Roll it off the truck, sign, head home, wash it yourself the right way.

I would be there right now but the dealer I ordered it from is 180 miles away! Oh well, it will give them time to get all the grime off of it and prep it.
Can't wait!
Its a 2006 XLT Supercab, Medium Wedgewood Blue and Arizona Biege two tone, 5.4L 6.5' bed, tow pkg, 3.73 LS, 17" aluminum wheels and 255 OWL tires, fog lights, power seat, 6 disc CD, overhead rail system, deluxe heated turn signal mirrors, 35.7 gal gas tank, and I don't remember what else!
I am in the market for some AZ Biege wheel lip mouldings(fender flares) if anyone has upgraded theirs to aftermarket. Also looking for suggestions on a tonneau, I am seriously considering the Extang Full Tilt for $293 delivered.
I have a spray in bedliner all lined up as well as a Magnaflow muffler and tip. Next is either a 2" front levelling kit or 2" drop shackles to even it out. Then probably some better speakers and thats about it for now!

The dealer prep on mine included a full tank of gas. They had that thing shining like a new dime....the first thing I said to myself when I saw it was "Ohhhhhh Maaannnnn"
I think I repeated that about a dozen times as I hopped out of my 20 year old beater truck.
Congratulations on the new ride!

Its a 2 wheel drive so I am not sure whether to go up 2" in front or down 2" in back? I would like to see more pictures of both on a 2WD. I probably won't change the factory tires 'till they wear out so will probably go down 2" so I don't have a huge empty wheel opening. But who knows, that may change by next week!
Nice truck Justis01 ! You don't happen to work in a water plant do you? I see the tanks in the background of your pictures. I have been in water/wastewater treatment for 32 years. What tonneau do you have and do you like it?

The tonneau cover is made by Tonneau Masters. It's called a 'hinged slant side' or something like that. I'm very happy with it and it even improved my gas mileage by about 1 mpg on the highway.

Congrats on your new truck. I too bought my truck from a dealer about 40min from my house, who inturn had to go to South Carolina to get the 4x2 I wanted in the right color with the right options. Not many dealers in VA keep 4x2's on thier lots. But when they got it here I went up to the dealership and saw it in the wash bay for the first time it was the best feeling ever.
