    Mine kepted rattling loose on the trails. I have it under the back seats just in case. With XM, iPod, and CDs I'll be ok for my 10 minute commute to work.[/QUOTE]

    Ha ha really? That's weird mine has been pretty stable so far.

    Great looking truck and I love your audio setup! I've been looking for an after market in dash nav unit. How difficult was it to install and hook up to the steering wheel controls? Also I wouldn't mind tagging along on a wheeling trip with you guys, I'm not to far in Chino Hills.

    Thanks man I actually didn't do the install myself. Wiring everything together is not a strong suit so I got a packaged deal from my local car stereo place. They did the video bypass and hooked up the stereo controls. The speakers rock and the stereo is pretty good though I hate how android isn't incorporated into it like apple but overall I really can't complain. Next time we do a meet up ill be sure to hit you up.

    Nicely done, I did the same thing with my exhaust and chopped it in the same place. Might remove the factory water heater for a flo or magnaflow. You're going to love how the rear rides and performs, no more back breaking hits on the overload leafs and the rear flexes pretty good on the trails. You shouldn't have any rub issues like I did when I went up to 285's.

    Yeah, I just took her out on a few trails and she rides so much better. I can actually hit some stuff at a decent speed plus I'm not scrapping up the rear bumper like I was before.

    It was a pita to level out but finally got them on. Still have to weld on the gussets so probably do that Friday. Yeah, I wasn't expecting to buy sliders so soon but couldn't pass it up.

    Nice looking truck form another Redlands local. Were those first couple offroading pictures in those Reche Canyon/ Loma Linda Hills?

    Is that the correct name for those hills? Reche Canyon sounds way better than "hills behind Hulda Crooks Park"

    Haha I think that's it, but your name for it is a little more descriptive. I always go in there off of Reche Canyon Rd. so that's just what I've come to call it!

    Andrew and a few locals including myself usually enter it from Mt. View. Fun little local spot. Welcome to the site.

    Yup those are the Reche Canyon Hills! It's really easy to enter off of Hulda Crooks Park thus the name. There's some fun little sections up there and just found a nice step climb that I want to tackle. So if your up for it let me know!
