    Just be glad that Toyota trucks don't have a history of rusting out.

    It looks like your front fog light is busted...I only say this because it happened to me...Coal truck threw a huge piece of gravel at my windshiled the other day...I saw it hit...Didnt crack the windshield...Then i saw another one comming at me and i heard it hit...but i didnt know where...Thought my grill was busted...Turned out it shattered my passenger fog light...

    Looks like mine most of the winter. Kinda like the rim of a margarita glass. Only thing I got going for me is that it shows a little less on the silver. Run it through a brushless but remember to dry your door jams or you'll be walking till April.:D

    I have the base model 4x4, so no foglights just a capped off depressing hole where the foglights would go.

    Haha, good eyes! 2nd winter with my Deuler's and I love them.

    thats how my truck looks too. make sure if you wash it off in the winter that you use cold water. hot water will activate the salt so use cold
