How do you keep your truck so clean in the snow weather?

I took it through the brushless car wash yesterday. I don't like using them, but I'm sure as you know, gotta get that dang salt off before any damage starts. We had less than an inch on Sunday night and the plow trucks were salting and sanding like we had gotten a foot! I usually go through the car wash once a week in the winter.

Not at all, take off the door panels and there's three nuts and bolts that hold them on....piece of cake. I changed them today in about 45 minutes, and the reason it took that long was because my fingers were frozen, LOL!

The heat function would be nice, but with all the work involved I can live without it..............for now that is!
The Ebay seller is AM Auto Parts....here's the link

And the bar is a Smittybilt Predator, discontinued. I got lucky and found it on Craigslist!
Thanks for the info man. Too bad about that predator, wonder why they would discontinue it.

No problem. I have no clue why they discontinued the Predator but I do know this....if they ever started making them again they'd clean up! I've had quite a few PM's from this site and another with offers to buy mine! Not sure if I would ever sell it, but it would probably be a slugfest if I did.
