Cool. Happy for your new ride.

Good deal, I am happy for you Dave.

congrats on the new truck , now fluid film it before this winter

takes about a gallon to a gallon and a half at 50 a gallon it is cheap insurance and it makes everything you need to work on later like alignments go easier.

if it is 4wd 4 ramps put it in 4wd low and crawl up all 4 ramps at the same time

several big sheets of cardboard to slide around on

fog every door , door pillar , tailgate , rocker panel , frame member , everything but the tops side and the exhaust then no under body flushes at the car wash , the spring rain washes the salt off the bottom as you drive in it , without washing off your fluid film layer

recoat every early October and she will last you a LONG time.

the wool wax gun , wool wax is a very similar product but more expensive for a gallon around 70 dollars however the gun has 3 containers so you can load up 3/4 of a gallon and spray without stopping so much

there are also other sprayers that work I just used this one

I'm glad to hear you got yourself a better, more reliable truck, Dave. Now you will be able to do a little more trapping and explore new areas by having a depndable vehicle to drive. Sounds like you got a great deal too. Good job!

On the subject of fluid film. Nessmuck or other body guys how much does it cost to have a body shop apply it? That way it's done right and they should know all the cracks and crevices.

Body shop, double that

Good on you coonman

Way to go coonman

Yep enjoy it, you needed a different truck for sure.

I buy cans of fluid film at home depot. Just like a spray paint can. In the isle with wd40.

Praise the Lord! Dave finally upgraded his truck! We have been waiting years for this to happen.

you can

11.38 a 11.75 ounce can so right close to a dollar an ounce or you can get 128 ounces for 50 dollars or 39 cents and ounce , yes you need a sprayer but if you figure that out over 10 years use or 10 cars use you have about 11 dollars a car into the tool.

Congrats on the new truck coonman.
Next time that happens make sure your fire and theft insurance is paid up and proceed accordingly.
