Wow! Those doors look awesome.

On a side note, I was wondering if you could provide some insight on how you keep your truck looking so new. Lots of trucks around here, but they seem to have been bitten by rust and should I ever upgrade mine, I would hope to have it look as good as yours.

Hey Riley, I bought the truck new in 99 and oil sprayed it fall and spring the first 3 years. Yep twice a year. lol After the first 3 years it has been oiled every fall up till now. There isn't even any rust on the frame, axles or leaf springs.
I also wash the truck frequently and apply a coat of wax twice a year after clay bar and polish. The other thing I do is to stay off of the gravel roads.:Ack2: That's about it.

The trick is to find someone who will do a good, thorough job. Even when I explain all the spots that I want done, they still miss many of them. You really have to keep on top of most of these guys to get a thorough job done. Our 2005 Jimmy still has no body rust. The back bumper is a real rust catcher and will rot through. Not a drop in there until I pointed it out. DUH. Just look at a few of any model with a few years on them and it is pretty obvious where the vehicles need the oil spray the most. Fluid Film is another excellent product as well.

Been working on the yard and finishing the driveway lately. Another 20 loads of stone for the circular drive. Lots more fill to put in and grade and another couple of acres of grass to plant in September.
Also did a dry creek bed which I still need to landscape. Just a place to channel water in large rain storms.

Looks great Bill... Bigger scale but it reflects the landscaping care that was obvious at the old place too. :thumbs:
 
Thanks guys! With a little rain coming I hope to sod the island this week. Also time to start spraying weeds in the lawn I have started.
