I am working on another Duramax to add to the fleet as we speak. Something to DD so I can keep the miles off Casper and get it back to perfect shape.

Cleaned her up today.

Thanks Russell, I cannot believe this weather so I am taking full advantage of it while I can. I had the Pilot and the Benz cleaned up from last weekend, the truck was overddue.

It is crazy. I was out there in a T-shirt washing them up, took about 3 hours to wash both of them but they were spotless!!!:woott:

I ran out of wash soap this weekend. What's a really good one to get? I've been using meguiars deep crystal car wash for years. Would their ultimate wash & wax or Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner be any better to use?

My pickup needs some MAJOR TLC. I took some meguiars ultimate compound to the passenger side fender and door b/c I've got rust spots all over it from being to close to the garage when I'm grinding and welding. I just did it to test and I was really close to getting it all out but I'll need to use a different foam and my electric polisher to do a better job/make it easier.

My rock crawler good use a good cleaning to get all that dust off.

Phil and Josh at fastheadlights. Takes about 3 weeks to turn them around.

Well it is lights on with the new XB LEDs. FHL really knocked it out of the park with this setup. I should have everything back the first of next week.

I decided to wash my truck on Friday evening. Well the coating is literally flaking off the frame rails. I have owned the truck from new for 18 months and am a clean fanatic, wash it regularly and am simply pissed. Calling the dealer Monday to see what the corrosion warranty covers.





It was horrible.



Now it is better.
