Old age and detailing.

CHEECH has one dang made up/built up looking ride. Looks tremendous. I just do not know how they get in without a ladder. My Dealer was trying to sell me a 2019 Bighorn with 6" Rough Country Kit. It was done real well, but I had to tell em, no TY. I drove the ride but had to JUMP up to get on the side step and jump out (not a PLF fanatic). Told em, I just cannot jump in/out of my ride. NOW if it had a 2" lift, I would have bought.

LOL !!!

I can't find that specific truck with the rust paint job but this is another truck built by the same people I think that has a 14" lift kit

This guy right here has a 22" lift on 44s lol

Gotta be SEMA builds.

I just wouldn’t need Amp stairs….. I’d need an Amp Ladder

im guessing @ 150-175k, art on wheels

Yeah most of them are SEMA builds but a few of these they actually drive them lol ...

I wouldn't mind a 2500 with a 12" lift for every day driving ... my old 78 K5 Blazer had a custom 14" lift kit with 44s .... fawken loved that truck and really regret selling it .....

Just wondering about all the older fellas like myself. I'm almost 52 and I love to keep my Ram looking sharp. I have found as time goes on I am not inclined to do the full wash, claybar, re-wash, dry, polish and then wax in one day. I tend to do the wash, clay bar and re-wash one day. Then put her in the garage and do the polish, buff, wax and buff the next. Anyone with me on this????

I will turn 77 in October and I just finished applying Torque ceramic coating to my 22 Laramie. Its makes that white pearl pop and was easy to apply. My truck never sits outside and gets contaminates on it, so all I had to do was make sure it was very clean. I would recommend the Torque, I think its a good product. Just my $0.02

After purchasing this truck I decided on trying a different ownership approach (I pay off my vehicles and keep them long term). Only premium microfiber towels, waterless washes when needed (3D Waterless), a spray "wax" (Griot's), and then quick upkeep detail spray usage (quite a few I've tried). That is all I've ever done to this '17 exterior. I might finally hit it this winter for the first time ever with an AOI like Klasse or something like that. Does it look as good as if I was doing more to it often (clay, polishes, glazes, sealants)? No. But it still looks better than when I pulled it off the dealer lot. And I've enjoyed spending less overall time but keeping the truck looking detailed more often with this method. Definitely to most people it looks like professional results. And I'm telling you all, that 303 Speed Detailer is the best damn thing going for a quick wipe down, $8 a bottle on Amazon here in the states.

If you just get a good coating Undrdog or a true Ceramic Coating. Not this wannabe stuff that they claim to be a true ceramic coating. It takes all of 30 minutes to do my truck and the same with the wifes jeep.
