Sprayin' Mud
For those of you that haven't seen my previous post, I just put a 6" Fabtech, 295/70R17 Terra Grapplers and 17X9 AR Craters on my '06 Screw. Check it out...
I am very happy with everything so far. It handles well on the highway and in the city. It looks nice, big, and level. It's quiet. (It is guzzling more gas.)
I do have one gripe, though. It has stayed dirty. I don't mind it being dirty every now and then...but I'm used to a shiny truck. Granted, the weather in south Louisiana is almost tropical...so that doesn't help. I know I sound like a pu$$y, but...
Any cleaning tips? Is there anything I can do to keep it clean?

Beautiful truck, i plan on putting the same lift on mine next month. As For staying clean, you are kinda screwed with black, wax might help a little but other than that, maybe head down to a car x or auto zone or whatever you have down there and ask them what might help

Just one question....
Where do you keep the step ladder?
I installed black step bars last weekend...believe it or not, they do not really help anyway...they are so tight to the bottom of the truck that you have to step up fairly high anyway. I will update my pics soon...
Oh well, I'm willing to deal with the climb.
I will eventually put fender flares on it, I guess. I don't wanna screw into my truck but I also HATE having a dirty truck. I can deal with it...but I do work an office job (auditing) and I'd like it to be clean during the week at least, as it sits in the parking lot with a dozen of my coworkers' beamers.

I'm liking the Bushwacker Pocket Style. I think that would give me coverage of the tires, and they would look sweet as hell.
