    Added a battery holder from @Coupe. And replaced the cabin filter with a K & N filter. The old one was a bit dirty. Pics because everyone loves pics! :thumbsup::bananadance:

    Thanks! It's pretty awesome. The first one they made with a Hi-Lift mount.

    Please refer to build (click signature picture)
    You'll love that k&n. Its already saved me from having to buy a new $15 filter twice. So its paid for itself in a year

    I didn't know much about them either other than the Rancho name. I'll do a mini review:

    Pro's
    Easy Install (took about 2hrs total, no spring compressor or anything needed, basic metric hand tools)
    Easy adjustments since they have 9 settings
    Good quality thus far. seems like decent coatings
    I was able to get it aligned within specs no problem at all

    Con's
    None yet

    I can't speak of cost as I got them at cost and the fact that the vendor we use didn't carry any other options for my vehicle so had no reason to compare. I did dial them down a couple of clicks today and it was as simple as starting the truck and turning the wheels to each side to access the dial. I didn't even have to climb under it or get on the ground.

    I added a K&N cabin air filter a few months ago, and now I'm getting some real musty smells from the AC/heat. Anyone else experience this?

    If I have to do that every 2-3 months to keep it from getting funky, I call it a failed product.

    Mine smells smokey/like plastic every now and then but otherwise clean air. Nothing dank though. It's been in my truck a few months.

    what i've done today? beeped the door lock, havent driven her in a while.

    We got snow today, as this truck is only a few month old for me first time i saw it with some snow

    Things to do:
    Mount Snow Tires
    Install Pop&Lock Tailgate Lock
    Get Paint Recovery Detail - Got a little tree rubbing this summer.
    Also looking into getting either a 3M Protection Wrap or full body wrap.
