What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dipped my grill on Tuesday nite

 

Nice, How does the 4R Pro feel and ride, does the ride feel solid and handles tight!

 

What did you do for the bed storage compartments? I'd like to keep everything in there from getting dirty but not sure how to go about it.

 

Watch that tire shine on the white paint. Trust me it's a headache you don want to deal with. Make sure it's water based and use sparingly. The splatter will stain the white anti chip paint on the lower body.

 

What did you do to take those stains out, it's on my taco and it's driving me nuts lol

 

What kind of push bar is that

 

I would say googone the yellow stuff with a microfiber

 

3M 4200, you can get it in Black. Will hold up much better than black silicone, it is made for using below the waterline on boats, but can be used above the waterline as well. If you don't order from the internet you may have to buy at West Marine, most hardware stores will only carry white on the shelf.

 

You can seal up the drain holes with silicone and that will keep the dust from getting in there.

There is no real solution, it's permanent and it's not a surface stain. If you google the issue, it's an ongoing problem for quite a few people going back about ten years with multiple manufactures. You can go to a dealer and raise hell and see where that gets you, this worked for some. You can also let the sun bleach them out, which is the route I went, they seem to be fading but not gone yet.

 

What do people use to keep their tires black? I used this "tire wet" stuff that makes them look shiny and great, but after hitting the trail the dust sticks to them like glue. And then when I wash my truck they won't come clean. The only solution is more tire wet stuff. How can I get my tires clean and keep them a flat black color like their are new. Not the shiny armor all look? I'm using the wrong stuff.

 

Thank you. Right now I have a bull bar for the inconsiderate people who touch park. I don't like the bull bar. I like the one you have.

 

I like that one much better.

 

TRDpro wheels and A/C drain mod.

 

They are not supposed to be shinny, just like are trucks aren't. They are Fing Tacos guy, keep them dirty just like your girls.

 

Oh yeah, used black rtv and gorilla tape from underneath the bed. Taped it from underneath and made a pocket for the door with the tape then layered the rtv on top of the tape patch, until it was thick and strong. Also made sort of a spitter valve for the beds water drain holes. All this keeps most of the fine dust under control.

 

http://www.carpro-us.com/wheels-tires-and-trim-care/carpro-perl-500ml-16oz/ best "tire shine" that i have used. if used right, it will leave your tires looking like they have come out of the factory that day not shiny but rich and clean. This stuff also doesn't sling a bit. This pic is on my 2nd gen just after wiping the tire. That tire has 50k on it with about 9/32's left. Hope this helps.

 

Dirt, I use dirt. The more you use that "tire wet" stuff it will just keep layering on and will look terrible. Not to mention it get's pretty damn hard to take off

 

So far, so good on my RokBlokz. They've survived a bunch of abuse so far.
