    Looks sweet!
    What setting on the front coils? Bottom notch? How much lift did it give you?
    Did you add a leaf or go Dakar pack in the back? How much lift in the back did it give you?
    I have a 4x2 also and most people have 4x4 so I'm trying to determine what to buy to give me a nice lift, but not too much.

    I didn't like the look of the stock decals so I decided to make my own and think they came out looking pretty good.

    I made 3 pair just in case I messed up but it came out perfect the first time so I have 2 pair left over that I'd be willing to sell for $30 + $5 shipping send me a pm if any of you are intrested

    Thank you!

    Yes, I kept it on the bottom notch and it rides just like the OEM setup with a good amount of lift. I'll have to measure on a level surface (I live on a hill) and report back sometime today. Unfortunately, the whole purchase and install happened so fast I didn't get a chance to take before/after measurements.

    Rear is completely stock. I almost pulled the trigger on a Dakar leaf pack, but decided to not touch the rear and wait to see how it came out first. I'm actually really happy with the stance, although most here prefer a more level or forward rake.

    I'll take some more photos of various angles too.

    Welcome Kyle, nice truck, then again all MGM's are nice....have fun driving it and more fun doing mods. The only thing with dark colors you gotta get a good light when doing stuff on the interior and under the hood, can't see crap, but then again I'm old! Have fun....

    Grill, lights, wheels & tires
    Got my new grill installed a couple weeks ago and did the window tint yesterday (5% on everything other than the front 2 windows, they’re 18%). It’s amazing what window tint can do for looks and functionality. Now i don’t feel like I’m driving a fish bowl! Unfortunately now the SR steel wheels look even worse to me so the next time discount tire does their $100 off sale on eBay I’ll pick up some better looking wheels/tires.A44BE6E7-E801-451E-B9B2-AAEB9F5D7CA6.jpg ED8345F3-494C-4914-A6CD-D0A56E485D8E.jpg

    Operation no more crome. I couldnt stand the crome on my trd of 4x4 so i decided to plasti dip the bumper caps and badges. While i was at it i painted the exhaust tip with some hi temp matte black header paint.

    I also didnt like the stock trd decals so ivdecided to make my own. Let me know what you think.

    I made 4 sets of the decals 3 sets of gloss black and 1set of matte black. Just incase i messed up but i was able to nail it first try. So i have 2 sets of gloss and 1 set of matte that im selling for 30$ + 5$ shipping. Send me a pm in you guys are intrested
