    I got the Bamf mounts for free. So figured why not try and fab them up in a way. They are cut down so they won’t be so tall up the frame.

    I use Surf City Garage Professional Extra suds balanced soap. But for easy buying the Meguiars Gold is a good OTC soap. Throw 3oz in the bottle then rest with warm water. G2G

    It’s the brand name. Short name is ESBW. It’s PH balanced so it can dry on your paint and not spot. You just re wet it and it’ll rinse off.

    I prefer natural cleaning, a healthy dose of dust>rain>air dry.

    i try to keep mine clean, seems to stain the hood wrap easily if i leave it on. This past weekend i just came home and parked it. Going back out tomorrow so would be wasted effort.

    Your truck looks clean everytime you post a picture of it. I bet the dry desert climate helps with that though.

    Ya it just gets dusty. I avoid mud like the plague. And it really hasn’t gotten much use since January or so. Hopefully I’ll have more free time this next semester with a lighter schedule load

    Can't avoid it here. It's on paved roads when it rains... Any gravel road is gonna have dirt water puddles on it that make a mess of the paint. The clear puddles in the PNW confused me haha

    Try black paint...

    Some, Suspension and stuff, tires, maybeh some armor.
    I did a water crossing that was closely followed up by some silt beds this past weekend. the runner is now that desert poop color I have seen on some of the trucks around here.

    If i blow on it I create a little cloud of silt. fun times.


    ... Yah I really should rinse it off haha
