sometimes you can spray all the stuff with WD-40 a day before the car wash and that will loosen up the dirt and other grime... then when your at the car wash just spray the underside good and a lot of it should come out. Repeat this process a few washings and it should look pretty good.

I havn't done this on the frame, just suspension stuff and axle. Everything looks good and clean when its done. However, if the frame is painted like a lot of the new vehicles (I havn't looked at the 2004+ model trucks...) it shouldn't hurt the frame any.



the sig looks fine to me... dual 19" screens

Same here, he could actually make the signature about 3-1/2" longer if he wanted to.

I am going to get me a small portable pressure washer, I've got a larger, gas powered one but it is too much trouble to pull out to wash the truck...04 your wheel wells look great!

might sound funny but this works, get a lawn sprinkler and drive over it a few times with it on, does do a good job, Griots garge makes a good undercarriage spray, so does any tire shine or dilluted trim tire shine. I have under coated my rear wheel wells myself a few cans of 3M undercoater and eatch spring just touch up spots looks good and easy to clean

I use the sprinkler trick too after a good round of offroading.

I use a tire dressing that I think is called Wet Tire or something like that. It is clear and comes in squirt bottle. I don't like the real shinny tires, so I wipe it off the tires pretty quickly after sparying them, but the stuff works great for spraying in the wheel well. I wipe it a little to even it out, then the next time I pressure wash, the dirt comes right off.

I just lay my 6 year old on his back on a creeper under the truck with a hose, and he goes to town. Of course, the truck is not running (I know someone will ask (Vader... )) and he also wears scuba goggles. He loves it, so I let him go at it. This started b/c he seen me laying down squirting water under there from under the side. He asked why I just didn't crawl under. So I dared him to. He did, and it was the start of a beautiful relationship...
