Maintenance Tips

• Clean Regularly: Wash with mild soap and water to remove dirt, salt, and debris — this protects the powder‑coat finish and reduces corrosion risk.

• Inspect Finish: Check for scratches, chips, or dings after heavy use; touch up exposed steel promptly to help prevent rust.

• Check Fasteners: Regularly inspect and tighten mounting bolts and hardware, especially after off‑road or rough driving.

• Protect the Coating: Apply a non‑abrasive wax or sealant occasionally to help maintain the matte black powder‑coat appearance.

• Verify Accessories: Ensure any added components (lights, tow hooks, winch mounts) remain secure and function properly.

• Dry Storage: If storing your truck for extended periods, park in a covered, dry space to minimize moisture exposure.
