Looks like you put some life into that truck. I personally like the half and half shot. Keep up the good work.

I sure hope it wasn`t wasted effort and it ends up on dirt roads tomorrow. ;)

I think you forgot to put your mouse away.........or your holding something between your legs.........kick *** turnaround by the way, I see a lot of farm truck around here, what I would do to get my hands on one!

Sadly enough thats exactly where it went back too. The owner understands the risk involved and will now be seeing me twice a year. He says he may have me wash it once a month but that is up in the air since its a farm truck and cant be away from the job for more than 8 hours at a time. I live 45 minutes away so its a hastle for the owner to bring it to me for weekly washes that will take that much time.

The good news is he is now thinking about me taking care of his tractors...........






Great work. Gotta love those grit guards.



They are worth every penny!

I new someone would have their mind in guter on that one :rofl



I wouldnt say that, it took 3 hours to wash and 1 1/2 to clay.

Rims and tires took almost 30 minutes apiece.

If you guys notice the tailgate in the after shots, it was not save-able, i didnt even touch it.
