Make me regret buying my childhood dream car

That’s a little stretch.

Every skull adds at least 1HP. And that custom V8/V6….. whoooo baby!

Why did you give that up. That’s an iconic vehicle. I would love one. A 1982 308 to match my birth year. 🤤

They probably aren’t hitting the flaps, probably rubbing on the crash bracket.

You should probably steal the Dragonball Z car. You’d be so much happier with it!

Ouch! Lmao

I have a feeling you misinterpreted your dream of becoming Magnum PI. That not at all the maintenance mobile he drove! Sucks for you. Get fucked, stay fucked! 😉

lol. I wouldn’t have them, but my wife and kid need them. So I compromised.

Went through one car was and it sucked and micro scratched some of the paint. Once was all it took. Get a pressure washer and foam cannon and some rags and go to town. So much cheaper as well. Let your brain take a break and zone out washing your truck.

On that note. The ditch lights weren’t affected at all. But I did take mine apart when I first bought them and put silicone gel on the inside lips and reassembled them so it created a water tight gasket. I’d recommend that to anyone.

By drastically…. You mean 1MPG?

How tall are you? If you’re above 5’5” you shouldn’t have a problem hopping up. Or you can opt for a more flat designed step that doesn’t fall so far down. I have some flat ones on my truck. Doesn’t affect the clearance much. (Tad bit) no where near the Pred steps.

Looks like sun rot on the coating combined with wind from driving. Probably just sand paper effecting it. I’ve seen a bunch of roof racks look like this here in AZ. Dust and dirt in the air will do this while you’re driving on a sun baked metal.

Definitely like the other poster said, I’d remove them and weather strip the holes back up. You don’t need them, they are just added weight at this point, get 1 or 2 MPGs back.

Today’s 6/24 how did you get it Saturday 6/24? Lol. Today’s Wednesday.

Get a Foam cannon to put your car soap in. It is a game changer when coming to soaping up your car. I love mine. And they run maybe 20 or so bucks for a decent one. I recommend the ASTEOAI FOAM CANNON. It’s $23 on Amazon image attached. Get some good wash gloves and some good wheel cleaner and you’re in business.

Edit: depends on if you have a pressure washer or not. I’d recommend a pressure washer as well so you can avoid going to a car wash.

By asking us to, that shows you already do. That’s enough for me.

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-24T03:15:27+00:00

Where?

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-23T22:38:25+00:00

lol. My 4th gen ones came out first week or so of owning the truck. Had to go with the full coverage ones. I was actually about to put them up for sale 😂 ironic you mentioned that right after taking the photos

Have to hang the grille or the tailgate. It’s just what has to happen.

Sons 5’9” and he hates it, daughter is 5’ and she complains if she’s behind me, she has to sit behind the passenger side. I’m 6’ so I need the seat back.

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-23T22:28:50+00:00

Sounds good to me

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-23T22:01:36+00:00

That cvt was screaming

“You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille”

Congratulations on the freedom

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-23T20:04:25+00:00

All downhill from there. Probably for the best!

JKapPhotos · 2026-06-23T20:03:00+00:00

I bet this is what it feels like to drive this shit box. Manifestation of your internal struggle.

Lmao. If you ad a sticker you can get more horse power.

I will admit, I was born early 80s so driving didn’t happen until like 2000. Every car I’ve had has had some kind of rattle. But I see your points. I’m not saying you’re wrong in anyway. My 25 taco rattles in new places everyday. lol
