    Two words: California Duster. I have one and it's the JAM! The dirtier it gets the better it dusts. Here in Oklahoma we have some red dirt that makes for some very sucky dust.

    Has anyone done off-road lights on their 3rd gen's yet? I am getting some ditch lights and then i think I will put some floods in the back for reverse lights. My main question is how they were wired. I plan on wiring up a separate relay box but I am curious about what other owners are doing.

    I know I could've read all 571 pages but I'm 'Merican and I like convenience. Feed me knowledge compadres.

    Got my AVS in channel window vent shades installed today yippy!
    Real easy install, not even nuff time to drink the whole dos XX's taco beer.
    It does kind of match the '90's retro top tint windshield stripe and the outline white letters on tires too.
    Cheers!

    Have a level question. Do most think adjustable Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks are good with stock springs to add 1" up front. Seems like a very inexpensive alternative to level plates and Bilstein site says ok with stock springs. Itching for new 18 x 8.5 wheels and 265/65-18 tires (31.5 x 10.5).

    I changed the oil in mine this afternoon. It was such a nice day and it has about 1,600 miles on it so I figured it couldn't hurt. Whoever put the factory filter on makes Hercules look like a wimp though, it was ridiculous trying to get it off...

    Just for anybody that was wondering, I drained about 5.5 quarts, used the shorter filter, and put 5 fresh quarts in. Mobil 1 AFE 0W-20.

    I love mine 2!!! The only bad part is they recommend keeping your windows up for 3 days to give it proper seal. But it's worth it!!

    Looks good. Do you have any pictures of them in the daylight? I haven't seen any on trucks with no front tint.
