    I can’t find the pic but if you go to my write up on Page 1, you’ll see how I addressed the door sills with a white truck lol.
    And the warranty is a limited warranty meaning all conditions were perfect and you took care of it according to their directions. Neither of that was in my case lol

    In other news, been experiencing a nice whirring/whining noise up front that got louder with higher rpms. Figured it was either idler pulley or my alternator.

    The battery indicator light on my dash this morning when the truck struggled to turn over told me which it was.

    Guess who’s replacing an alternator after work tonight cause he has no other option to get to work tomorrow morning?


    Fuck.

    Gotcha. Mold n Hold. I found the picture I think you were referring to:

    I've been pondering doing almost the opposite. My truck is blue (dark) and wrap in white.

    Ah bummer man. Hope you're able to get the part and install that in short time. Could be worse.

    What’s up brochacho’s

    Got some life updates:
    Finally got hired on with the dream job as a Paramedic Fireman. Working 48/96 which is awesome if anyone was wondering. Just in time for summer time.

    Still got the truck. Definitely has to go in for some services here soon. Also I might be just paranoid, but I think my coolant has a slow leak. And the coolant ain’t disappearing onto the ground which is the real dick kicker.
    Luckily I got a piece of shit commuter car so I can stop putting so many miles on the Tacoma and paying for $6 gas on 35’s.

    Hope everyone is doing good and saving on gas. Currently working on some electrical shit on my day off today. Finding more of these little pieces of shit causing more issues.

    Pro Tip: Don’t use these things for anything unless you like ripping em out eventually which WILL happen.

    Happy Friday, fuckers.

    Matt

    Also just had my Rigid DSS ditch lights replaced after the lens on the first pair started peeling. Almost like a sunburn kind of thing.

    Rigid replaced em free fifty. That’s my 2nd pair of Rigid lights replaced under warranty. First pair were my fog lights which developed some condensation behind the lens.
