    Thanks!

    Hose dragger?? Shit I've been on a Truck Co. almost my entire career. Pump guys are probably the smarter ones.. they actually have shit to put the fire out. I just ventilate, primary search, and pull people out. I hate to ever say it but a good pump crew can save your ass though. A few have helped me out greatly when I thought I was in my final moments.

    All shit aside. It's a great job. It just takes a toll on you after 20 some odd years. (Hence the Alcoholism / Drug abuse). PTSD is a fucker!

    very nice job keeping it so clean! Thats the way brake fluid is supposed to look (clear goldish color). I keep mine clean on the exterior but need to do a deep clean of the undercarriage and engine bay.

    sober since May 23 2012! keep it going brotha!

    So does that truck ever leave the pavement? :)

    Wish mine was that clean.

    Not a bad thing. I've only got 13k miles and mud in places it'll never come out. Lol

    so you're saying you spray 303 at like 13 bucks a bottle on the the entire underside of the truck and on metal?

    Isn't it only designed for plastic rubber and vinyl?

    Holy fucking thread revival.

    Yes, every time I change the oil and rotate the tires. Though I don't have that truck anymore. Still do it to the new one.

    Looks good man. I am kinda OCD about keeping mine clean also. Got my 14 DCSB Prerunner 5/22/14 and have Clay Barred it already and waxed twice. Get washed and vacuumed twice a week. And Run California duster over it every night.

    Thanks,

    Like I said earlier, I don't have that truck anymore but I still do the same to the 13 that I got last year.

    I am wondering how it got that clean. What did you do to clean the engine and undercarriage?

    I clean the truck every time I change the oil and rotate the tires. I'll go from front to back with 303 and a rag. Every time it rains I wash it off when I get to work or when I get home. Same thing if I go off road. Wash it off with a pressure washer as soon as I get home.

    Do you just hose down the engine bay? I never really got how people cleaned them. I was told once that not everything under the engine bay could get wet as in a direct hose wash down.

    Never. I just don't let it get that dirty. Every time I wash it I clean the engine bay with 303 and a rag.

    Yup. Honestly there isn't that much electrical to spray it on. Just a light mist and wipe it down. I like it because it is a matte finish and not greasy.
