The truck is a beast but it's real easy and even smooth to drive around. I borrowed for a Date Night a while back, might do it again this weekend. David will let me borrow it anytime ever since I detailed it.

"BUMP"

Just came across this video on youtube and thought I would resurrect it. It answers some of the things me and a few others have asked or requested of lately.......

Just wished he would of had a little bigger truck to showcase the technics on....

Quick question; I know all about buffing to close to the edge. "EXPERIENCE", now I will sneak up to it. I was just wondering what other technics you use?
