Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845, liquid wax, heat-resistant wax, car wax
snow isnt an issue, i dont even put weight in the back of my truck and get through winter no problem. 2wd rangers are most common around here, we canucks can drive through any weather!

I only used 4wd once last winter (besides playing in the deep stuff) and I had no issues. We get lots of snow but our roads are very well kept around here through the winter.

The truck is looking good Nate!
