Better keep the undersides rinsed off as much as possible Shaun.

Did you pick out rims yet btw?

I have them picked out Tim. Just need to have the money to order the wheels. And I will be running the truck through the carwash on monday and getting an undercarriage wash as well. Costs a few more bucks but it is worth it. Then I can get the truck scheduled for a trip to the detail shop.

they started doing that here too... but they only do it on the main strip when the roads have already frozen... Vdot will get out and hit the highways though before it gets here... if they dont do that or salt it becomes sand land after the freeze...

Would be 18 inch Tim. Just an inch up from what is on the truck stock and then wrap them in at least 34" tires.
