    Let him suffer with stock tune at least for a little while so he can appreciate the OV tune. Nice truck OP!

    Congrats! This is the best place to find out about mods. Conversely it’s also the best place to empty your wallet. Have fun!

    I appreciate all the love from my fellow Taco Brotheren. Feel free to follow me on Instagram for more pictures of Yeti! @ehvyy
    I have my appt. for windows tint, tonneau cover, and remote start next week. New tires will be when I start my full time job post-graduation. I need some suggestions and links to pages for sliders.

    Very sweet truck.

    Congrats on pending graduation and entering the work force.

    You'll appreciate having a nice vehicle to drive on workdays and fun times on days off.

    I'm most likely going to address the window tint, too...at some point. Was holding off....but I think I'll have to do so.

    I'm wanting to add much brighter bulbs on my reverse lights and also replace the factory fog bulbs.

    I'm bolting on a set of budget faux sliders today made by Tyger Auto. If I had the funds, then I'd get a set from Mobtown & have them Rhino lined.

    Will be getting a set of Firestone MT2's on my truck within the next month....even though the factory tires have less then 5K miles on them, lol. I freaking love the look of the MT2's and have been a Firestone tire fan for decades.


    You've got a sweet ride. Enjoy it, bigtime. It'll last you forever.

    Do the easy first so you can ease your SO into your new "hobby"

    Lifted
    Plate bumpers FTW
    New tires cause stock are well no-bro
    Bro Pro stuff - as much as you can
    skid plates - cause you never know what you're gonna run over and better MPG.

    Amazon is where I bought mine. Search for Tyger Auto steps for your vehicle. I'll warn you, though....when you do a search based on filtering for your vehicle you will start drooling at all the cool stuff they can have at your doorstep in a couple days. The $$$$$ add up fast, lol.

    If I remember correctly, I ordered them on a Sunday.....and my son called me at work the following Wednesday to tell me a hyooooge & heavy box arrived for me.

    Very straightforward installation that went much easier using jack stands to line them up fairly close to position. My son used a creeper and ran the bolts in while I simply did the final placement based on his input.

    Congrats, my white 17' ORDC is very similar. My truck is mostly stock, but one of my minor mods I'm most happy with are the Rigid Ignite back-up lights I installed in the black plastic part of the rear bumper; those things are bright! Even when not off road; on streets and in parking lots, even in the daytime, there's no missing that you're backing up, and at night, they're much, much brighter than just the factory back-up lights, I wired mine parallel with the factory back-up lights.
