    For $20 could have done these with the Plasticolor ones. That's what I wound up doing about 5 years ago.

    This has been discussed before, thought I had recorded it ...

    I am coming to the conclusion the first owner of my truck smoked like a chimney and it is in the air vents. What is a good product to flush the air vents of the crap?

    You need an ozone machine. They're cheap on Amazon. Follow that up with some ozium air spray.

    I agree. I got the $20 eBay ones and they are a game changer.

    Yeah these were like $40 a set. Beefy as heck. Some structural questions were raised when I saw the rear holes for the set screws but, they are burly steel so I doubt they will go anywhere playing in the dirt or in an accident. I ordered all TI hardware to lighten the mess up a bit. Coming from Recaro buckets to Tacoma seats was off putting to say the least. Then my back started getting wonky on long trips. Raising the legs was EVERYTHING.

    Seawater. A steep boat ramp. Compliant witnesses.

    The smell doesn’t come just from the vents, it comes from -everything- plastic in the truck.

    Just let’r roll gently into the water. It’s really the only way. :rolleyes:

    Perhaps we best not ask. Since the moderators finally decided it was too-much, they may not want the topic raised.

    Maybe we just start dreaming up unfounded and very embarrassing rumors about others for now. :D:eek:

    Probably volume over severity, true. I grew a thicker skin for his comments, but I understand if others did not want to adjust.

    He may have been warned more than once...twice on his behavior...who knows.

    I had good interactions with him.

    Well ... Rix is an "acquired taste". Even I bit my tongue a few times.

    Update:
    Well, I have to say that I am liking the all LED lights on the rear of the truck now, just looks cleaner to me anyway.. I also have the glare blockers ready to install, but I do not think I am going to need them, just hadn't affected the camera that I can tell yet... I am going to hang on to them for awhile though, my luck I have cheap LED tag lights and when they go out (if they do) then the new ones will be much brighter and I will need them then... Time will tell...

    Now just waiting on my grill, already have the garnish for it...
