I use good old fashioned saddle soap! I buy the Kiwi brand, it's available in the shoe dept. at Walmart or Target.

the problem is that the factory running boards don't do any good.

What about us "Larger" guys who have to slide out? Oh well, I guess that means no more Cheetos for me..........I vacuum mine with a soft Bristol brush once a month or so (except this winter, arrrg). I regularly wipe my seat clean with a warm damp towel then dry it. I use the Meguir's leather wipes for wee(a)kly protection. Occasionally I spray the Meguir's leather conditioner on and then spread it with the wipes and let it sit over night. Last March I did my research and read about the Lexol cleaner. Used it and it really made a huge difference. I use it as soon as the seat starts to look a little dull. This is my one and only truck and plan to have her till I'm six feet under.......

I use the King Ranch Conditioner and it does a great job. I wipe the seats down with plain water first and let dry then put on conditioner and seats look brand new. Well they are almost.

Exactly…… My Amp Power steps are fantastic and make for easy entrance and exit. One of the best mods I've done to my truck…

My sister was out here last summer and we took my Lariat to the mountains for a tour. The first time she got into the truck she slammed the door so hard I thought I was going to have to catch the window. We held "Riding In Patrick's Truck 101" right then and there. She rolled her eyes and said; "It's just a truck." Incorrect, it's my truck. I love my family, but my truck is the one thing in my life that I always wanted, and worked hard for. It's not just a vehicle to me, and all I ask is a little respect. Everyone laughs at how I obsess over it, but my past three vehicles have commanded top dollar at trade in time
