Got the Motofab leveling kit installed today. 2” front, 2” rear. Love the difference it made.

This looks great! Big difference. Of course now you'll be shoe shopping. What step rail is that? You happy with how it hugs the frame?

Added the Extang Xceed to the bed...  pretty easy install - used some free labor to help though :)         One of the support rod clips to hold it up when not in use came broken...  will have to call them tomorrow.  Also, fits a bit weird at the gate-  If I close the full gate, closes up nicely....  if I have just the small gate open, and try and close it, it hits the middle of the cover....

This looks great! I have the cheap GM rollup right now but want the lower profile. I'm a little worried about water as mine is currently pretty damn waterproof. Just don't like the look. Any leakage with this one?

Thanks! This pic is several months old and I've already gotten new shoes. ?

 

And yes, I'm very happy with the step rails. They are Tyger Star Armor. Very sturdy and have held up well. ?

How are the Trail Hogs on the highway? Assume no rub or issues?

I'm jealous. How much deconstruction did this take? Do you have a bench or a console up front?

Bench. And it wasn't too bad. About an hour of labor. Unbolted the seats, unbolted the jump seat, installed port, ran wires under passenger scuff plate to fuse box.

I replaced my running boards, installing AMP Research boards. I like this look much better. Before / after photos below. (Original running boards up for sale on the marketplace - Houston area)

Did you install the AMPs yourself? if yes, was the wiring a pain in the ass? If no, can i ask what you paid for install?

Looks clean! Where did you get the luggage rack? Link?

Looks mean! Any rub with the 295/65/20s? Any spacers?

Wound up doing the same thing with mine, plus a fancy new gas cap!

Out of interest, what does the gas cap do for you?

Did you do the handles yourself? I'm watching videos on it and it looks risky if you're not super careful

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
