    I've replaced...... *cough* The LCAs, UCAs, Tie rod ends (inner/outer) Front Coils, Sway Bar end Links, Sway bar bushings and even a new damn Sway bar and my truck makes clicking/clunking noises still. I'll probably try body mount bushings next. Or radiator bushings

    I didn't necessarily have a click but I did have a noise up front when I went over speed bumps as well. The noise was more of a creaking but changed out the radiator bushings and all has been quiet up front. Unrelated to the noise I have also changed out sway bar end links, sway bar bushings, front struts and upper control arms.

    Probably should upgrade at this point, but whenever I'm looking into nice fogs I'm worried the amber won't match.. One thing the laminate has going for it, is that the amber matches the DRL's perfectly.

    When my truck was 4 years old, I had this random pop or clicking sound that would happen going over bumps on the driver's side. Drove me nuts. Long story short, it was the body mount near the driver's side foot rest. Without removing it, it looked fine and couldn't imagine it giving me a sound only 4 years in (not even 20K miles). Changed it out and it was gone. My mechanic used the chassis ear to hone in on the location, since the sound was reproducible going over a bump. Hope you figure it out.

    I did some aftermarket led fogs. The film held up great. I’m assuming the stock ones heat up?

    Chased down the vibration mine was getting on acceleration by changing carrier bearing and rear U-joint. Thinking about attempting valve cover seals and head gaskets as it’s chugging coolant and getting a little bit of oil in a few sparks..

    Was a bit nervous about taking the skinnies on the beach, but at 20psi and the diff locked they performed pretty damn well didn't get stuck or bogged down. First time in sand like this!
