I washed mine on Monday and after my trip to Dallas and back this week (including about a half day sitting on a dusty jobsite up in Allen) you would never know it.....

I'm scared to wash mine. I think all that'd be left of it is the tires

Mine has started to have pretty bad clearcoat flaking. Started on a small area of the trunk and has now spread over 65 percent of trunk and a couple spots on rear bumper and now LR fender is about to start. One of the reasons I don't wash it anymore. More moisture on the paint and it flakes more

The clear coat started coming off of mine too. I'd say around sometime in 1998

Just bought the boy a swimming pool. Decided to get a good one this time. Ended up with a 14×42" metal sided, came with the ground cloth, pool cover, ladder, cleaning tools and a few other things

I'm with ya' bro -- especially up in your part of the country where they salt the heck out of the roads in the winter! Keeps the miles, wear and tear off your good vehicles....

I have a feeling were getting storms today. Hot, very humid and just feels strange outside.

We had a 50% chance of rain and storms. Looks as if it is all sliding South of us. Athens is getting it pretty good though.

If you have the kind of space where you can have one of those things sitting around in the garage I tip my hat to you!

I was sorta right. Had a pretty big storm develop to the west and just barely missed the north side of town. I'd guess 5 miles from the house but it sure was nice with the cool wind off the storm. Dropped from 92 to 73 within a few minutes

Have a friend from high school and she was always a Chevy girl. Finally when she was trading off her 2012 silverado with the 6.2 (which my EB beat and totally pissed her off) she got a 2014 f250 with the 6.2. Had it about 6 months and had health problems and had to sell it, bought a infinity SUV. Just recently she was ready for another suv and I finally talked her into a EB Explorer.

Week later and this is on her facebook





Gotta watch them EB's they will get ya in trouble everytime.

Also have the 60 gallon compressor to run it. Looking for a balancer now and by next year this time should have a 10,000lb+ 2 post lift in there as well. Yes patman it all works 100% except for an air leak by a diaphragm looking thing by the tank on the back of it.
