    everyone seems to love the 5100's and is incredible value for what you get. I personally have the Bilstein 6112's with 5125 rears and love them.

    That is a nice schedule. When I was in the hospital I did 3/12's and having all those days off was amazing. Now I am a 9 to 5er but from home, so trade offs

    Thanks for the info. This was a rabbit hole I was avoiding, but if I want to go to 33s (that's the plan after my current tires are sho), I think I'm going to need the lift.

    I told myself a simple lift and tires would be the only thing I ever do... what a lie that was

    I found this comment on the Amazon link:

    Tip for non-carpet / plastic trunk...
    By ThinkTank on Sep 18, 2021 Comes in a two pack of pocketed cargo nets. The two back sides of the nets are lines of the hook-rough-side of velcro & ONLY attaches to carpet. Problem is my CR-V trunk is plastic, not carpeted walls. From the Amazon suggestion "Frequently bought together", also got the $13 "Strenco 2 Inch Heavy Duty Adhesive Black Hook and Loop Tape" & used just the soft-loop-side of the velcro tape to attach nets to my trunk wall, which worked perfectly. Gave 4 stars...would have given 5 stars if it already came with the adhesive soft-loop velcro strips for optional use with non-carpeted to save me the extra hassle.

    When you’re working on a brand new truck and some confused individual asks you “what’s wrong with your truck, isn’t it new?”

    yeah. I know I'm going to end up doing more. the lift will probably be after winch mount and bed rack for over my softopper, but before getting 33s.

    It’s my Saturday.
    I do 3/16’s.
    I’ve done the 4/10’s, and they are nice too.

    I am 3 yrs 21k and live within 1 mile of the beach. I don’t undercoat either, you’ll be fine. Now the bolts nearest the drivers side cat is a different story strangely enough

    Mounted a desert does it front seat panel. Shot it with some green paint beforehand, probably add a flashlight next to the knife.

    I was looking at switch panels the other day and stumbled across these 3d printed panels on Etsy. They've got a few different designs depending on the year of the truck and the design layout needed...

    Funny you say that. I got a great deal in the same panels, but they are still sitting in the box. One day I’m ready to drill away, and the next I go - NOPE!

    Yeah, for me its all about resale value. Having little holes there is not ideal. And utility wise its not that important for me. I only have the truck a few years then ill sell and get a different one. ill just keep wearing it on my side instead of in a holder even though it would be nice
