    I put this motherscratcher on. It's AnennaX 13" EuroStyle.

    I also chalk-tested my tires. They seem to be slightly over-inflated. The middle was wearing off leaving chalk on the outside inch or so.
    I'm not sure if it's enough to worry about or not.....
    They all 4 have only 37 pounds cold. Not sure I want to go less than that.
    One of my rears still has an inch or so of chalk on the very outside after driving about 2 miles.
    Hmmm......

    Put some light oil on the threads of the antenna. My rusted up completely in a matter of 4 months. Not pleased and they didn't respond to an email I sent with a pic either.

    I noticed my stock antenna starting to get rust on the threads. I remove it before running it thru Brown Bear once in a while. (The first time, the ant. got bent a little). I was thinking about a little WD40 on the threads...

    I sprayed some light oil into the receiver and put the stock one back on. Haven't had anymore issues since.

    I just added the same one to mine. :eek:

    So, not today, but here's what she had added/done last week:
    • ProComp 2.5" Level Kit
    • MB TKO Wheels - 16"
    • Nitto Terra Grapplers - 285/75/16
    • AntennaX 13" EuroStyle
    • TRD Logo Valve Stem Caps
    • Full interior detail
    • Exterior Wipedown with Meguiar's Black Plastic Restorer (I noticed the antenna base was faded all nasty)
    • "Started" removing the bedside decals (as in, started one - didn't have a hair dryer, and then pouring rain with no garage to put her in to finish)
    • Aaaaaaand....she got hit with a friggin shopping cart.
    • Bought 'yota matched touch-up paint thanks to this ^^

    Yes, I waited awhile before taking this pic, the Meguiar's does make it look that much better...

    I'd love to stomp the ever lovin shit outta the jackass who did this!!!! Scratches up top are through the clear coat down to paint and/or metal in a few tiny spots. Dent down below, paint chipped to the metal on the edge near the dent. She's getting a pro wax/claybar treatment soon, so I didn't touch up anything else to see what magic can be done otherwise first.

    Before the swim. Night was hell. Had to deal with a half naked teen tweaking on something running around all night. Then finally found him out cold in the bushes at 3 am.
