    Lots of scrubbing. But I also use Meguiars tire foam. I never just leave it on. I let it sit a minute or two then wipe them off.

    washed and clayed... with 108* heat index and stupid amounts of humidity. I took breaks to vacuum 5-10 gallons of water out of my basement every couple of hours. <Big storm this morning. After i rehydrate, i'll be polishing and waxing. Just glad i bought the power-waxer thing.

    This truck is a work truck - not a lot of fancy mod's here, but it's getting the job done!
    My first mod - kinda - The PO of my truck fixed 2 windows on the shell with plywood after it had been broken into. I replaced the wood with black plexiglass. Still can't see through it, but it looks a ton better... I'll post after pics next time I go out to my truck and after I figure out how to post pictures - lol.

    Just took a pic of it. I gotta say that I love the way 1st gen tacomas look. One of the best looking trucks made IMO. Here is a pic cause I know I like looking at everyone else trucks!

    BTW, how do you put pics directly into the post, not as attachments? I see a lot of you doing that, yet I am not smart enough to figure it out myself. Help?

    Thanks for the tip and the compliment! You've got a good looking truck yourself. I'd have to agree with M3Bassman, some trucks go a bit overboard. Yours is clean and sharp.

    BTW M3Bassman, where in Idaho do you live? I was born there, in Bonners Ferry and went to North Idaho College before moving to Florida.

    Thanks Ben! Just start saving your pennies, and soak up all the knowledge you can for now. You'll get there.

    Thanks Man!

    Thanks Phil!

    Thanks Austen!

    Thanks Dan! That would be fun. Let's figure out how to do that.
