Well I did it but my arm is sore as hell. I T-Cutted and waxed the whole truck. I even took my Bushwhackers off and cleaned behind them. I highly recommend this if you have them. Mine were a disgusting rust breeding ground behind there. Has anyone in the states heard of T-cut? This stuff is awesome. It's basically like using a claybar. It cleans all the nasties off your paint before you wax. Anyways when I finished that I polished all my (Bling) chrome and used mothers back to black on all the trim. I think it's probably close to the best the Runner has looked ever. Just hope it stays that way. I have an almost full tank of gas and I can't ship it till with more than 1/4 tank so as much as I dont' want to I have to go and drive it around for a while. At least with fresh wax it's easy to get clean again.

Be sure to add fuel stabilizer to the appropriate amount of fuel remaining in your tank. Run the engine for a few minutes to make sure the stabilizer has run through the fuel delivery system. After 60 days of salt and sitting that gas will be gummed up pretty good.

was gonna say that same thing, but then i read the rest of the thread and you already took care of it for me. This is very important, you want the thing to run when it gets back to you...
