Spent most of the weekend playing with my truck.  I installed a new FX4 textured front valance that I've had for two years.  I re-installed my Level II tow hooks after sandblasting the black part and repainting them.  With the new front valance being black, I removed the rear bumper step pad... cleaned, prepped and painted it satin black to match.  I installed my summer wheels & tires, checked and topped off all the fluids, then rolled it outside.  I gave the engine bay a good douche with Dawn dish detergent and a foam cannon, then the rest of the truck got a super good scrubbing, followed by a rub-down with Mequiar's Quik Detailer spray.  Truck looks presentable again.  Sad thing is: 80% chance of thunder storms tomorrow. :x 

Anyway, here's a pic of the truck as it sits today...



BTW, while I was washing it, I noticed a crack in the windshield going full length top to bottom.  It has had a couple of rock chip stars for several years, and it was my intention to replace the windshield when one of those decided to split out.  Funny thing is, this crack didn't originate from either of the rock chips.  Guess I am buying a new windshield!
