How much screws did u have to use?

 

That's where I'm confused, shouldn't a blue LED turn a redish needle purple?

Looks great, just can't figure it out

 

had to strip the orange paint and paint the blue on for mine, probably the same deal for Miles

 

Gotcha! That's a lot of work

 

Yup, had to strip the orange paint with nail polish remover and sprayed it with sky blue paint. Not to bad couple hours of work.

 

yall missed some fun today

 

From the west side!

 

Made a thread on how I disabled my TPMS light here if anyone with a 2012 up was wondering how. I believe its the same from 08 up but not 100% positive on that.

I gave my dad my stock wheels, tires, and tpms sensors one month after I got my truck. So, finally, no more pesky light!

 

Running boards look great!
I miss them Hopefully I get my slider steps in soon.
I also just placed an order for bumpers too

 

Anyone on here running aftermarket wheels WITHOUT tpms inside them? Any disadvantages besides the light on the dashboard. Just got new wheels but I have the steelie stocks and was told that the tpms would not be a direct swap onto my new set. Heard a strap band kit would work but not sure if its recommended and cant afford to buy a new set of tpms right now. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahh.

 

I'm running aftermarket alloy wheels without the TPMS because I also had the stock steelies before. As you know the TPMS from the steelies don't fit alloys and you would have to purchase a different set to fit alloys. There isn't any disadvantages I can see besides having the light on the dash. However, I was getting annoyed with the light so I did the TPMS pipe bomb mod. I searched for the how-to on this site. It's pretty much a PVC pipe which you put the TPMS in and pressurize to simulate them being in the wheels. I just keep it in my tool bag in my truck but you could also strap it on to the frame or something with zip ties. After doing the mod and pumping the PVC pipe to 30 psi the light went off and it's been light free for months now and still going!!

edit: I also didn't want to use those strap kits because they just look kinda sketchy and unsafe and pain to change tires

 

Just an FYI for anyone who cares... group buy currently going on for LR -UCAs. I am getting in cause I missed the last one and will probably need them sooner than later.

 

Ohhh, awesome!

 

Thanks man! They're awesome! My girlfriend is so happy I got them too lol

 

You won't pass safety check...

Try this

 

Read two posts above yours, permanent fix.
Who really wants a pipe in your truck rattling around only for the batteries to die and get the light back on anyway, not worth the trouble if you ask me.

 

#imnotsayingimjustsaying you build it right padded inside you won't have the rattle and the batteries last quote a long time...and it's reversible

 

I understand, I just feel its not worth all the effort. Batteries are supposedly rated for 7-10 years.

 

I soo want to get in on the sale too

 

Question for those that have run 5100s - is there a big difference in the ride quality in 5100s and the stock bilstein sport package shock. mahalo.
