    Decided to clay bar the truck after performing a quick test on the paint and I'm glad I did. Coating had a ton of dirt in it.

    Now the coating is super smooth again and applied a top coating of opti-seal :D I love day light savings time and I love detailing!

    Washed and waxed. Hoping it stays clean for a few days, but thats highly unlikely:bananadead:65A30F70-FAEA-49EF-8523-7F38D382A001.jpg

    Score!! That's a pretty awesome setup. Oooohhhhh, Id LOVE a softopper.

    But if I went that route I might would consider a shell.

    Make a little mobile TTC office :D

    Yeah i love the softopper and the ability to take it off by myself, but the extra security of a hard shell is really appealing as well! I almost like my hard shell more just because of that

    So on the way home from work today, I had the windows down and the music going. I pull up at a red light on Manchaca and Slaughter, and the guy in the car next to me (Honda CRV) is staring at me incredulously over my choice of music.

    I looked over at the guy and mouthed “I’d fuck me.” He busted up.
