LOL i know right, its always funny seeing some of the other trucks pull in there all caked in mud. However if all the wash bays are full and you pull in and the only one open is the one that some @$$hole just spent 2hrs getting his mud truck clean & left, it pisses you off. It happened to me once; my shoes got muddy and on top of that when i cleaned my truck and pulled out of the spot, the damn tires went through all the mud again & made my wheel wells muddy as hell

.... nice catch with the sign though haha

Yup did the drive in 14.5hrs and only took a tank and a half to do it. I'd say that's worth the (approx 3-4grand in savings) or/& 20,000km in mileage.

Thank you

Either way I made do with what it gave me

I will probably go again tomorrow during the day through a drive through one so all the salt underneath can be washed out. I will be booking a rust proofing appt ASAP, until then ill just keep rinsing the salt off :P Hopefully they can get me in this week or the next

Yep get her rust checked right away and keep washing her lol. I wash mine weekly. I'm currently looking for a winter beater that way I can park my truck for the winter. I had my old car last winter but sold it this summer. I only drove my truck last winter like 4 times 1000km lol.

So does 200 plus tax including wheel alignment a good deal for the the 2" front level install and 3" rear block? I think I'm just going to follow pinewood fords recommendations and do the 3" rear block with 305/65r18 tires
