    You got to do it by hand man, and clay, wax, and seal it.
    You're just attracting more dirt and dust by using auto car washes

    ding ding ding. In the summer I was by hand but in the winter our outside water is shut off and it would freeze before I could dry the damn thing anyway.

    Oh of course I know that. All I was getting at is my tires spray shit all over the sides of my truck immediately. So it's not worth cleaning anymore lol.

    I've always wanted to try washing a vehicle in a garage in the winter... too bad I couldn't fit a motorcycle let alone a truck in our garage.

    Went to stutton to shoot and test my tires in some snow. Perfect amount out there to mob around and they did great. Put a few hundred rounds through each gun and caught an awesome sunset on the way back.

    Thanks! These tires were pretty damn awesome in the snow. I can definitely tell the width helps with flotation. And I wasn't even aired down lol. Snow wasn't THAT deep though. At least a foot, maybe a little more.

    Normally 35. Sometimes 30. These tires are a lot stiffer than my old ones so I should try dropping it to soften the ride a bit. Tire shop aired them to 55 when I had them put on...my kidneys did not agree with that haha.

    I'd guess 30 is about right for your rig, you're a lot heavier pig than I am! Anything but 55 though haha.

    Same tires and rims as you. I'm running 30 psi up front and 28 psi out back. Set pressure using chalk method.

    I've tried the chalk test a few times but the roads are always wet and it just all disappears when I check them. I'll try it again when the roads are clear of snow.

    Threw a p0750 code the other day. Second time it's happened. "Shift Solenoid A Malfunction." Last time was a few months ago. Cleared it and it's ran fine since. Cleared it again and attempted to drop it off at a transmission shop today. They wouldn't look at it because I cleared the code...Kind of pissed about that but whatever. Better than them throwing parts at it I suppose...

    Yeah I suppose lol. I had a spare vehicle to use for a week though, that's what bums me out. I doubt I'll have that available to me next time it happens.

    So, uh...some random guy touched my truck today. Like, he was just out there feeling up my bumper, fenders, and groping my Rigid lights...Im not sure if I should be worried, but I feel like I just got cheated on.
