KMAC big let down was hoping to see the whole truck covered in mud when I viewed the pics lol
That's the most mud you'll ever see on my Pavement Princess I am surprised with how little mud was on it though. The vast majority of it was underneath and it was pretty much like a mix of concrete because of how much gravel was in it. Live ants too when I had my hands in there digging the mud out two days later.

Lmao y'all don't have car washes down there? My new truck has seen some mud already with the summer coming around it will probably see more. A few of us are planning to go to Ohio off road park and a off road park in WV to ride quads. I just hope I don't get to care free (drinking) and decided to play in the mud with the truck.

We do, but none that will get down and clean the entire truck off properly. And if there is, I ain't paying someone to do it! It took a long time to get everything off from underneath the truck, even with my pressure washer. Yup, keep the truck away from the mud, buddy! It's not worth it!

Hey, the inner redneck got the best of me there . . .

What color combo did you end up going with? Two tone grey on the inserts?

Charcoal grey on the outside and back and medium grey down the center without the rear map pouch. They are custom ordered. Usually they are black outside and all you can get is different color inserts. Should be real close to the factory 2 tone grey interior.

Will do. Due to the custom colors and map pouch delete they said it can take up to 3 weeks.

Got an oil change, washed it, finally got around to hooking the bluetooth stereo up to my cell phone, and bought the IWE actuator (noticed the other day that my 4HI doesn't kick in, hoping this will fix it).

On a related note, this is my first black vehicle and I finally understand how hard it is to keep clean. Ridiculous lol. And no more touchless automatic car washes (I was in a hurry), they don't really do the job. Back to the power wash.

I got a used Volant CAI for cheap, wanted the cleaner engine bay look, and the more motor sound under throttle but never would buy a new intake for the little they do, but would only do an enclosed one. I'm happy with it.
