interesting, looks like I found my new project for my truck.

I thought about removing the lettering and then painting but I didn't want to deal with cleaning the adhesive off and then placing new adhesive and attempting to put the lettering on straight.

I've hard of several people using plasti-dip to paint their whole cars and hearing how long it lasts. Decided to give it a try. Cleaning the emblems took the longest. Then it was just your normal spray and wait for it to dry. Then spray again at a different angle, etc. Saved well over $100.

I think I'm gonna get some plasti-dip and do my wheels. I got some absurd looking BFG mud terrains put on today. 300 bucks for four that have like 800 mile on them. Wasn't quite what I was after, but a deal is a deal.

Who in their right mind sells 4 BFGs for $300?!

Someone who works in a four wheel drive shop and has a lot of people getting rid of their stock tires I guess. I think they came off a stock Wrangler Rubicon, and they happened to fit my Frontier.

I love BFG's. Had all-terrains on several of my Jeeps and trucks and loved them. Never had mud-terrains, but I've driven Jeeps with them and they seem great.

I'm thinking of buying a nearly new 2014 Rubicon Hard Rock for less than the price on a 2015 Rubicon.....

4Runner Trail Edition. Just as capable and a lot nicer.
