I did this to my last truck and it was extremely time consuming and difficult. But I didn’t know what I was doing back then.  This time I taped around it and sprayed them on the truck. It was actually

Very cool I can’t wait to see what you do. I bought a black 2020 AT4 5.3L a few months ago.  I love it! All I’ve done is had the dealer install the REV hard tonneau cover. I’ve got an organizer for the giant center console coming and I’d also like to get some vent visors.

Did your's have the stock 20's or stock 18's? If it was the stock 20's that look like this I may buy them from you.

Do you like your S-Type? Trying to decide if I should go for it or go with the ATAK.

Installed my Bakflip MX4 today, anyone had them propped up all the way against the rear window using the gimpy looking prop rods down the highway? They do not look secure enough to stay up the way the promotional instruction videos say

Love it.  It really depends on individual taste but I think it’s about perfect and I get many compliments on it and people asking “what exhaust is that?  It sounds so sweet!”  It’s actually louder than I expected on cold start but then quiets down quickly and I have virtually no drone.  Generally quiet cruising unless climbing a steady grade, then I’ll sometimes hear it.

I’ve used them several times and not had any issues.

It has occurred to me to ask, what cab configuration do you have? Short box? I am suspecting the different box length would result in different mounting position for the prop rod to the plastic rail it sits in

I have 2019 AT4 Carbon Pro 6.2L - 10 speed 

 

Done the following so far:

AT4 badges replaced with black ones, from 2020 Carbon Pro

Exhaust tips replaced with black ones

Ready Lift SST 2" level kit and upper control arms 

18 x 9" - 18mm Offset Method NV wheels

275/65/18 Wranger Duratracs (stock tires) 

GM Performance Package (came with cat back exhaust - added air box and tune) 

Came with kicker speakers in tailgate 

 

Very happy with truck. 

 

Looking to upgrade shocks and may do BDS 2.5" lift with Fox 2.5" coilovers and Fox 2.0's in rear to upgrade suspension from the RL SST/stock Rancho shocks - that looks nice and rides decent on road, but has limited offroad potential - to something that performs well on an off road.   Add Deaver rear spring pack at the same time and finish it off with 285 or 295 BFG KO2's . 

 

Few photos - from stock to current

yes it is those 20". i am planning selling them along with the stock tires. they will have zero miles on them.  truck is still in transit so once they get it they will take these off and put my new ones on immediately.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
