  1. So, this truck is the nicest anything i've owned in a long time (almost 20 years). I f'n love this truck! So, last sunday i spent almost the entire daylight day clay barring the truck. It was smooth as silk! Next day starts my work week. I put about 500 miles M-F. Little by little i see the truck getting dirty/dusty. But i'm relishing the thought of washing it friday after work.

    It washes like shit. I thoroughly rinse it first and then use Meguires Wash & Wax with a really nice wash mitt. Feels like f'n sand paper! I'm affraid of trying to scrub too hard and damage the finish. I had used almost an entire bottle of mothers spray wax with the clay bar last sunday and i figured after a good wash today i'd be ready for a hard wax tomorrow. But i feels like it needs to be clayyed again! WTF?

     

    Can someone please give me some tips on how to keep it smooth?

    Thanks

  2. I'd say I'm a huge fan but most stuff past Justice is meh. The Black album is slowly creeping into my playlist but I just can't stomach anything beyond that. I really miss those golden days of metal 83-89. Had really high hopes for Death Magnetic but...it doesn't measure up for me. I wonder where they'd be today if Cliff had survived that crash?

  3. I got a good look under my truck today and saw that mine are completely shot. Where can i buy these? I cant believe they are still on as they are both hanging by a thread. Would this cause extra "bouncyness" back there? I hear a rattle or maybe its excessive wheel hop when the rear goes over rough road but i cant figure out whats causing it.

    Thanks

  4. Well, even though I have 30K+ equity in my house, decent credit, its still going to take 6-8 weeks for a home equity loan to go through :icon_bs: Tomorrow I'm going to check with a credit union i've been to and see. I'm still intending on borrowing the money either way but please dont count on me to be "the" buyer. When i finally get the $$ in hand, i'll contact you. If its still available great, if not, my loss. Hope I can get this worked out.

    Thanks

  5. I got em. Got any a little less close up ? lol Those were great close ups. How bout some over all shots of the body and maybe the rims?

    And like I said, i'm going to stop by the bank tomorrow after work and get the ball rolling. We've got plenty of equity in our house so this "shouldn't" be any problem. But you never know. I'll keep you informed.

    Thanks

  6. I know I'm new and I'm not a tire kicker. I'm very interested. I'll need to stop by my bank after work monday to start the borrowing process. Where exactly are you located? I'm in the Milwaukee WI area and i'm sure i'd have to fly out and drive it home. The mileage is higher than I'd like but it seems you have taken good care of the truck and supercharger is a nice bonus. Are there pics to see? Any vids?

    Thanks
