Default 2010 Updated Truck Pics... a bunch of 'em

I have a bunch of pics floating around, but I haven't had any decent ones since I've colormatched things I think. Well, I also stripped the wax off it, hit it with a clay bar for the first time ever, and rewaxed it a couple times. Let me also just say real quick, wow... the clay bar made a huge difference. I've always kept my truck pretty clean to my standards, and immaculate to other people... but after claying it, there was a whole world of difference. The only problem with claying it is I could tell that much more where there is actual slight paint damage, compared to what could just be a dead bug lol. Anyway, I took over 100 pics, and chopped it down these real quick. I have a bunch more that I like, but I'm not about to go through ALL of them now. Anyway, here's the ones I liked from the icon images lol -















These next two are no Presidential Detail quality reflections, but in the full size pic I can make out every detail in the fence and the building behind the truck... I thought it was good 'nuff for me lol

Nice pics and great looking truck. Got the KDW/2s on there?

EDIT: Which claybar did you use? I was surprised what a difference it made on the hood of mine.

I loved having them on this truck and my old colorado. The only time they lose traction is when I want them to. They're not the greatest for hooking from a dead stop on the street, but they'll throw through a corner like nothing else I've driven on. When it comes to how they are in the rain, it might as well not be raining. They act like a normal tire does on dry pavement when it's wet out. I've actually almost gotten myself in trouble going from these wheels and tires to the factory ones when I swap them out for the winter... The KDWs are amazing. I can't give an accurate idea on tread life... I do push them kinda hard from time to time
