Ah, I actually did something in the last few days!.
I used:
Wash: Armor All Car Wash Concentrate
Wax: Ibiz World Class Car Wax
Tires: Armor All Tire Foam (also used a brush to scrub the dirt off)
Glass: Turtle Wax ClearVue Auto Glass Cleaner
Black Trim / Interior Plastic: Armor All Original Protectant
Chrome: Turtle Wax Chrome Polish
Carpet: Turtle Wax Oxy Interior1

The exterior got a "day after" treatment of Meguiar's Qucik Detailer.

Used quite a few microfiber rags as well.













^^ It has the typical "Dakota chrome bumper" rust problem

 

Really clean!! I never noticed how much I like the look of those tires on your truck[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Thanks. I like the look of them too .

 

I have the BFG Long Trails. If I had a digital camera I would shoot a pic and post it. But alas....I do not.

The tires do not look quite as nice on mine though, my trucks 2wd with oversize tires....but it gets driven up alot of dirt roads.

Your truck looks good though, very clean. Much better shape then mine is in. My rocker panels are rotting away as we speak. I am hoping to fix this soon. Other then that mine is in overall good condition.

Ill have to see about borrowing my dads camera and see if I can get a few pics on here. It doesn't look bad, it could just look better.

 

I believe you had a signature about that a little while ago.
My driver side has a tiny bit of rust down on the outside, but, I totally realize that it could be MUCH worse (especially since it was from the north). My passenger side is starting to get some rust on the inner-part (by the door seal on the door).
Just wondering, what are you gonna do to fix 'em?

The thing that I wanna replace is the rear bumper, but, it will take a while before I cough up that kinda money for a new one.
Later this year I plan on doin some undercoating (and while I'm down there, fix whatever reason my 4WD light does not come on).
I wanna make it last as long as possible (and, apparently, taking as few vactions as possible will keep it out of accidents )

 

hey quick question, i have those exact same rims, do you know what size they are?

 

15x6.0 Aluminum wheels.

 

Up here in the north, rust is something we must deal with. I bought the truck in new york. I actually won it on ebay for $1200.

I'm gonna make some panel parts for it on the break at work out of some sheet metal. Then I planned on taking the ol plasma cutter and removing the rotted parts from my truck and welding new parts on. Then I will have to sand and use some bondo to make it smooth. Then theres the priming and painting. I will problably just sand the whole thing down and repaint the whole truck.

Its been painted black, they did an ok job......but they have some runs here and there and they had stickers all over it that I didnt like so I removed them.

Theres no rust underneath but some of the nuts n bolts are still a lil tricky to get off. The bed is solid, a few dings but what do you expect. The interior is nice and everything works. Under the hood theres a rust hole in the one inner fender, but other then that the firewall and everything else is rust free.

 

This is my truck. I havent cleaned it up at all in a couple weeks. Its been rainy and muddy out. It needs it though, inside and outside. Normally it looks fairly descent though.

Here you can see the chrome and black button on the dash. The former owner said this is how his mechanic fixed the horn. As soon as I get a chance I will be fixing the horn properly. You can also see my little girls racing seat in the shotgun location. She likes to look out the window and wave at people on the way by.
