    I wish I had your optimism in humanity. But then I watch the news and know why I don’t want random people around the world knowing everything about me, which includes my license plate number.
    The person that tracks you down from the other side of the country because they don’t like a post you made in a truck forum is way scarier than the person locally that gets ticked off from you pulling off the road to let them pass because you are only going 5 MPH over the speed limit when they want to go 30 MPH over the speed limit.
    Of course if someone messes with me I can protect myself, but I can’t protect my family while I’m at work, so yeah, I blur my plate number online for many reasons.

    What part is plastic, the arm? Pic?

    I bought the short one, they have a longer one also. I've had it for a while now, the key hole cover seals up well. I gave it a shot of white lithium grease & I've had no issues with water, ice or dirt.

    I completely understand 99% of what you wrote. My online presence is locked down for that reason and d/t my profession. The 1%: If I saw your license plate, apart from knowing which state you were in, how could I use that information to track you down (assuming I’m not a cop, etc.)?

    I don't know about the US, but here in Ontario, Canada, our service Ontario's (I think it's called the DMV in the US) is actually a privately owned business with access to the ministry of transportation. So if I was a bandit that knew someone that worked there, or knew the owner, they could potentially give that information. I agree it's a crazy world out there... Just gotta be the best human beings we can :)

    A bunch..and no build thread!
    There are ways, for sure, some of them completely legal too.

    Just installed front Sumo’s. Hardest part was getting the control arms to drop low enough to give me the space to get them threaded in.

    265/65R17, XL 116T rating. Bit stronger than stock while being stock size. Black sidewall which I like. So far so good, they drove really smooth and quiet on the way home, we shall see how the long term goes. I’m glad I both downsized and ditched the E rated tires.

    Y’all and your fancy names for things and need to put OUs in everything like color ;) I love Canada. Anyway, the DMV is government and it would probably be easier to hack TW for someone’s IP than to get into the DMV system. Agree, just don’t be an asshole either way.

    That pic is a bad angle, they’re not always engaged. They are maybe 1/4” from touching on the inside. I just made a quick trip around town and haven’t noticed any difference yet.

    There are websites that for a fee you can do a plate lookup and find out the information in question. Heck, you can often track someone down with just a photo search these days.

    Ball joint spacers and lift blocks, am I doing it right?
    Swapped out the tail lights for a set of OEM pro lights. Getting rid of that little bit of chrome makes me feel a lot better.

    The stock tails are up for sale if anyone needs a set.

    So this all wasn’t today, but it was this week! Firstly installed the stinger heigh10 to replace my severely outdated entune unit. Install wasn’t that hard outside of working through the massive amount of wiring they send you. Not to mention this screen is massive compared to my old 5 inch screen.

    Then I installed the ARB twin compressor with the SLEE off-road mount. It’s tight quarters but man this thing mounts up tight! The worst part once again was wiring on this but only bc I used a CH4x4 switch instead of the supplied ARB switch.

    And lastly I popped in a throttle grenade and called it a week!

    I installed a front camera on my 2021 using a bracket that I 3D printed. Took me 5 tries to get the bracket right, about .25 in filament each print. About 45 minute each print.
