Black on black
Fall and winter are the dirtiest times of the year here and about a day's worth of driving will trash the truck all over again. I replaced the stainless tube steps with some new powdercoated replacements and thought it would be a good opportunity to clean it up. Finally, mostly, black-on-black.

I love it! There's something timeless about a clean black truck.

Nice! Too bad it is going to snow again.

ETA: You show your location as CA, but have Washington plates?

Thanks! It's a definitely an "older truck" in today's day and age but I still enjoy it.

Looks Good.
Thank you.

Thanks! Yeah, it doesn't take much to get it looking dirty.

Oh, good point about the location. I moved down there a couple years ago for work but now am back in WA. Forgot to change my location.

I had a few professional acquaintances who delivered contracts in CA, but maintained WA residency for tax purposes. Completely legal, and more than paid the WA mortgage with the tax savings. So that is why I noticed. If you have to do it again (work in CA), it is something to consider.

I had CA residency for a long time, so I paid a lot in state tax... More than my cabin in TN is worth.

The owner before me had the rockers and flares sprayed with Rhinoliner.
