Good info for those that don't currently have a hitch installed.

Mine already had hitch & electrical when I bought last month...but first owner installed hitch at around 15K miles. They just used it for a bike rack. Electrical hasn't had anything plugged into it and so little paint is scuffed on hitch I think the bike rack was only used a few times.

It does look nice and clean.

I'll probably leave my plastics on long term.

Are you going to leave yours off permanently?

Yes, part of my mod, soon to come.

Gunk foam and my Honda pressure washer. I did wipe many surfaces off. After cleaning the engine bay I coated it with the Gunk detailer that is sticky. Ran the truck and used my air compressor to blow off the residue and wiped it down again.

I've thought about converting fogs to some VLEDs.

Too bad the DRLs are part of the high beam assembly or I would convert those to LED as well. It would have been nice if the HIDs have been Bi-Xenon.

Are the '14+ high beams still halogen?

After a road trip last week, the interior was a bit dusty so I took advantage of a nice warm day and applied some Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner. I also wiped down the dash and inside with Cockpit Premium and sprayed the outside with some Meguiares Ultimate Details. The truck smell really good now. Haha.

After Cockpit Premium wipe down.
Smell good.
