No, Not Again!

Not trying to damage it, but offroading it happens; got my first desert stripes with less than 1k miles on it and a few more since. It's a truck, it's meant to do truck stuff for me. And in SoCal we rarely see this water fall from the sky of which you guys speak, so I just wash it once a month or so (if it's lucky) at a self wash place and spend most of that time cleaning suspension/undercarriage/etc to keep that all the parts that matter clean.

I'll use mine for work tomorrow. After all it has to pay for itself! The water in front of the house is receding so it should be safe to cross.

I haven’t washed my turd in like 6 months

I haven’t washed my turd in like 6 months

And it still looks good!

I use F11 Topcoat on mine. It creates such a slick surface I actually let it sit out in the rain and it washes 95% of the dirt off. Good stuff even though a little expensive.

As my wife says, if my truck isn't dirty most of the time, it means I'm not getting my money's worth out of it.

I have been playing around with F11 and I like it .... goes on easy and does leave a shiny coat ... still not sure how I feel about the price ... I do use it on glass, etc .....

Man, I can appreciate keeping the truck clean (I've washed mine 2-days in a row now), but refusing to drive in the rain? Seems like a waste...but to each their own I suppose!

LOL! Go visit the Porsche 911 boards...as if in Germany it never rains or the car will dissolve. This is a truck for god's sake.

I frankly think an FX4 looks better with mud all over it ?

Four more days of rain starting tonight. Back under the blanket for mine! (recent detail)

Wow... I don't even keep mine in a garage.... I do keep it with a fresh wax though.

Damn bro! My truck would look SOOOOO good with that setup!

The look is great - (thank you!) The ride is where it really shines. I can't get over the improvement! I REALLY like the Icon products in this application.

Approximately what did that setup run you? Lift, wheels and tires.

I'll need to start saving.

I wash my vehicles easily twice or maybe even three times a year. I find they run just as well dirty as clean - until accumulated mud starts ruining the weight and aerodynamics.

Living on a dirt road will soon break any one of the personal need for a clean truck or motorcycle.

I was driving home yesterday and thinking about your response - in particular the pictures you shared. I rudely forgot to mention that you have a nice looking Ranger there yourself! Your rig was one of the first I saw when I joined this forum. Awesome to see people tinkering with the new ride.

All in, (wheels, tires, suspension) around $6,300 - was hoping to get a little coin back on the factory bits, but I can barely give the stuff away! So be it - I'm creating jobs!

2019 Lariat, Stage 3 Icon coilovers and external reservoir rear shocks, Icon tubular upper control arms, 8.5×17" Icon Compression wheels, 285/70R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. What these components have done to the ride is unreal. Next up, will be Relations Race Rock Sliders, Retrax MX Pro bed cover and onboard air. I'm loving the new Ranger!

What do you have the front height set at?
