After 6 months of ownership, the truck was due for a good washing up. So shiny! /end

Looks nice, you got the V8?

But actually, mine is due for a good cleaning one of these days.

Mine looked worse than that for 6 months! Now that I cleaned it up, I can see how badly crunched up the remains of my front skid are... Also, tons of new scratches!

Yes! 2005 model so it’s the upgraded version. Plenty of power but geared too short for my tastes (diffs are 3.73). The upside is highway cruising barely registers on the tach.

Nice, can you manually shift it?

It’s an auto (5 speeds) but you can select every gear individually. Great for the trail and towing.

Ah, an auto is probably best for trails and towing to be honest.

An auto on the trail is a godsend. No burning your clutch trying to gently pull over that rock, smooth starts from any position on any terrain, and both hands on the wheel.

A manual would probably be tons of fun, but more work too.

Didn't want to do it before we had our BBQ the day before? ;)

NO TIME! I was lucky to get almost 4 hours this morning. I still need to wax it and vacuum the interior. I wiped it down and cleaned the glass inside and out, which was much much needed.
