CANADA TOUCHER!!!

So... I got bored after I ran outta splitter gas today and wasn't ready to go home so I figured I'd make the most of the mud and go play.

Well after that I headed to advanced auto to grab some gear oil for my upcoming diff cover swap (this one's seeping) and some *** in a Tacoma is sitting there as I back into my spot then as he's pulling out yells back "Wash that roach!" Guess he was too much of a p**sy to say it to my face. Then I was stopped at a stoplight in the center of town and some old lady (maybe in her early 50s) yelled and gave me a big thumbs up.

And now I need to pressure wash the underside of my truck to get all the mud off.

Please tell me that you are not going to put a chrome diff cover on!
