When you're hesitant about spending your own money, the next most satisfying thing is to convince someone else to part with theirs

 

I saw it. Still haven't taken the time to figure out if the ABS (I don't have ABS) is going to be an issue. If its not, then yeah - might jump on it.

 

shhhh... dont tell the wife

 

yeah it's bent what of it

 

Uh huh

 

That reminds me I need to clean the engine bay tonight before I get pics of the hood struts, freakin Hollister mud and now tons of Big Bear mud is all up in there. Surprising my belts are all still quiet lol

 

ya think?

please, don't use this stuff

 

@Kwikvette you still need to do the RTMR install

 

Dude I've got Salinas mud on top of Hollister mud on my truck.

I'm sure I don't even have the right size battery in my truck.

That's another upgrade I'll need for my winch install.

 

its fine.. just plug the hole for the sensor. or leave the sensor in.

 

Thats gonna be part of my upcoming 90k service. That and new plugs, new coil boots/springs, throttle body cleaning, new air filter, oil change, wipers, and servicing the front/rear diff and T-case. Im hesitant to do the tranny as the output seal is leaking. I fear new MT90 may make the leak worse .

 

Tire coating in the engine bay? People do that?

I just spray engine bay degreaser in there, let it soak then run the hose over it on the mist setting until most the heavy stuff is washed off. Then touch up what I can by hand.

I know some people blast their engine bay with high powered water but that shit makes me nervous

 

Just donate to the #lowbudgetbuild that is my truck.

Your services will be greatly appreciated

 

i hit my engine with the electric pressure washer with the widest nozzle and the engine cold. Never an issue... you actually stand a better chance of issues with a regular hose... pressure washer is putting less water in the engine bay

 

Maybe I've just heard the odd story of people having issues after blasting it (water forcing itself in somewhere it shouldn't be, IDK). I've never had an issue just letting it mist over until it washes off, but it's certainly not as effective as pressure washing

 

Our detailer we had some years ago actually used Pledge on the exterior of his charger.

Not that I'd ever do it ..but his car was sure damn clean all the time.

 

Probably smelled like a lemony fresh living room too

 

just dont aim at the fuse box/alternator.

some cars its a bad idea (im looking at you ford triton engines). but toyotas are pretty forgiving.

 

Maybe the outside....the inside would give you contact-high lol
