I had the Krown spray done when my 2019 was new (Line X talked me into that when they did the bed liner), and once a year since. I'm getting this year's respray done next week.

I take it to a guy that does it on the lift, he charges $10 per linear foot cash only. I figure a couple hundred bucks a year is worth the mess on someone else. I do have spray cans of it that I use when working on the truck. It does smell for awhile but I spent years covered in cow sh;.. so I don't really mind. Doesn't smell in the truck just when you walk up to it.

So, since I lived in Wyoming for approx twelve years, please inform us which month it does NOT snow in Big Wonderful Wyoming!!! LOL
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

PS: I think the record in Rawlins is only like 35 FEET on the UP tracks!
