How does everyone wash their Taco?

Better put that bull bar back on.

You mean a nudge bar with a low center of gravity and a rear facing design that meets ADR compliance standards.

A lot of years in health care? What did you do for work? I'm currently an EMT, pursuing more schooling right now for the future

Critical Care RN. I got wounded pretty good in Iraq, after I got out of the military (Airborne Infantry) I had to get a haircut and a real job so healthcare it was. Good money and always have a job.

I don’t know what EMS pay is where you are but the transition is truly worth it. You can pull $30/hour out of the most economically depressed areas in the country.

Thanks for your service! [emoji631] & that's awesome! [emoji1360]
I'm sure you've learned how to wash a truck

I'm from California... I make $12/hour as an EMT [emoji854]
I'm pursuing athletic training, and then moving states. Better pay. Around sports more. Still health care!
(Don't get confused with personal trainers that help you get strong)

13 of 27 guys in my platoon back from 01-05 in the 82nd Airborne are in healthcare now. An unlikely transition for a paratrooper but it was one of the smartest moves to make.

That’s cool. Another way to always have a job.

A lot of my friends from the military are pursuing the fire career... Which has a nice pay day, and is prehospital care.

That’s cool. If you are in an urban area that has the Firefighter/EMS jobs it’s a good living. Usually with long stretches off. There’s only half a dozen full time fire departments in my whole state though, the rest are volunteer.

There are quite a lot of departments out here. However, it is quite hard to land a job. Many people go out of state and work for cheap, then apply back and land the big $$$

I heard that. Sometimes you have to get some experience to land a good job.

What’s the best way to wash your truck? I’m definitely NOT going to use the drive through that was so rough on my previous truck! So many swirls in the paint from that.
Are there any products recommended for Toyota’s?

Invest in a good pressure washer. Here's what I'm using:

Pressure Washer: https://amzn.to/2q9F6S8
Foam Cannon: https://amzn.to/2Hbscep
90 Degree Attachment: https://amzn.to/2qb0mak

If you think about it using the pressure washer will quickly pay for itself considering it's about $10 every time you go to a drive-thru or DIY wash place.

I start from the top and work down. Making sure there is lots of suds and use a clean soft washing brush and mitt. From there I go to the front and work to the back taking my time to get all up in everything. I wash the hood and work around the body. Rinsing as I go. I get the tailgate and finish with a good rim wash and rubber shine. I use Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner. Takes about an hour and half from start to finish. It’s not a quickie.

I start washing when the sun gets low to avoid baked in water spots and then dry with some Meguiar's Water Magnet towels.

I wash my truck with mud,sand and gravel to get that distinguished look,

In all actuality, I just spray mine down with soap and water and hit the interstate and do 90mph to air dry. That's when I want a quickie
