    98-00 is often considered the least appealing front end. I guess some people like those ford ranger looking headlights

    Finally busted out the fluid film, first day of winter! The application held up fantastically last year.

    My truck is from CA and the frame is nice and clean, but these MA winter w salt are gonna put Fluid Film to the test.

    The 99-00 Front end is unpopular to say the least. Could probably source all the bits for a swap to that front for free from people going to the older or newer styles.

    Using the dash to store stuff. Youl see alot of old work trucks with the plastic cracked or missing from throwing stuff up there.

    I store all my spare sand in there; spare change, spare pens, spare breath mints, spare tire, spare engine, spare balljoints, other TW members.... I keep a lot right on top of my gauge faces.

    Filled up At a crappy gas station in Nevada the other day


    Noticed the truck running like garbage.. kind of lurching at low rpm cruising and also accelerating hard. Changed the plugs and wires today and helped a lot but still doing in a little.

    Hopefully it's just the bad gas in it

    I've often wondered if bad gas is actually a thing. I have filled up at some tiny and some sketchy stations and never had the truck or the car run like shit because of it. I'm sure it can happen but can it really happen as often as I see it posted here as a reason for poor running.

    Not sure either to be honest. I replaced the plugs/wires today with Toyota oem ones and helped a bit but really think it's just the gas. If not then I'll start replacing more parts from there :bananadead:

    Before filling at that station the truck has never ran poorly

    Not sure if bad gas is a thing, I would assume it is. The one thing I don't do is fill up right after the tanker refills the station. Heard it stirs up all the shit at the bottom and can possibly make it into your tank.
