    Chrome won't take u home.....black will take u back, lol...

    I sanded, primered, painted flat black my bumper and it turned out great. Happy with it! Darker color trucks look way better with no chrome, lighter color trucks can do either. Just my 2cents. :D

    Eh yea i like for my shiz to be lookin good and all but damn everytime i spend 5+ hours to get it there something happens and i either have to go pull someone out or it rains or one way or another it finds a way to sling more frickin dirt up on my bed and doors. Ive got a way to take care of all the scratches no problem, dents on the otherhand...eh, well, Shit happens lmao. Its a truck right :notsure: :D

    yea but everytime you wash it you are giving it that much more attention to keeping the paint in good condition. 5 hours is plenty to keep it lookin nice!

    See if you didnt give it any attention at all in-between all those recoverys for buddies and rains storms then it would build up and you have that much more of a shitty lookin truck.

    clean or not. washin and waxing regularly pays off when you want it to look good.

    thus sexy pictures that i got the other day... nothin better than a clean truck in some tall grass

    Just busting your ball man, My whit looks clean no matter howw dirty it is so honestly i dont even mess with it, ive probably washed it 5 times in the 2 years ive owned it lol it never looks any better when its washed vs not being washed so i just leave it be and let the rain take care of things!
