    I feel for ya man. I would be so pissed! I try and take care of mine too.

    I can't stand things that happen out of my control. I'm still pissed about the scratches from a west texas tumbleweed.

    For some strange reason I'm not pissed about the scratch on the same side from branches while off roading.

    Thanks for the input...

    I let it soak in a cup full of rubbing alcohol for about 10, then let it dry.

    That seems to have fixed it.

    true but in other respects my personal favorite color on a truck is black, it makes it look alot more beastly.

    As nice of a color black is it's too hard to keep clean and shows wayy to many scratches if you ever take it off road on occasion

    I find that black hides better than I expected. If you get up close you can see every little imperfection, but from a few feet back its hard to see.

    Question for you v6 owners.

    Do you feel a little vibration from the engine in the steering wheel while accelerating?

    It would be very light, but there.

    A little bit, but the lift and tires would cause that too

    Ok thanks. I just noticed it in the new one I drove. I found it strange since I don't feel it in my 4cyl.

    Occosionally I will get a slight vibration. I noticed this in brand new trucks and in the used trucks I test drove so I figured it was "just one of those things" with getting a Tacoma.

    Good to know. I figured it being new a so tight probably contributes to it. Mine does have 105,000 more miles than the new one.

    Another question,

    I couldn't get the rear diff to lock in 4low while sitting still in the parking lot.

    Is that normal? Do the rear wheels need to spin a little independently before it will lock?
