I typically run mine through a spray wash before work twice a week at a car wash that's literally like 100' from our parking lot... it's nice to pull in all shined up and park for work for the day!

Thanks! You'd be correct on the wheels. Funny story actually, my truck came with the crappy steel chromie 17s,,, In my morningly craigslist search one day I came across a guy wanting to trade these 20s for 17s with good tread tires straight across. Met him in a Advanced Auto parking lot and swapped em out, my setup was brand new seeing as it's off of a 13' and his wheels were off of a 2010 but the tires were pretty much brand new with 2,500 miles! So I upgraded to 20s with pretty much same mileage tires as my truck for free and his even had TPMS!
These won't last long though, I'll be selling them in the spring and swapping to a set of 22" Weld Cheyennes sitting in the basement. Nice and light for 22s too

Been thinking about brushing the snow off the truck and driving it into work. Will snap some pictures when that happens

I should clarify... light for 22s lol. They're 34.5lbs, seems heavy but my old Esky 22s were 48lbs!

Well I decided to try and make it down a friends driveway in my car.. needless to say it's still there.

So brushed the snow off, charged the battery over night and drove the Gibbs in.

2wd in a light truck and icy roads made for a very sporting commute this morning. Side roads are fun though. Whole city is like Tokyo Drift for me right now.
