^^ Haha , sorry. images aren't getting embed. Here's the link : https://imgur.com/gallery/qb961

 

Hell yes! Gonna order soon. I'll try and tag you once I get it done with confirmation but yeah it looks like that backing plate and longer thread is the ticket. Thanks!!

 

Not all today, but in the last 45 days or so.

- DiamondBack SE Bed Cover
- Carhartt Seat Covers
- PRO Grill
- Tailgate letter vinyl

Next up got some black rear bumper covers sitting in the garage to get rid of the out of place chrome.

 

Lmao, I've noticed the ultra Timmy tender mentality here . Funny on a forum that is based on "TRUCKS" and outdoor activities like off-roading camping , fishing , hunting ...

 

I ordered off of Amazon the same exact afe part number and what they sent was something totally different, square on one end, angled on the other. Just ordered via the link I sent via eBay. Will see.
Where did you get yours ?
Thanks!

 

What is the light output on those headlights? 10% lol?

 

I also did complete LED’s inside and out on my 2016. The only issue I had were the turn signals. You have to get a inline resister so you don’t get hyper flash.
On my 2017 I did all LED’s (pulled off my 2016 since it got totaled due to Harvey) except didn’t do the turn signals since I didn’t want to mess with the resistors. If you do I’ll give you my resistors for free.....never used them in original packaging.

 

Dang dude! I thought I was bad about detailing some items with red highlights of sorts! Yours is awesome!

 

Thank You

 

I don't notice it but then again I use the "ignore" button and TW becomes a more civilized place.

 

Another good day. Bak MX4 installed. Now have a place to store recovery gear and other goodies!

Love some of the rigs on here. Lots of great ideas.

 

Great idea

 

I think sometimes people cannot keep their honest comments to themselves. It is totally ok if someone asks your true opinion but other than that people should try to be kind with their comments. It could be you someday on the other end of the comments

 

Well said.

There are plenty of mods I have seen here that are "not my cup of tea", and there are a plenty that I love. Some that I have the courage to do and others that I may not attempt or complete before the truck is 5+ years old.

Our comunity is supposed to be a sharing of ideas, support, occasional debate, and assistance. The loss of this perspective is what runs the new members off and earns some folks manditory vacation from the forum.

 

Here you go— super happy with them after dealing with HIDs and crappier product in my previous trucks. 3 sets of these (all H11) change my daily drive significantly.

 

Got it just about ready for my camping trip this weekend in Afton Canyon!!!

I purchased a 4' LED antenna from West Coast Corvette, which comes with a remote to change colors!!! Good price and got it in one day! They are just down the street so I went and took pix, the thing strobes, flashes, alternates colors, 20 different variations with a remote. tapped it off my running lights and its detachable too!

Mercenary Off-road in Camarillo Ca. My friend does fab work and made this for me. Almost look exactly the cast aluminum running board I used to have. There are 100lbs each. I can feel the heaviness when I drive also when I go thru a pothole.

 

Put this steel tube bumper on last night that CanyonRunner made for me. Still gotta clean up my bumper cuts, but I dig it.

 

I did this...Finally got to wheel and use all the trucks "modes"..

BUT,

Crawl control / locking diff and Multi terrain DOES NOT work in this situation^^

Was too embarrassed, sore, wet, tired, and pissed off to post this the other day...


Long Story short: Pine Barrens, Wharton State Forest, Jersey (the "Water Roads" side of 206) highly NOT recommended unless you have full recovery gear, backup and winch and preferably lift and serious tires! Lesson learned the hard way..

Short story long: 2+ hrs and many miles of amazing and scenic times with no issues whatsoever on both sides of 206 (dry side was tons of fun, wet side was getting sketchy but I was on my way back and sensibly turned around prior to possibly getting stuck). Had a great time. Didn't air down (even though I had my brand new bad ass digital compressor in the truck) I figured no need since it was pouring rain and the sand was compact and I had no issues till my whole front end highcentered angled down weight forward (can't really tell from the pic) in the deep tire ruts filled with about a foot plus of water and shit quicksand. Not sure if airing down would have made any diff.

Anyways, I totally screwed up and after a couple hrs of trying everything I could have myself I called an Off Road recovery service...was prob a mile into the pine barrens. The Recovery guys told me some of the "puddles" on that side are so deep they will suck your whole truck in and don't look deep at all, and further added that he gets stuck back there in his monster jeep with 40's all the time!

$200 later (wife was not thrilled with this) I was yanked out by a huge Jeep with a winch from the recovery fellas.


I feel like a retard and learned a lesson and will go more prepared next time and prob stick to the dry side. I guess I never planned on doing anything too hard and then surprised myself by getting stuck where I did cuz it didn't look too bad.

Feel free to call me whatever you want... it can't be worse than all the sand in my goddamned truck still.. after 2 carwashes and vacuuming. Lol.

I also have some other decent pics from earlier in the day if anyone wants to see them. Should I post them here (same post or) or elsewhere if so?
