Man that is Clean!
Finally getting some stuff done on my paternity leave including washing and waxing the pickup. Washed, waxed with Collinite 845 Insulator Wax (best wax ever). Vacummed and interior wiped down. I even tire shined my tires which i never do but it looks really good with this truck! Enjoy!

















and of course my new fishing buddy

Congrats on the new family addition!!

Truck looks really good too. Did you get new tires?? What size are those? They don't look as wide as the BFGs you had previously.

Thanks! Yeah i got some new meats. The 325/65/20 BFGs runned horribly especially on stock wheels. I hated not being able to turn. They were eating away at my UCAs lol.

Sooooo I bought some 275/65/20 or a 34"X11"R20 equivalent. No rubbing whatsoever, still sits high as they are only a little shorter. I love these Nittos, they were made for 20s lol. I have never been a fan of blackwall tires, but these look great on the truck.

Nice!
I've always thought that 275/65/20 was a good choice for a leveled F150. I run 275/60/20 without a level. It looks really good.

Truck does look great. I'll have to look up that wax. Of course I have been too lazy lately to do it myself, I pay the detail shop to do it. HaHa. Congrats on the new baby. What happened to the new style mirrors you put on? Did you not like them or have a problem with them?
