    The tailgate power lock is a pretty easy install. I’d say the hardest part was getting the included grommet to seat nicely in the hole under the passenger front seat. You can use some soapy water to ease it in. I just used force lol.

    No, its pretty simple. The hardest part is getting the new 2 loom clamp to close which isnt really much of anything.

    Just took a look and it seems like this video covers everything.

    I found the routing of the wire along the bottom to be tedious, but not mentally difficult. The metal clips were just annoying

    Finally got off my butt and installed my Viofo A129 Duo dash cam.

    this pic just looks weirdly photoshopped to me. i think it's the odd sun angle combined with the camera flash. reminds me of those dealers that pay a cut-rate editor to photoshop car pictures over their store logo...

    also, your front drivers side tire looks low? or maybe it's just the grass

    The tires don’t even look low, it looks like the truck was photoshopped onto the grass lol

    No hate to the pic or poster, just looks funny.

    Look what came in the mail today :headbang:

    Fox 2.5 w/ Resi for the front

    Still going to be a couple weeks before the install since my Fox 2.5s for the rear are delayed and FedEx seems to have lost my AccuTune U-bolt flip kit :anonymous:

    It's the missing shadow. I'm guessing he used the magic eraser on a Google pixel.

    Thanks to @WarFab Armor the taco got some functional bling with the new Tie Rod Sleeves. Have to mention these did not fit the Moog Tie rods as they get a little thicker vs the stock ones on the inner side closer to the rack. Needed to remove about 1/16 off the ID. Will have the video up soon.

    Also changed the turn signal light sockets on the GX. The originals were toasted.
