    Could always go see the world's largest boot in Redwing, world's largest candy store in Jordan, Niagara Cave with an underground waterfall, or purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

    So I spent the day working on the paint. Been since last fall that I have done much more than just a wash. Lots of pinstripping that needed addressed as well as some deeper ones. Couldn't play in the engine compartment show and tell the other day, so here is my 2015 with 86k-looks pretty sharp!

    Damn I am so impressionable... @BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT and I were talking about bigger tires and then he noted that once you go big on the Tacoma you need to think about a Tundra steering rack. As if I don't have a thousand other things to consider... this has me smitten. Maybe a project for next summer... $$$$ and time safely spent on a truck.

    Not this year... Soon. Which is predicated on cash flow. But, soon. Need struts and shocks first. Soon... About eight years and both girls are out of college. So... soon.

    I use Mr Clean magic eraser. Fill my bucket with whatever car wash concentrate, add water, and use mr clean pad! Thing is awesome on wheels! Also great on White letters on the tires. Tge sponge will fall apart using it on some items like tires or step rails but it gets the job done.

    Personally I don't use a magic eraser on paint but they are fantastic on windshields.
