    Looks great! :thumbsup: Hopefully the install went well. I think you indicated earlier this was your first time installing one.

    Nope, not trying to sell you on it. Just commenting about feeling it.
    A true CVT doesn't "shift", it just moves the belt (or chain) up & down the cones - You never feel it and can never tell it's doing it. My '16 CR-V had a true CVT in it and thankfully it never once had an issue. (Traded off now.)

    I drive a MT in my Taco and don't even want to look at one w/ a CVT (true or not)!

    This is going to sound kinda like a noob question because I am. I was thinking of getting cbi rock sliders and cbi skid plates. I have not made up my mind on front bumper but I like the look of the c4 hybrid bumper. Do any of you do that? Like have different brands products all mixed and matched? Or do you just stick to one brand?

    Different brands have different features and aesthetics. Do what makes you happy and meets your needs.

    I've got all-pro sliders, CBI skids, and Rago LCA skids. I'll probably end up with a gas skid from whoever makes a decent one for the long bed first. As well as I'm looking at two completely different companies for the front bumper and a third still for the rear.

    Yep. All Pro sliders, Mobtown skid, BAMF rear bumper. I've pretty much purchased based on where the deals are at or designs I preferred. I'd like them all to be the same brand, but in the end it's all pretty much just sheet metal and tubing with minimal branding, if any, so who cares.

    Tempted to get another companies name on my truck with a Relentless hybrid front.

    First............. truck looks great, beautiful set up. However, and not trying to offend you this is a serious question. You have a $40,000 truck, estimate $10,000 camper and you went with rough country suspension? I have always stayed away from RC and I have heard nothing but bad info on their cheap components. Is this something new?

    Yea I understand that. For sure valid question. I’ve heard the same thing but when I researched the vertex coils and shocks I’ve seen nothing but good things from keep forms etc. They are newer within the last 2 years or so. But I compared the specs and also warranty with king. If something goes wrong I have 3 years to test them. I know kings are great but after doing my research I decided to go with these. So far they are awesome, comfortable ride and awesome adjustment but time will tell.
