What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

[Redstripe19]

What’s the 3rd for wheels? Just a different soap for wheels or something?

Exactly, for the wheels with a different soap and different mitts and brushes. He starts with the engine , then wheels, then the rest from top to bottom with a different mitt for the bottom third and rocker panel. He uses some kind of detail spray or something on his drying microfiber.

When I get another sports car I’m going to get a foam cannon thing, the 3 buckets with grates in the bottom and some wheel brushes.

I love washing cars, just hate drying. I used to have a DI setup that worked okay. I still have a high speed blower that works great for wheel nooks and crannies and for those spots that water drips out of when you move the car. It’s loud and I have to wear earplugs

I apply a special bronzer to the tires. I feel it gives them a unique look. I find the bronzer gets in all the door jams and makes the cameras hard to see out of though. Only time will tell if I stick with this method

Finished my wheel swap. Cut the axles down and fit the center caps. The wash and wax to get the camping off her... only used one bucket though

Oh and got the weather tech floor mats. Love em

Back to looking fresh!
Are those 33s? The caps look so much better. How did you grind the axles? Dremel?

How often do you go camping? Are you going to remove the front air dam or let nature do it for you?

Hard to tell because of the black and white picture of a black truck, but I guess they don't look quite as stuffed as the first pictures in this thread.....dunno

Probably stock-ish sized 275/70-17's if i had to guess. Can you even really fit much bigger without a lift? maybe a 285/70

Forgot to snap the first one before I started so you can see the e is on already.

I try to go 30-40 days a year.
My best friend has an f150 and he still hasn’t torn his off in a year. Mine snagged a few times this trip but didn’t come off.
I like the trimmed look one member did. Trimmed to about one inch. It looked really good

285/70/17... they’re a couple percent bigger than stock. Essentially a dead match to the stock diameter. And due to spring settling I get a tiny bit of rub in reverse at full lock. Almost imperceptible.

Thanks...great looking truck

So I ended up bringing back in my ‘19 white platinum xlt max with the 201a package. It just didn’t have enough options for the wife I guess ‍

ended up making a trade for ‘19 agate black limited max with the 300a along with Navi and the vista roof. It is much nicer... lol. I also had them swap over my 22” platinum style black rims and tires to go along with it

 

[Dice Roll]

Looks awesome. Can’t imagine the beating on a trade like that though.

The new ride! 2020 Fx4. A blank canvas. I am a fly fisher, kayaker and all round outdoor person. First step is some kind of roof system with Kayak rack and Fly rod holders.
