    Finally got my all pro apex bumper primed, painted, and installed with rigid dually lights. Improved my offroad capabilities 10 fold easily! haha

    Broke both of mine the same spot doing some rock crawling in northeast Alabama a few months ago! Better the cage than the shaft. Easier to trail-limp out.

    That's a fact! Just wish the fuse in the system was easier to replace. There HAS to be a way to incorporate a sheer pin into critical points of the drive train.

    Ca really speak on the 2.5s. My coilovers are paired with all the long travel essential..ie new lowers an uppers. I do have to say that my truck rides like a cloud. Right around 12- 13 inches of travel. I wouldn't hesitate to buy ads products

    I would assume so. It must be pretty soft.

    Is it just an illusion or is his spare tire considerably larger than what's on his truck?

    Illusion. It's the factory spare. He will be getting all new ones that will fill out the tire carrier a little better.

    I'm pretty sure it is aluminium. I'll be going back to stock after I get enough wear on it.

    Can anyone recommend how to get this stuff off?
    The large pieces are 3M double-sided tape that I used when I took the badges off for the first time. If I had a heat gun or a blow dryer I feel it would be a ton easier to remove.

    I got a new (to me) 2003 Xtracab last week.

    This past weekend: Sat - new Kenwood stereo (touchscreen - I missed my bluetooth and iPhone/iPod connection) and speakers (front and rear). Replaced burned out dash bulbs with LEDs

    Sun: replaced all the fluids and filters

    Good to go now.

    Mine wasn't nearly as bad as that (I did it in 100 degree blaring sun temps).

    But I used the 3M decal eraser wheel on a drill (gets the adhesive off).

    Then Goo Gone and elbow grease.
