    My 2017 SR5 Inferno (rip) was definitely brighter than the neighbors 2018 OR DC.

    Sick Bikes! I am in the market for one, how do you like that Honda? Debating between going red or ktm/huskie.


    I kept my truck clean for like a day! If you want to keep it clean I would suggest not getting a dog :cheers:

    Thanks,
    Love my Honda , mine is 2017, I should wait a year to get the 2018, because the E start, but other than that its been a great bike to me.
    My friend got the 2018 Husky Jason Anderson replica, that bike is nice, expensive but nice!!! the details and parts that come standard with that bike are all top knoch , but is like 3 to 4k more than the Honda.
    Also Husky future can be uncertain since its own by KTM. I love KTMs, I had KTM's in the past. If you can afford a new KTM, that will be the way to go, lighter and faster, period :thumbsup:

    Truck definitely gets used for truck things, but I spend serious time detailing the exterior and cleaning the interior.

    My exterior will get worn down wayyyy before my interior.

    I was super anal about it for roughly 1 week. Then it subsided to its current level, which is mainly a high level of respect for the truck, and the care that goes along with that.

    Didn’t see mine clean for about a month or two. It was all dusty when I bought it and didn’t want the dealer monkeys washing and skratching my paint. Then I was off-roading every weekend so it was dirty for a while since new.

    I was recently on a road trip and pulled over to a McDonalds around midnight to grab a quick bite. Now normally I don't eat inside the truck but I was on a tight schedule and it was late, plus i was tired. So I have my dipping sauces lined up on my center console thinking that was the flattest safest spot near me to dip my nuggets. I'm about 3 nuggets in and go for a good solid dip in some BBQ.. (keep in mind, I'm dipping with my right hand and sipping on my coke with my left) as i lift the nugget from the little BBQ cup it sticks and takes the cup with it and having a coke in my other hand i couldn't do anything in time and before i knew it the cup of BBQ sauce fell from the nugget and all down the crevice between my seat and center console.:annoyed: Needless to say, that definitely stung quite a bit but luckily most things can be cleaned.

    I'm pretty damn OCD about my stuff. Truck, bike, and guns. If I show someone one of my classic Smiths and they gotta touch every damn part of it, it gets wiped down before going back in the safe.

    Had new tires and wheels put on today, place is only 6 miles from my house. When I pulled out on the side street a building had the balls to catch on fire causing them to shut the road down.

    There was a dirt road I could have took that was about 10 miles out of my way, but my truck was spotless, so I waited. Then it fucking rained, should have took the dirt road.

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    First pinstirpe was less then 13 hours after signing the papers. It's been downhill from there.

    I'm not ashamed to say it, but I'm a freak about mine. Luckily I live in CA and don't even have to worry about wet roads :bananadance: Don't get me wrong I do take the road less traveled at times....

    It pays to take care of your future classic.

    I shred the gnar in mine, otherwise what’s the point in owning an off road utility vehicle. But I take good care of it.

    I totally understand the guns and bike. After use or any type of even slight admiration something is getting buffed and/or oiled. But I definitely fall under the category of it's a just a truck. Not taking away from anyone here's investment and hard earned money, but damnit I think it looks better dirty!

    They look amazing dirty. There are times it breaks my heart to wash off the memories of my last muddy trip, but as long as there is decent wax under the mud I let it ride for awhile

    I use mine like a truck but after play time is done I clean it up. Spent too much and waited too long for this truck and it’s the very first new vehicle (and probably last) that I’ve ever bought. My money comes too hard and I need this sled to last me at least as long as my last one and I had that one over 15 years.

    I try to keep the exterior waxed and looking new. Inside my dog has been in the cab with me since the day I brought it home. Most times I will wash the exterior and not even shake off the floor mats. I treat my house the same way. Outside I will keep up, inside I am a slob.

    People always make snarky comments about how nice my vehicles look. All I do is wash it once a week, unless it is raining. My dad taught me that Sunday was church and car wash day before you could go play with your friends. Well I don't do church, but I still wash my truck every weekend.

    Yep, still anal after 22 years and 412,000 miles which has resulted in a fine old truck.
