Whoa! That looks amazing! :clap::like::rockon:

Two questions:
  1. Did you have the bead lock rings powder coated?
  2. Were you able to back out of the garage? I had my traction boards mounted on top of my rifle cases and before I drove out, realized I wouldn’t make it.

1. Nah - I hit them with spray paint. They're good enough. I will touch them up as needed.
2. I made it out of the garage. It's close but... I made it.

A better picture! I had to go back to Discount Tire today to get my old tires (couldn't fit two of them last night. 4 wheels, 2 old tires, 1 35" wheel and tire full size spare combo).

They also rebalanced the front right tire because the sticky weights were tapping the caliper on rotation. No biggie.

Man, the Bronco wheels and 35 inch tires really enhanced the look of your truck. Big 10-4!😎🤘

Hate hydrophobic products with a passion... So I resort to this stuff to get a clean windshield.

And yes a buffer. Work smarter not harder.

Great for shower doors as well.
Where I am, the water is heavy with minerals - shower door gets water spots you need a chisel to remove if you don’t squeegee it EVERY time. I’m too lazy to do that and every week or so, I toil at removing them with vinegar and water.

Do you think that stuff (add the buffer) are up to the task?

Seems work fine for me but my doors are usually clean. Goto amazon and you'll see lot of positive customer reviews with pics.


As for the buffer, may as well use it.
Though I highly recommend you wear gloves and follow the directions fully.

Same hard water here and I do squeegee it. Even using 00steel wool and cleaner it doesn't all come off. Let me know if it works!

Brian,

I'm running a 5 Star tune. Mods include AFE Charge Tubes and Intake. Rousch Cold Air Intake box, CVF Intercooler, Turbo Smart Dual Port BOV, MBRP Cat back Exhaust System, and a Pedal Commander. She will light the 33" tires up at highway speeds if you get deep enough into the throttle.

Dave
Have about same mods set up...she goes quick.

So, I tried to find this for sale in Canada but only one place has it - a third-party vendor on Walmart.ca and they want $63 for a 16 oz. bottle.

It’s sulphuric acid based so I’ll be doing a bit of research before going this route.
