    Lol, looks good. I won't say anything bad about the tint. I'm going to do the same thing when it warms up because I'm not going to blow a couple hundred bucks on aftermarket lights when the OEM's work perfectly fine (once Meso finally gets the Stage 1 kits back in stock).

    To be quite honest, I’ve just gave it a look right now and the tint doesn’t hinder the red as much you’d expect! It’s already night time here in Cali. Haven’t given it a look during the day so I can get back to you on that but that’s my biggest concern at the moment. Had a cop follow me not too long ago and no ticket so I think I’m good? Given that Cali has “strict” laws. Hahaha.

    Exactly what I was thinking! Sliders are priority at the moment so I figured these films would do the job for now.

    It's the same logic I'm applying to the tag light situation. I could blow $85 on a kick ass wiring loom mod that disables the tag lights when I put the truck into reverse... or I could drop $7 on a couple pieces of black plastic that provide nearly identical visibility improvements. I'll keep that extra $78 for now.

    id get the Pro if there’s no dealer markup and if you can find one. I’m making a list of dealers marking up prices and taking my business elsewhere, just out of principle. “A man’s got to have a code”

    Got the KDMAX PRO tune. what a difference... I thought the 5.29's made a HUGE difference already but now with the tune on top of that it is just incredible. if anyone has thought about, or considering a tune absolutely do it.KDMAX Pro is amazing.

    Got the 265/75/16's with the method 305's in! Duratracs in C load. Literally could not be happier. Truck rides great, corners much better. I had rubbing on the front air dam so i took that off and I still get the occasional rub on the mudflaps i think so i will likely take those off to see if thats the culprit, and I will trim the return lip on the bottom of the front flaps if thats the case! These tires look so damn aggressive I have already gotten a bunch of compliments. If you are on the fence do it! I wish i had done it sooner! Stock suspension for now. Got the new method topo caps which are way more lowkey than I expected and I love em. Cheers!

    Well these showed up! What a perfect solution. No wiring, no relays, no crawling around under the truck. 5 min install and perfect!

    save $$, go OR. Unless you want/need crawl control, etc. fix up the OR. You’ll just have to drop $$ for leather if you want it.

    I do want a prinsu. But I’m worried about the wind noise. Can you update on how bad/good it is?

    Did you happen to have the prior version of the KD Max Tune? I currently have the premium aggressive tip in. I'm meeting with my dude on Wednesday to install the Pro Sport tip in with 5.29s and 35s. Curious on how and if you feel a difference between the 2 tunes.

    This is the first tune I've ever had done. I'm on 74lb 35's, 5.29's, and I chose the middle (normal) throttle spot on the pro tune. I'm still trying to get used to how much more responsive it is than no tune at all. I am definitely looking forward to driving it some more. I don't see myself wanting to change to the sport throttle mode only cause I drive like a sloth as it is so the normal is perfect.

    If the lead time on my sliders is correct, they should be getting shipped out soon. will be curious to see if that added weight will change the way it feels or if its not enough to make a difference. It's crazy how bad the truck was before the gears and tune together.... and how long i put up with it like that haha
