How did you go about mounting them this way? I want to add one pair to my 25.

Ceramic coat question?
When I bought my Tacoma I watch many videos regarding protection the paint job and most common suggestion was to put on a ceramic coating. I bought AvalonKing ceramic coating and put it on after washing, drying, polishing out all minor scratches and using clay to remove debris. Man that metallic blue sure shined and beaded up water like never before. I see they have a buy1 get 1 for free deal so bought 2 for my new 1500 Laramie I should be picking up around Thanksgiving, very appropriate timing eh????

Have any of you applied a ceramic coating before and what did you use, what are your results?

had ceramic coating on my T4R before, thinking it protects the paint.
went offroading for a year and it turns out to be much more work to maintain it than not coating, and doesn't protect much in offroad conditions.

after that i realized it's a truck built to do truck things, not a show car or something that gets hard parked at the mall. Coating it would be a waste of time and money on my end.

Installed the APOC Industries rear control arms and track bar today. These things are beefy. Pics don't really do then justice. The solid track bar is a good 5-10lbs heavier than the factory hollow tube. Greasable poly bushings. The adjustable factor really isn't needed unless I lift the truck higher, but nice to have in case I ever do. Wasn't a night and day difference in driving, but did only do a few miles on the highway. For $160, definitely not going to complain.

You are right about the coat, it is only good for making the removal of bugs easier and prevents from small scratches reaching the color layer of the paint. Also helps the removal of road tar.

I put the Armor Shield IX on my Ram in September 2022 and it has held up very well. I will be re-applying very soon to bring back the slickness and the gloss.

After the ceramic coating I use a product called Reload from Carpro CARPRO | Reload Inorganic Spray Sealant 2.0.

It puts back the glossy shine and slickness to them nasty bugs just fly off the paint.... I just wash the truck then spray it on and wipe it off to see my ugly mug once again.

Here is the video I watch to understand all this auto detailing stuff

Enjoy.

I did, they tell me they haven't started doing anything with the 25s, but they do have plans on creating one.

Added some custom bed rails to my truck for tie downs. So far loving it!

Back to oem wheels for winter. And did my annual oil change. Almost hit 20k. Might be time to trade it in.
