    Guess I'd rather they do that than slice the tires. I have a compressor at home, and one behind the rear seat of the truck. Temperature changes so much here in NY I'm topping off air once a month. Pulling out an allen wrench each time to get the caps off would start to piss me off real quick. :laugh: And the first time one of the threads seized from salt/sand they would be gone one way or another.

    I don't deal with extreme conditions out here, Cold to us is anything below 65 degrees... And I wouldn't of been so irritated if it wasn't for the fact it was raining, 2AM in down town san jose (i live 57 miles from san jose) and I remember it being about 45 degree's outside. So it left us wondering around looking for a gas station with a working air pump....

    A few weeks later I remember the Camaro has run flat tires and no spare because... it comes with a air pump in the trunk. We derped...

    lol, I've been thinking about getting another mustache...

    It's the same truck, Only differences are the emblem changed colors, She got shaved (no mustache), I took off the front license plate again (I used a universal bracket angled to bolt to the bottom/under the bumper to avoid holes on the face) and I added a TRD badge

    Camera difference... Top (black emblem) picture was taken with my DSLR, The red emblem picture is from my GSIII with a instagram edit affect done to it... There's no damage except for a few rock chips on the front body kit.

    Just be careful.

    Metal caps seem to tend to weld themselves to the TPMS stems.

    Which tonneau is that? Were you able to install it? Can you use the rails with it installed?

    I see. That's why I keep one of these in the truck: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Flow-M...=1347621657&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=masterfllow

    That was my problem and why I switched to the plastic caps. I had to break 1 of them off.

    I have the exact opposite problem on TPMS stems--mine keep loosening up all the time. I have to check and re-tighten them regularly. Might switch to plastic just to see if they'll stay tight better.
