Every weekend I wash and dry my truck, then I vacuum the floors, clean the interior, Windex the windows, and spray on some tire shine to all four tires. And it looks brand new, every weekend.

My weekend, at least this weekend (Weds-Thurs) I am clay barring the truck. Not looking forward to that. Did the chrome wheels last weekend. That definitely sucked.

Umm haven't had a weekend or day off since summer started, but I did put alittle over 10,000lbs behind her, bring the tractor into town from the farm to move some dirt. I rained the other day though so it washed some of the dust/dirt off of it....

Same here!! Between working 60-65+ hours a week since late March, and my daughter, who was born on 5-9, I haven't had much time to do much with the truck. But this weekend I did manage wash her Saturday morning, then Saturday afternoon we put about 200miles on her going to my in-laws and back. Then Sunday when momma and the little one were taking a nap I worked on the mounting bracket for my FX2 lower grille.

So this past weekend was the most that has been done to her in the last 2-3 months.

I beat the crap out of it just like I do the rest of the week. The only time off my truck has had in some time is last week when I went to Texas, I left it with my mechanic to have some work done.

He got out all the plugs without breakage, but it did take him all day, lots of blaster, and an impact to do so.

He also washed it for me. Normally he does not do that, but he said all the dirt on my truck was getting onto the Porsche in the next bay, so it was easier to just wash mine to keep the shop clean.

I was confused to find a dark blue truck when I got back, I was convinced mine was flat brown it had not been washed in so long, at least 4-5 months.

This time of year in Colorado, it rains every day, so I just make sure that the interior looks emaculate!
