I went out yesterday and spent about 5 or 6 hours detailing my truck from top to bottom inside and out. It started out as a wash and vacuum but I decided to wipe down the whole interior with turtle wax ice and clean all the windows too and febreze the seats. Then after I washed it I noticed that it didn't really shine much anymore so I broke out the buffer and went to town. I even waxed the wheels because they looked almost grey instead of the shiny silver they're supposed to be. Then I thought "Hmmm, everything else is shining now, I might as well make the STT's shine too" so I broke out the tire shine too!LOL When I was finally done I realized I hadn't taken any pictures yet of my truck after the lift, tires, lights and N-Fabs because the N-fabs just came in after being on backorder forever. Well here's some of the pics I took of her all cleaned up and finally starting to come together. She looks like a completely different truck from just a month or so ago and SOOO much tougher now!
All washed and waxed up!

Thanks guys! Yeah the n-fabs look awesome and really help with the lift and 35's! LOL I absolutely LOVE my STT's too. They are so well mannered on the road but rock offroad and look so mean. As for the x-pipe it's the magnaflow dual in dual out muffler with an internal x-pipe inside the muffler. It's a really nice muffler and sounds bada$$ with no drone at highway speeds.

Yeah they're 35x13.50's. They weigh 78lbs a piece too withOUT the wheel! HAHA They actually didn't kill my truck too bad though surprisingly. It still gets up and moves pretty good and I have averaged 13mpg mixed driving with them. I was only getting 14.5-15mpg before so that's not too bad.

Well...no time to wax mine but I did give it a good bath yesterday. Finally got all that winter road salt/grime off it. Nice to see the majestic blue gleaming in the sun again! I'm planning to wax it Easter weekend when I visit the in-laws...a good way to get out of the house and not have to deal with all the family. ;-)

They are N-Fab cab length nerf steps. You can get them from a lot of places but I got mine from 4wheelparts because they had them on sale for around $340 with free shipping (I think they still have them on sale actually). They make stainless steel ones which are shiny(not as shiny as chrome though).

Truck looks great! Tell me more about this muffler, is it just a muffler swap, or is there other pipe work done as well. Memories of the drone in my old 05 are what is keeping me from upgrading the 09. I couldn't stand the drone..........
Granted, it was a Flowmaster 40 so it was one of the worst out there, but still.
Again, your truck is looking great, and from the posts you made a few weeks ago, look like those new tires are doing great as well.

I don't have a part number or anything but it's the magnaflow x-pipe muffler. I had a muffler shop put it on for me. With an 07 and newer it's a pretty easy job because they come factory with duals into the muffler. All the shop did was cut the stck pipes right before the muffler, put this muffler in it's place and run dual 2 1/4" pipes out the back. It sounds real nice at idle with a nice little burble and wicked at WOT and as said before there is no drone at highway speeds which is awesome. I have had flowmasters on another vehicle and know what you mean about those pieces of crap droning. They would give me a headache on any trip over an hour long!

And thanks again for all the compliments guys.
08pro4x: I waited SIX LOOOONG weeks for mine!!! I was so pi$$ed because they never said anything about them being on backorder when I ordered them. Hopefully yours don't take that long.
