    Washed it! From the detailer threads, got a foam cannon from HF, used Meguiar's because I like it. It took a few hours, but I think it turned out great. Still need to get the inside, maybe next weekend, since it gets dark a little after 5, now. No more overpriced automatic washes sanding my truck...whoo!

    If you don't have a pressure washer yet, go with an electric Sun Joe off Amazon. Cheap and works extremely well. I've had mine for several years and I've cleaned off driveways, house windows, and my vehicles.

    Where did you get that bracket? Need a place to mount mine besides flopping around or in the corner of the garage.

    Used to be able to wash, clay bar, and wax a dodge mega cab in a single day. These days those steps are a 3 day process.

    Appreciate it, I've got a Ryobi gas...works great, even though it can be finicky on idling.

    That's cuz you're doin' a stair step workout while washing your truck. I bet if you slammed it, you'd be able to wash, clay, polish, and wax in one shot ;)

    You're probably right, but fluid changes are a breeze with it lifted, so I suppose it's a good trade-off

    Mine came with all the badges, the overlays were bought on Etsy. I’m missing the tailgate one though.

    Me, too! I've about phased out my riding mower for a DeWalt battery push mower, and I use battery weed eater and blower. When this washer dies, don't worry, it'll be replaced with electric!

    Upgraded my supercharger coolant pump and reservoir, moved my catch can, and added DEI fire sleeve to the SC coolant lines. After installation, I put the fuse back in and it wouldn't run, the Harrop pump relay harness somehow failed...so I created my own and problem solved. The Battery hold down was pressed up against the relay, so I think that might have contributed to it failing.

    I am DONE for the night any way. Got it all put back together except for a few trim pieces that need some trimming on the new floor covering to get them on. Long weekend, slow and easy…

    Nice look. So much easier to vacuum/clean now. My ol' boy's too old to ride with me but man I would vacuum like crazy after every trip.

    I always open all the windows and doors after a trip (a lot of times during depending how long out) and use the leaf blower first. Once that is clear then I vacuum but with 2 white dogs 55 and 60 lbs you just don't get that carpet clean without a dedicated day. Thanks, started Thursday after noon removing everything. I had one rock light I added while at it, cleaned up wiring all around and moved my rear window switch. I have the cable and the switched moved but no hole. I know where to put it (previous post) but I am not cutting until I know what is going in there.

    This Vinyl/rubber compound material was not a fun install. Obviously they use the bench seat version to copy the carpet so a lot of trimming involved. I sat there and stared at the 2 for a long time and with the tiny piece going across the console center I did not see the point. I cut it in half and it made a huge difference. I had one side in at 45 minutes but not trimmed just in and located the holes. The measuring and lining up took quite a while but worth the time spent. Between steps I would stare at things and clean up and move tools trying to figure things out, no instructions came with just the basic line up cavities and trim.
