    3 turns to the right creates a black hole. Never do three turns to the right.

    If you hold the key to one side will it roll down the windows?

    Dude. What the hell? Where’s your felt washers and dielectric grease? Do you hate your Tundra, or what?

    If you go 3 turns to the right while going ass to mouth, do they cancel each other out?

    Wow. I sometimes feel I am de cyphering some code.....

    Back when I had just turned 18 and the Warsaw Pact fell apart....all those wonderful WW2 rifles started flooding in at basically scrap metal prices...no rifle you bought came with a box or instructions....and I'd be out with the thing and discover something new concerning how it worked.....almost like that. :)

    I'll bet you'll like them! Seems like these trucks are affected very differently by suspension depending on whether they're RCLB, AC or DC, so it'll be different for you, but I really like my 2883s with 4600s.

    I've been too lazy to do it, but shifty`'s advice on the buffing is something I've been thinking about. My paint is definitely chalky, and yes, everything sticks to it. Anytime I get mud on it, I need to use the foaming brush at the car wash. Just spraying it won't get it clean.

    Low buy-in here, just to show you an example of what's possible. Grab one of these from your preferred source, specifically the orange one. Grab a bottle of this from your preferred source.

    Wash your truck so you don't have residual grains of sand that will screw you over. Find an inconspicuous area that's dry and dirt/sand-free. Apply a squirt of polish to the honeycomb side of the pad, silver dollar sized. Firmly work it in 6-8" overlapping circles slowly on your desired incsonpicuous panel, with medium-heavy pressure, overlapping each circle about half an inch. Repeat back/forth 2-3 times. Buff away with a clean terrycloth towel that, again, is free of sand/dirt. If you don't see a significant improvement, I'll be shocked.
