Noticed a few months into ownership that the truck had some terrible scratches along the door edges. I've been touching those up along with some rock chips before the snow flies. Tomorrow I'm going to pressure wash the built up dirt & sand on the bottom side in preparation for it's annual application of rustproofing.

Bonus: This is probably the cleanest the truck has been since the day I brought it home.

5 year ceramic coating finally done. I warned the detailer this could be his toughest job ever and he didn't seem concerned when I dropped it off. He had it for 4 days and said he would have it done in 2. Day 4 it was still not done haha. He said they have washed semi's, 36ft trailers and tons of Raptors including this MegaRexx. They have never spent more time detailing anything than they did my truck. It took 65 gallons of water to wash and dirt was still coming out of the crevices haha.

Put the old girl in the garage for the time being. Will be needing the 150k maintenance done as well as repairing the front end. Uniball called it quits after about 1.5 years, four events, and a Moab trip. Don't think I can complain.

Next step is deciding if I want to step up the front suspension or just rebuild it with 3.0s and call it done.
