Cleaned the truck

Well, it seems that time never allows for a good cleaning of the truck. I finally got some time, so I decided to rotate the tires and perform my version of a "standard" detail on the exterior of the truck. The pictures suck as I was in a rush to the track, but you get the idea...

Eight months and 15k miles ago I started with this...



After a cleaning...





Overall I'm very happy with this truck! It's not the best offroad rig, but it does ok. The ride is great and I still get 14 - 17 mpg mixed despite being lifted.

Yeah the MPG thing is strange. I drive normal, some quick starts and 70ish on the interstate. My buddy has an 04 with a 6" and 35's and he gets the same as you. I can't camplain!

Thumbs up

Awesome truck! I have a SCAB w/ the same color scheme, but mine is only lifted 6" w/ 35's.

What kind of front shocks do you have and what brand fender flares are those?

scabs weigh less than screws don't they? could attribute to some of the MPG discrepancies between some drivers.
