    Ran through something on the road and kicked up some type of gooey crapola on the side of the T4R. Tried to was off at the car wash but wouldn’t come of, just smears. Light grey in color Kinda like chewing gum but way to much to be that. Looking for recommendations to remove without hurting clear-coat. What do others use? Thanks.

    Thanks. Another use for WD40. It did the trick. Usually don’t worry much about such things, but I just bought the truck.

    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    Another thing that cuts through a lot of stuff is Coke/Pepsi. That stuff will cut nearly anything. It's amazing. Give it a try Cheap, and available anywhere.

    Good luck!
