    haha i use a step stool to get above the middle of the windows when waxing it, but when I was it I just reach, unless im doing the front windshield or the hood. And to get the roof I just hop into the bed.

    looks good..... looks like it sits a little low to the ground though..... you should try lifting it and maybe putting some decent sized tires on it. what are those 37's? phfff.... all the real off-roaders are running at least 44's :)
