This is the typical monthly process of cleaning and treating the wheels and tires on the truck..

Before.


Hand wash wheel (including inner wheel barrel) with dawn dish soap, and rinse.


Apply Adam's Rubber and Tire Cleaner (1:1) with iK Foaming Pump Sprayer and let sit.


Thoroughly scrub tire using various tire brushes.


Rinse clean.


Dry with compressed air.


Apply Carpro Perl with spray bottle, diluted 3:1 and let soak.


Even out tire dressing with square foam applicator pad and let rubber absorb until dry to touch.

You must be divorced? If I spent that kinda time with my truck, my wife would probably pack up & leave! Lol

You should be proud though- one of the best builds here! My 17 is coming along- slowly

Thanks for sharing...

After replacing the factory hubs, I assume you lost the auto vacuum locker right? Did you remove the vacuum lines and cap them off or something? I assume this just means now when you want 4hi/lo you just need get out and lock manually as if you didn't have the ESOF. I would think you would have to cap the vacuum lines or something to keep from triggering some of the electronic nannies eventually when using the ESOF now. Witnessed any problems with this so far? Does Warn make a unit compatible with the auto hubs maybe?

Cleaned the hell out of this thing after a couple trips out of town. I’ve only been able to do my routine washes, but I had extra free time this weekend to finally give her a deep clean which included the undercarriage, and applied a quick coat of Carpro Reload to help the paint shine a bit more.

Your attention to detail on that truck is absolutely stunning! The tires and lift turned out awesome! What's next on the mod list?

Ordered a set of the KD Fabworks brackets that allow for the installation of four (4) Baja Design Squadron Pro’s in place of the two (2) oem fog lights. I’ll be running a single white pair, wired to the factory fog light harness which will allow for normal oem function. The second amber pair will be wired separately to the #1 upfitter switch. The quality of these lights are amazing, and match their price tag.

I'll get more pictures soon of the installation.

Do you have any rubbing with the 37x13.50s with 5" backspacing 17x9s?

I want to go 37x13.50 trying to figure out my options. I'd like to do 17s or 18s. A few 17x8.5's I like are 4.75 backspacing...

Thinking I'm either going to do a 3.5" level or 4" radius arm kit.
