    Yes, 4 ply tires are what the truck is rated for. Therefore they are able to handle the load the truck is “supposed” to carry.

    165K Oil Change and service. And my neighbors can't figure out how I keep my vehicles running for so long with so few problems...of course, they have NO CLUE about getting Oil Changes and services done at the proper times, so they have been through about 3 or 4 vehicles since I bought my Tacoma.

    If you live anywhere near the rust belt, fluid film it now while its still in prime condition!! And get the little rust spots too, will help that

    That's why wanna get it done from here on out. I've gone 3 yrs w/o & it's got a lil surface rust around the welds so wanna clean that up & have filmed. Luckily Pittsburgh doesn't salt as much as much as the DC metro area does

    Today I received my 90% of my CB stuff, got everything installed. Did the "hidden" center console install for the actual CB, Think I am going to have to notch the floor of the center console to make the CB sit lower because I cannot keep the mic installed and shut the top at the same time. Waiting for my right angle mic extension and my SWR meter to get it tuned and test it out. NOAA comes in clear as day. Keeping with a 2' firestik for now because anything taller will get destroyed on a daily basis in the parking garage at work. Thinking about buying a 3' for road trips to get a little better range on the highway but will need to keep the SWR meter close to check tuning when I switch them out. Spring is not straight so the antenna is cockeyed a bit when installed.

    :yes:
    Take the housing off the truck (it's just a 3m adhesive gasket, you will need a new one) disassemble the housing. Clean and paint. Install back on truck with klearz.com lens and enjoy!

    I got the LEDs from @csjumper2003

    We use salt brine and it also has or had molasses mixed in it so it will stick.

    Is that your old frame? Was it ever fluid filmed? I literally just learn about this last year through TW.
