Did seafoam in the oil. Drove her 30 miles changed the oil with castrol syn and a purelator boss filter. I washed her and then it rained while I was vacumming her out. So the meguires ultimate compound and wax have to wait until probably Monday sometime when this rain stops.

Ditto. Assuming it's completely useless as a means of self defense, it this an elderly or responder deal?

They are meant for closing the door to keep finger prints off the paint. Mount them on the door jamb and when you close the door, you push against these instead of the freshly washed door panel or glass.

Let me know how long it takes to start to stop dripping and seal up (solidify)?

FWIW, it usually takes about a week to setup with the waxy consistency after application from my experience.

This picture was taken today but I put the film on that area of the frame about 5 days ago. It did help that it was warm out the next couple days after application. It seemed to smooth out and "set" to what you see in this picture. I finished the rest of the truck today.

As long as you keep the stream moving and don't pool it, it doesn't drip.

Installed my Bilstein 5100s front and rear this morning, set them at 2.8. Decided to order a 1" block for the rear as soon as I was done...

Pictures when I get it out of the shop for alignment Tuesday!

Also anyone know of a place to get wheels cheaper than custom offset??? really want to get new rims and move up to 35s ASAP!!!

Check treaddepot.com . They'll normally give 150 off for a tire and wheel combo it could help save u a little. Prices are pretty good on there too. Also check out "mrwheeldeal" they have an Instagram and website you can see what they have to offer

Been absent for awhile. It is cheaper that way lol. But today, traded in my 14 Express Regular cab for a 2016 1500 SLT w/ big horn package crew cab. The dealership near me is having them 30% off to push more trucks.

I think we bought the same truck. Care if I ask what 30% off was?
I believe I ended up at $34,986. Just curious, and you don't have to say if you don't want to.

Dropped it off at the custom shop today...so far they've got part of the vinyl matte black wrap done. I get it back Friday due to other things being done also, but man it's going to be a long 4 days.

Looks nice

Please let me know how the wrap holds up. I'm trying to get honest feedback on whether to recommend that my employer try wrap instead of special order paint. Thanks!!
