Looks really good. I'll be doing the same thing when I'm done with my coast to coast trip in late April. How do you like those tires so far? I need new ones soon and I'm really considering the 265/70 Grabbers.

The tires are absoluetly great!!! The wet traction is unbelievable, that is comparing them to the stock 255 michelins.... With 4.10s the michelins would just spin wet or dry, really bad in the wet... Now the Grabbers don't spin at all unless I go WOT on wet pavement... Dry traction is really good, but then again the little 4.8 does not have much power, but the place I would spin before the new tires just hook...

Looks great!

What kind of durability do you get with Gold Class? Gold Class was the first wax I ever bought but I ended up switching to something else because the beading died and the slickness was gone for me after 4-5 weeks. You should give NXT 2.0 a try sometime, it's awesome stuff. It looks great on black and the slickness and beading lasts months for me.

Hmmm, I dunno, mine still beads pretty good after a month or so, I usually apply another coat every 3 months...

It is on hold for awhile, I got a piece of metal stuck in my eye while working on it, so my GF grounded me from working on it for awhile... So I started messing with my truck in the mean time... I am really waiting until I build a new house with a work shop to get started back on it... Oh an it is going to be LSX powered!!

looks sweet. I hate waxing cause it only stays clean for a day here with all the pollen in the air. Theres a car wash place here thaat waxes and buffs, cleans the wheels and puts on the good tire shine and cleans the interior for only $38 it the best deal ever
