Clay bar actually goes faster than waxing (atleast for me) and imo comes out much better. nothing sticks to the paint it makes it so smooth. prolly improves fuel mileage too

Did I hear pizza and brownies? And what...dessert pizza!? Oh man, now I am not going to be able to get that out of my head!

I went in to Cabela's last year about this time, and actually got fitted up with a bow that was pretty decent. They spent an extra 30 minutes passed closing to get it right for me. In the end, it just wasn't quite right, and it was more money than I wanted to spend at the time. I have been checking craigslist all the time, but nobody is really selling them. Maybe I will just have to suck it up and buy one. But the truck will give me dirty looks if the money goes anywhere other than it.

Good evening guys.
Josiah do they have some sort of trade-in for bows like that?

Folks just a reminder if you want a CT chapter shirt or sweatshirt go to the link to order it.

WOW!!! andy and greg that is way too professional for us, i guess our chapter is really moving up in the world! i submitted an order, and then another just because that was so much fun

andy i hope all went well with the wee one today, i guess my parents missed your call. they were out and about all over the state today. i guess he had a 2 hour physical therapy session, and when they got home he went right to sleep (around 7pm).

ok here it is, the 2003 F-350 crew cab long bed 4x4 6.0 king ranch

this is the before shot:

and after clear cab lights and mirror lights:

and a side profile:

and a shot of the dirty unconditioned interior:


the 2" leveling kit is installed but it was dark so i dont have any pics of that. i think i may need to get an adder leaf, i gotta see how the trailer sits under it. the leveling kit i got was only 2" and the truck has 4" difference front to rear stock.

Good morning CT
Wow it is chilly out, 44*
I had to kick the heat on in the house.
Aaron the truck looks great ( too nice for you ) and have you thought about air bags for the rear. I love mine
We took my youngest son for peanut testing yesterday and found out that he is not allergic.

hey thats great news!

no airbags in the rear, if anything i need the rear to sag more when the gooseneck goes on. the truck (like the OBS) is too tall for the gooseneck.
