    what product do you use? where do you live? does the truck stay outside in the sun? how often do you polish them?

    Looks good! Just fyi - ChrisFix has a great vid on how to do this and keep your "gainz" without having to redo it annually. My girls and I have done it for each of their vehicles and, two years in, they are still clear.

    Oil change today and tire rotation. Finally ordered some replacement OEM headlights as I am tired of cleaning off haze every other month. Also, ordered the protectant film that goes on the flares as mine is pretty gross for a 10 year old truck. Ordered new fender flare clips as one of my driver’s rear flare has come loose. :facepalm:

    I use Mother's headlight restoration kit that attaches to my impact/drill. Lived in OC, CA all my life and now here in Tampa as of a year ago and I do this about 1 year to ever 1.5 years and truck is outside probably about 70% of the time but usually in some sort of shade if I can help it.

    I'll check this out, thanks!

    Exactly. I was driving down the freeway the other morning and I heard mud tires in between tracks/songs and I looked around for a truck passing me or whatever and nope, mine was the only vehicle near me lol. They were quieter when they first got installed. I don't recall BFG KO/KO2 being like that, it has Goodyears right now.

    Did you install longer studs or did you only get a handful of turns out of the lugs when you installed? I got about 6.5 turns out of the acorn lugs doesnt feel like enough to me.

    Haven't done anything to it today :(
    Tomorrow I'll be cleaning up the wires that run down my A-pillar (should've done that last weekend).
    I might also pull the transfer case skid plate if it's warm enough.
