UPDATE: SCREW AAMCO. I came to a small driveshaft shop here and within 5 minutes he had my driveshaft off and showed me the ujoint that was broken. $100 fix or $800 driveshaft? Aamco is a scam.
Glad it wasn't your driveshaft, but damn; $100 to fix a u-joint? I'm in the wrong business...

Thank you. It has Rancho quick lift leveling struts up front and stock ride height in the back, with 33" tires. The flares are Bushwacker street style, which has less tire coverage than others, but I still want to add spacers eventually. I wish I had bought the Mopar Power Wagon flares, I think they look better.

I used Hybrid V07 high gloss spray sealant and was very impressed with the results. I noticed the best results on the chrome, it brought back that mirror finish. I picked up a 16oz bottle from Amazon and already used half of it on my truck and daily driver.

I tried something new this time instead of wax and used Nu Finish, which isn't technically a polish - more like a synthetic sealant. I got the Hybrid V07 to make the truck more glossy and so far I'm pleased.

I know what you mean and its hard to tell what they really look like from pics online. The reason I wish I had bought the Mopar flares is they appear to be less "rounded over" as they meet the body of the truck. Anytime I see a Power Wagon I think "Dude those fender flares look sharp!"

nu finish isnt bad at all, i used it before i found chemical guys stuff



ive used this on my show truck and many other applications and got a beautiful shine out of it



Chemical Guys WAC20616 - Slick Finish Cleaner Wax (16 oz)


My result, i applied it with a machine...

It really brought out even more depth in my paint and seemed to make the flames pop like crazy

This is the hood of my 2014 my neighbors bought from me 2 years ago, this truck has been washed 3 times since ive sold it, and it was washed with cheap auto parts crap, but here is a pic of it in the rain with 2 year old wax on it from chemical guys, and the water is still beading up...

Truck is filthy dirty and it kills me to see it nasty all the time, never sell your baby to anyone close to you, you will regret it

This is insta-wax from chhemical guys, that stuff is amazing, can be applied in direct sunlight and is obviously durable as hell

my favorite part of that pic is how well it shows the shadows of the flames in the paint, my painter did so many little touches like that where you have to look at it just right to catch it
