I haven't even tried yet- that's a project for later. I'll probably borrow some sort of air source to fill the tires so it goes more smoothly.
It's just kind of interesting that this van is such a time capsule for this sort of stuff.
I'm keeping the KISW sticker on it, though.
Thanks again.

Wow... this thread brought back some "Miami Vice" memories.
Way back in the long ago '80's, there was a guy who I'd gone to school with. His folks were kind of well-to-do, and so for his HS graduation they bought him a brand-new Toyota 4x4 with all the toys. Big tires, roll bar, grille guard, off-road lights... the whole shebang.
Big deal, right? Every town had at least one of them, ya know? Well, what set this one apart was the neon green accessory package he put on it... shock boots, license plate frames, dash cover, and of course, no truck is complete without them - DOUBLE BLADED WIPERS! Oh, and did I mention that the roll bar, grille guard, bumpers, etc., were all painted neon green? He even had a pair of those rubber sunglasses with neon green frames and wore a baseball cap the same colour. I dunno, maybe he was trying to build some "brand recognition" for himself? This truck was so ugly that blind people got offended, and he drove the thing for probably 10 years before it rusted completely away.
Thank god we did'nt make fun of him or anything...

I used them on a few vehicles, then it snowed and the ice got tuck between the two blades and that was the end of that idea. It was definitely the mid to late 90's the last time/only time I used any. The sets I got looked just like the ones in the pic, I haven't seen or haven't noticed any colored versions.
