Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Sandlover75, I am calling you out.

New members: please introduce yourself here.

I'm dropping this here since SOMEONE who recently bought a TB registered but hasn't posted yet.

Everyone, meet Traci. I expect a thorough ORTB hazing for this one.

There is TIRE SHINE on my TB! :facepalm:

Sandlover is gonna look like she rolled through a kitty litter box when all that sand gets caked to the tire shine. That's sacrilegious right there

Edit: I bet there's tire shine on that spare up top too :poke:

there's nothing wrong with a clean ride, as long as you don't mind getting it dirty.
I have been guilty of taking the long way to visit my parents though because I had just washed our truck.

Donny said after all the blood, sweat, tears and $$$ spent on the TB it is like one of his kids. Even when they grow up they will always be his :cry:

The TB is still his too.... We just share it! Yes there is shinny stuff everywhere. I am not afraid to get it dirty! Just afraid to do it alone.

I don't sell or trade in my former rides - I look for acceptable adoptive homes. The application essay can take a week to complete, since it runs 18 pages. :angry whip:

I'm guilty of the tire shine, but in my own defense my truck sits in direct sun light parked at work while I'm gone for a couple days at a time. No shady places, I only use it to prevent the uv rays from cracking the rubber or so the type i have claims to prevent it. I have no problems getting them mud covered after being dressed up, I just don't want weak points developing in them :)

When I read the previous post, I started wondering if there was a "Truck Ownership Agreement", then I scrolled down.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

What I read was if you never use it...that is best, but once you do, you need to.continue because the natural moisture has been displaced.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
