How on Earth did you clean that upholstery?  My wife's 2018 VW seats stain if you breathe on them.  What's the magic cure?

Amen! My superclean and pressure washer setup doesn't do nearly that good.

I pressure washed the crap out of them.  Then liberally applied purple power and scrubbed them, before pressure washing them a second time.  They have been sitting in the sun for two days.  I figure another day in the sun should get them pretty dried out.

Picked the truck up from the shop. I had them install a new Denso radiator as a precaution. 

I also had a full set of 5100 bilstein shocks installed.  The fronts are on the highest settings which yields almost 2 inches of lift up front.

I replaced the worn BF Goodrich tires with a brand new set of 275/70r18 Cooper LTX all terrain tires.

Truck is much quieter and rides great now.  Super happy with the new setup.

I am hopeful that the rain holds off enough tomorrow for me to clay bar the sides and get a good coat of polish and wax on her.

The side look good from here. The reflection of the sedan in the side is pretty clear.

Clay barred the truck, polished it and gave it a good coat of wax.

I bought the same brand floor covers for wife's.  They have been great and worth the price.

What brand are they?  I also have a Titan crew cab and would love to have a set of liners.

Am jealous of the OP's truck.  I should have held out for 4wd.  I like my truck a lot, but I talked myself into it because "I only put my truck in 4wd once a year".  Turns out it would really be nice to be able to do that once a year.

I would like to keep this one for a bit. 

If I can interest you in a 2002 Boxster, a 1972 Dart or an international travelall let me know and I will see what we can work out.laugh

You ready to sell this yet? Kidding, mostly. 

Hows this treating you? I'm considering selling my rust bucket Silverado and picking up a low mileage one of these.

Detailed the truck today.  Came out great.

Notice I had the mirrors and the rear bumper painted black to match the rest of the truck.
