    That's actually not a bad price for something that should have simply come with my Taco TRDOR. One of my biggest pet peeves is the stupid temperature on the head unit that comes from digital radio. It doesn't look like this fixes that though. Fuel economy would be nice instead of having to manually calculate it.

    Love trail gear. Good stuff. Have a TG bumper on my 3rd gen Tacoma. Not a huge fan of the TG logos cut out of the 2nd gen Taco bumper, but otherwise looks really good!!

    I think it's a Tacoma, let me go check again...
    *Cracks knuckles* Where do I begin?
    Bed lined the top of my sliders and painted black on the bottom.
    CB radio install
    Wired all my switches to turn on without me having to press them (I don't know why I didn't do this to begin with).
    Changed my green/red switches to just red.

    In January I'll have my Brute Force bumper installed, Cali Raised amber pods/side shooters, KC lights 30 inch blacked out LED light bar, and have my steering wheel lights changed from green to red.

    I washed the rig!
    While washing I noticed that the window rubbers are looking a little stressed (discolored).
    Any recommendations for a good treatment/protectant to make keep them looking fresh?

    I use this on pretty much everything inside and out of the truck

    [​IMG]

    Just make sure you clean and dry before applying a thin layer

    Keeps all the gaskets and plastic parts in mint condition

    That was for the protection side of things once cleaning has been properly completed

    For cleaning this is what I use

    Some people dont cut it at all.

    But, I use a 50/50 diluted mix and have had great results

    Yeah, I have some of that. I try to be careful using it as I've heard stories of it ruining certain finishes and such. My issue is always trying to get those hard to reach areas. Seems I always cut my hand/fingers on something when I'm trying to clean the engine compartment.

    You have to equip yourself with the correct tools my friend!

    I cant find pics of the 'brushes' i use (very soft bristled)

    But here is a semi close one

    [​IMG]

    I've got various lengths and whatnot to get those hard to reach spots

    The devil is truly in the details!​
