    @djwantke is your undercarriage painted or treated?
    That looks really clean even for you, aka always at-dat-port

    if it is treated, thought we’re not supposed to wash it
    This ANOTHER thing I’m meaning to do whenever I finally have a day off

    I got a killer deal on the ssw wheels. I also have their ssw Dakars on the tundra and like them a lot.
