Shined her up today...

Never showed my truck on here when I got it, so I think now would be a good time to introduce the both of us.

My name is Chris, and I am a Jr. at Auburn University majoring in Logistics, hence the handle.

I bought my truck in December, it is a 2005 Screw 4x4 Lariat with currently 74k on the ticker, had 68k when I bought it. Also had the pictured 285/65-18 BFG AT's on it when I bought it.

Since buying I have done the following to it:

2.5" AS Level
Black Brush Guard
GPS
Black Toolbox
Bought an Edge and then sold it just Sunday.
True Dual Straights w/ 3.5" Slash Cut SS Tips
Coming within the week are 2 10" Infinity Kappa Subs, hence the appearance of the backseat in one of the pics below.

Now, let me try to get these pictures figured out:






And this one, I wanted to share a trick I learned today, I used wet tire foam on the insides of the fenders to clean it (it does go off-road often), looks great to me, very blacked out with no scrubbing!

Thanks haha. When I bought it I cleaned it every Friday when I got off work...today's cleaning was the first in over a month though lol. Always good when you can spray it with just the hose and the water that hits the ground is brown and black.

I've always liked the cheap Black Eagle stuff at Wal-Mart. Just make sure it sits for a while before you drive it because it will sling it all over the truck if you don't.

And yes, the seat does go back in, just not until I am done with my install

Yeh I tried hitting it with some decal remover the other day...I think it might be made of steel. The stuff that I use will melt duck tape but didn't put a dent in that thing.

Yessir. All of those amps, wires, distribution blocks etc all fit back there and the back of the seat still goes back on. My backseat looks stock.
