for me, it was backing up with your front tire against a rock. mudflap gets pinched and rolled under

I noticed you're still on stock gearing, how bearable is it driving around with the 33's? I'm thinking of going the same route soon.

Doesn't bother me too much. I notice the difference mostly when starting off from a stop and getting on the freeway, otherwise its fine...I can still hold the speed limit going up hill in 5th for the most part. Gimme a week or so and find out how much my gas mileage drops ...I'm thinking it won't drop very much but we'll see

Most likely when I backed up it got caught between my tire and a rock, or just when I was climbing over bolders. If I go again, I'll take them all off. I'm Lookin to order a new mudflap soon, but my bracket is broken.

Looks good, nice truck. That's a lot of tire shine, I would wipe it down with cloth so don't attract dirt and what not or flip around the truck everywhere.

I find you can apply it and wipe it down again and it keeps a good shine still even if not quite as glossy. At least they are clean is what matters.

I haven't seen a truck run those tires in quite some time.

I haven't seen a car wash with glass walls half way to ceiling like that before, usually all tall and made of cinder blocks or concrete.

thanks yeah I detail at a cadillac dealership so I wash it every friday with the good stuff haha. I usually spray the tire shine, drive it home, then wipe down the truck where it flung up with a rag and this show shine spray we use and it stays clean.

and that car wash is the best one I've ever been to its 5 bucks for 20 minutes and the equipment is really nice there
