I'm subscribing Shaun. Truck looks good so far!
I noticed you have the same factory steelies on your '09 that I've got on my '06. What you got in mind for replacements? I will say that yours look slightly better than mine do right now, though. Lol They started to get some surface rust on 'em a couple years back from crawlin' through PA's wonderful winter weather. A cheap fix at the time was Rustoelum. Stopped the rust, but now my wheels are stained an ugly brown mess! I'm hoping this year I'll get the time to paint them. I've got all the supplies, just ran out of time and nice weather last fall. They're going to be Medium Wedgewood Blue, just like the rest of the truck. Hub caps will get painted silver maybe?
Got a bunch of other things going on right now so finding the time is the hard part.
