We are at 10hr and 52 mins and on the rise each day.

I went back out and checked the new lug again and it doesn't look too bad. Probably just being too Type A about this. Checked on eBay for used OEM lugs. All at $42+ and have the usual torque marks on them. Maybe I'll just rock these for $20 and see how we go for the moment. Probably going to seal them up this weekend, since it is raining anyways.

I was talking oem for the extra width. They take a 22mm socket and just make the lug hole look more filled. Not saying your current ones look bad it was just a thought

Good thought on the 22mm. Maybe I'll have a look for good measure, just to see. Thx for pointing that out Love options....hate options....lol

Agreed. Looks full. I cannot keep on your wheel changes....lol That chrome is blingy clean. Even the inner dish is looking good. I'm lucky with the satin inner finish, it does not show the dirt/brake dust as bad.

I loved those wheels but could not keep up with the maintenance on them. Keeping them that shiny was a hassle and took almost as long as cleaning the whole truck lol. The constant weather changes around here and it not being In a garage never helped either

^^This^^ I feel your pain man. Having no garage is why we keep the microfibers in our hands all the time. Detailing fruit loops FTW!! lol

Low mileage, yes, but 78k in South Florida is hard miles. Mostly stop and go, most of the roads in that area are 35mph or less, short trips, heat, heat, heat, humidity, humidity, humidity. Honestly, the condition of Foss's truck is a testament more to his meticulous maintenance than is the low mileage.

Thx man. Really appreciate this.

Only speakin' the truth bud.

That is the 100% truth!! Even on Sunday I-95 is a total nightmare in Miami due to ongoing construction and constant incidents. More then half of the time the 95 Express lanes are closed. Miami Beach is gridlocked 24/7.

With that said I am always amazed how Foss keeps his vehicles so clean in a land of constant passing showers and landscapers everywhere you go dumping debris on your vehicle all year long.

Man I-95 and the turnpike are such a mess with growth, you are always running over rough roads and shrapnel. Sorry man, I despise being down in your neck of the woods for the gridlock and being on I-95. A1A up here is under constant construction with the old school mom and pop places all being bought up for the big condos. Trying to become Ocean Drive and be a mini-South Beach. ugh

Thx man. I work hard at it. And thankfully the low maintenance side of things and our forgiving weather gives me the time to keep up on the cleaning and detail. Plus I really enjoy it. Well not in the summer months, but hey...could be like this week and temps well below 0. Ummm...no thanks.
