I know, but there's no regular hose in the wash bay at work i was mindful of the fins

 

How'd the lowers go?

 

smooth man! I used to get alignments nearly every 3 months from O/R'ing so it kept everything from seizing. I was able to get it all off with no issues, and put it all back together. The steering was off but I need an alignment anyway so, nbd there. I also re-greased the inner bolt of each on the one LCA to continue preventing it from seizing. def glad i did it myself and saved a shit ton by going through rockauto. the MOOG brand looks and feels SOLID like the OEM LCA, good option for future ppl

 

Naw, I think I've seen that one too tho. Mines silver

 

Gotcha.

 

Can you use that HVAC coil cleaner spray stuff to clean a radiator? It should foam up nicely and bring out the dirt.

 

Never thought about it

 

Really though, I don't know if it might damage rubber or paint or something...

quick search...

If you try it, make sure whatever "coil cleaner" you get is safe for aluminum. Some of them are very caustic and will etch or otherwise damage aluminum as well as plastics.

 

Anyone have the silver TRD sport skid plate that they are willing to part with?

 

Why do you want it?

 

Ride today to the eternal flame. Had to actually relight it, haha. A few pics.

 

I want to put it on my truck. I like the look.

 

If you go offroad around here, you're almost guaranteed to destroy it. They do look cool though.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if I do but I like the look and I'd rather the skid plate get messed up than anything above it.

 

Still getting used to all the emojis on here but I like the ones with beer in it haha.

 

I def dont wonna bash any dreams, but that skid wont protect anything above it after the first time it makes real contact with a rock. it'll crack/dent easily enough to penetrate what ever's above it, just my 2 cents.

For most of us, our entire front end of the truck has rested solely on the skid plate (steel, 3/16-1/4") and saved much headache and $$ since they didnt do anything but scratch. thats the kind of protection you want/need.

 

Thanks for reminding me I need skids, dammit there's more $$$ I don't have lol

 

Happy Father's day to all the Dads in the group!

 

Happy Farther's day to all the baby makers.

 

And to the one that steps up and is the dad without being the dad.
