    Thanks and are the fogs fairly bright and worth the money?

    Edit: also is that a Pelfrey built rack and what size light bar? I'm loving your setup.

    They are well worth it. Since they are SAE they are legal dogs and they put out a ton of light.

    It’s a prinsu rack and think the lightbar is 32” it’s an extremeled slim bar. Thanks, it’s been a work in progress

    Hey JD. Sorry for the late reply. Honestly, it's not bad in my opinion at all. Its got a great tone to it, especially wants it's warmed up. It's pretty quite in my opinion. Believe it or not, the Air Intake added a nice sound to the truck. I noticed that more than the sound of the exhaust.

    This is one of the reasons why I chose MGM. You can get that deep gloss finish without the constant battle with dust and dirt showing of a black car.

    I spent the weekend polishing out the minor swirls and scratches that the dealer added. Sealed and waxed it just in time for the first rain here in Southern California.

    Thanks meng. I really enjoy washing and caring for my cars. It's my "me" time.

    It actually wasn't bad to start. Just some really minor swirls from bad washing technique while it was with the dealer. But it was certainly causing the clear coat to be hazy. The car was otherwise pretty clean. Didn't even require clay bar. So first did a normal wash and dry. I used a citrus based car soap to strip any old wax off the car.

    Then I did the following:
    1. Meguiar's Ultimate Polish - used my Portal cable and a Chemical Guys green hex pad which is a light polishing pad. This step removed all the swirls.
    2. Meguiar's Synthetic Sealant 2.0 - Applied by hand. Buffed off by had after 30 minutes. Let it cure for 24 hours.
    3. Meguiar's M26 Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Yellow Wax - Again, applied by hand, then buffed off by hand.
    4. Profit :bananadance:
    I have tried a lot of pro, boutique brand polishes and waxes and for me, they're really not worth the price and inconvenience of ordering them. I find Meg's off the shelf stuff to be quite good for the weekend warrior. Groits is really good stuff too. Just takes some minor know-how to use them.

    Terrific shot and a great looking rig. Inspiration to say the least.

    What lift and cap do you have?

    Every time I see your truck, in amazed at how meaty the 265s look on there. Pretty sure that will be my next tire. I thought I would need the lt due to the deeper tread, but I don't think it's worth the stiffness/weight.
