I had a bit of white vinyl left over from my '21 AT4 so I thought I'd see how the bowties looked in white. This looks better than black IMO. I'm going to have them keep the center caps out of the wheels when I get the tires rotated so I can cover them in white as well.

Finally got a bumper custom made for my truck. Tabbed for 6 Baja designs XL80 lights. Been a little over a year since the stock bumper came off when the fiberglass and suspension was installed.

How do you like the firewire? I am just about to stat adding my lights back onto my truck and considered these but havent seen them in person. I run a speedturtle, visor light, and some accessory lights on the sides but considered putting firewire on my sides instead. Short of drilling there is not a lot of options for side lighting on a tinted truck.  I guess would you buy them again?

I love them. They are very low profile, easy to install, and puts off great light. Between my brother and myself, we have probably 30 Firewire LED's on different vehicles. The only issue we have ever had is the inline fuse will pop easily. Firewire recommended taking it out if it is installed on a fused circuit before their fuse. It was an easy fix.

Box did you buy new badges or paint/plastidip those? I am contemplating doing this to mine. Thanks

Installed new leaf springs, cut some big holes in the bed, and installed the bedcage and new shocks. New setup should be almost twice the wheel travel as stock.

Modified my mode switch to put my truck in sport mode automatically on startup. So much better!

Please, please share this mod.  I would love to keep mine in Sport mode as I keep forgetting to turn in on!

I so wish the truck was like this stock! I love this modification. Unfortunately is wasn't the easiest thing in the world to pull off, but I did a pretty detailed video on how I did it here:

 

 

The project isn't 100% done yet, its kind of in a testing phase, but what's left is just cosmetic really. the functionality is working great and I love it!

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
