    So after thinking...uh discussing it with my friend. I think he's confused on why they're even there.

    Like I see them on the back of 18-wheelers and I know they use them so robbers driving behind them can't see how nice the tires are and follow them to a truck stop and steal the nice tires while they're sleeping.

    But I don't care if people see my tires.

    Anyway can my friend just remove them? Or will that void his power-train warranty?

    PAM. Like what you spray in a pan? I'm not trying to cook with it or anything. Is this like a trail hack?

    Like: I forgot my pan but luckily my plastic tire thing has PAM to cook with.

    I can see that.

    Thanks.

    With your friend doing hard-core stuff, there is a real danger of puddles. That's right. That filthy water could get on the paint. Modification will void the Protection Package warranty that he no doubt bought. Make him stop.

    For real? Scary stuff. The sales guy said that spray was the best $2000 investment I could make.

    Close one. I'll tell my friend to cut the puddles out. No more rainy day drives for this soon to be veteran.

    I'm learning so much!:)

    Diff breather? Like from my ears?

    Now you guys are just making fun.

    "Diff breather"...jeez. Just like "diesel is bad for my Tacoma" right?

    I'm not that much a noob.

    I've check the manual twice and no mention of headlight fluid.

    Is this some special dealer only maintenance?

    My sales guys said they don't list some highly specialized maintenance like changing the air in my tires or greasing the muffler bearing or checking the timing on my blinkers.

    And only his dealer has the secret codes, technology and correct fluids to work on my Tacoma.

    I'll make sure to ask about headlight fluid at my next Toyota service check.

    You know when I bought this truck I never thought that bringing my truck in for 500 mile services was going to be so expensive but I guess that's the price we all pay keep our trucks on the road.

    Make sure you get your transmission flushed and liquid changed at least every 1000 miles. They dont want you to know that if you don't your truck will explode at like 10000 miles.

    I see. When I complained about my diff howl and hard shifting they said it was an engineered maintenance reminder for things just like that...:thumbsup:

    Trucks not worth anything after 10,000 miles, according to my sales guy.

    I'm just going to trade it in at that point, he said because I'm such a good customer he'll get me a smokin' offer of like $9k.

    If anyone wants my guys info just PM me. He'll get you the same deal if you use my name.

    Good to know! I'll have to remember that when I go to sell, in 15 years. Maybe. Wait no, I forgot, the way I convinced the wife I need a trophy truck is because I want to give it to my 2 year old on his 16th birthday. Whats safer than a caged LT truck?
