I hear ya about stupid spring time, was awesome this weekend now we're in the middle of a winter storm. Never got the sweet spinners on my wheels but I think I had about a half ton of ice build up under the truck. This thing attracts it like crazy.

People had forgotten how to drive again - and I drove passed 4 smashed up vehicles on my way to work, and the weather was perfect for ice - I had to stop three times in 50 miles and tap ice off the wipers - I couldn't pour enough heat to the windshield to keep them thawed.
I had to haul back a skid steer from a weekend rental, and when I got back to the yard the safety chains were ***** of ice too, had to beat the ice off to unhook the trailer.
I was very thankful for the factory trailer brake controller, because between the 400# of ball weight on the back tires, and the excellent trailer control, I had no problems.

I work over in the Bakken and I'm so glad I didn't have my truck up here this winter. I think people become morons once they start driving big rigs up here.

I live in Nebraska and had my truck looking like yours a couple times. A week ago I went to do my spring clean and polish and found my running boards and wheels pitted from the road grime. I always wax the truck in the fall and again in early January. It should not have pitted all my lower chrome. I wonder if they warranty for that. It only snowed 4 times all winter here.
