Digging your 2016 Sport wheels on your truck. It's my favorite "current" wheel.

But I do love my 14 STX Sport wheels, I'd be hard pressed to swap at this point.

They always reminded me of the lightning wheels. Probably the main reason why I tried to seek them out, I always liked that design.

Going to put the Raptors back on for Winter this weekend, just waiting to hear back and see if I can get a deal on some KO2 take-offs.

Ended up at 18.5 with 1900 miles. Was hoping for around the 19 mark but all the climbing and wind didn't help




But I was able to do a new record

Thanks! That's the thing, when it's clean. It's too close to black to ever be clean

Where did you find a road that's 40 miles downhill?

What tune did you run on the trip?

Does anyone know of a good bug remover??? I can't find anything over the counter that works great. So far the best I have found is turtle wax bug and tar. It does ok but not great. Gets the majority off but leaves a bit also. Hate to keep scrubbing on the paint to get em off.

Poorboy's Bug Squash and Scrubber sponge. I know it isn't Over the counter, but the best stuff I have ever used. I stock it by the gallon.

Only Over the counter product that I thought did anything was "Bug B Gone". I'm pretty sure it was at Advance Autoparts when I was in IL.

Only other option IMO is simple Green Diluted. Let it dwell a bit, but not dry. then get at it with a good wash mitt or even a sponge.

Plan on re-applying wax.

I will order the poor boys.. thanks for the tip. Bug remover is the only OTC detailing supplies i use. Just didn't want to by a gallon jug of stuff and it not be good. Is the scrubber pretty soft or stiff? I got one of the bug sponges at the parts store and that thing is rough! I refuse to use it. Guaranteed swirl city

I use simple green concentrate 2:1 ratio

Soak in, high pressure spray, repeat if necessary, then normal wash

Well it's 19 miles just to get off of Pikes Peak.

And that much run time looks like you were doing about 30-35 mph average
