If it's cool enough & the rain isn't too bad, I may try to get it done, and squeeze in an oil change on the wife's Flex too.
I'll go out on a limb here and say you did get her naturally washed?

That is unless you evacuated up my way and we still had 12" over the 5 or 6 day period there!

Hope everything was okay for you and your family.

Hoping y'all got some rain and or snow to help with the wildfires?

We had plenty of rain down here but no way to send it up there.

Yep, we got lucky & had no flooding, so she got a full wash & quick wax 2 weekends ago.

Moved a couch today, so at least I know the short bed can handle that.

Removed the front valance today. I've seen some people remove it completely, leaving tabs and unsightly holes, while others have left it on and trimmed it down a bit. I decided I wanted it completely off, with no tabs or holes visible.

So here it is, as it came from the factory. Some like it, I personally don't.



Next I popped it off. Much better, but still the tabs hung down and there were 8 holes that needed to disappear.





Took a razor knife to the tabs, sliced through them like butter.



Now, to deal with those pesky and unsightly holes, I went to the hardware store and pick up some plastic push gromets.





Much better!

Not my idea of an early morning shot, but the truck/build is looking good though.

I work with children, so the whiskey had to stay in the cabinet.
