Looking good Nate, will check it out. Now you just have to do the rest of the truck. Your new truck should clean real good.

screwballl · 03-15-2009, 09:54 PM

nah spring time is the perfect time to get dirty... its nice, it gets rainy and perfect time for dirt, mud, sand and clay offroading... and usually thats just the path to the fishing hole

67ChevyRedneck · 03-15-2009, 10:36 PM

I get to drive mine year 'round

...but yes, she is currently a very dirty girl...

bowtieboy93 · 03-16-2009, 03:31 AM

snowed again today

Mudder · 03-16-2009, 09:13 AM

Perfect!!!!!!!!

72BlckButy · 03-17-2009, 09:02 PM

Come on over to the Detailing part of the board and help some of the others (including myself) keep our trucks clean!!!

themeskin · 03-17-2009, 09:29 PM

hi can u send me pics of how the jack /lug wrench/ handle are mounted thanks e mail at themeskin@aol.com

72BlckButy · 03-17-2009, 09:36 PM

I sure can. I will get you some pics tomorrow night as the lighting isn't the greatest in my garage, so the pics won't turn out very well.

Any angle in particular, or just everything related to the jack/wrenches?

Longhorn Man · 03-17-2009, 10:11 PM

I plan on working on the burb possibly all night starting tomorow evening. Might take a cat nat @ the garage, but the plan is for it to roll out of the garage with a new and improved stance and a tranny that works properly... then I'll spend as long as it takes to get it all nice and pretty again.

The longhorn.... now that's another story all together. It's been getin nasty.

Mudder · 03-18-2009, 07:54 AM

I was going to get the Stepside out yesterday since the weather has been awesome here but I had 5 fire calls yesterday. Three brush fires. I think I am still tired this morning.

I'm interested in what you have up your sleeve Andy...

Longhorn Man · 03-18-2009, 05:35 PM

Does that mean another "back in black" party or just a real good cleaning?

I think the burb would look killer in flat black, white top, and red pin-striping

Longhorn Man · 03-18-2009, 06:51 PM

naaa, as tempted as I am to do that, it'll have to wait.
i'm just gonna clean it and do some little odds and ends for now. i missed all of last summer with the burb being down, ain't gonna miss another cruise season.
As for on down the road plans, I do have a few ideas in the back of the 'ole noggin, but the longhorn is goin under the knife as soon as the burb comes out of the garage.

Let's not lock this thread, let's keep this thread CLEAN.... Literally, let's clean up those trucks, blazers, burbs, trazers, whatever you got.

72BlckButy · 03-20-2009, 09:34 AM

So who's taking advantage of the nice weather today to get out and do some cleaning?

Longhorn Man · 03-20-2009, 03:56 PM

I never did clean up the burb. it was raining wed night when I got it on the road, washed it thursday on my day off, but that was just a quick wash and drive... no drying or anything. It was cold and windy and my back was hurtin like a mo-fo.
