    Supposedly "no." I've got a link I'll post tomorrow. Mounted the rims tonight and we'll see how long it takes for the sensor to kick in.

    EDIT. Here's a pic of how the rubber looks. Drove 10 miles on highway/city and no TPMS light yet. The website from the McGee Company is https://tinyurl.com/ya4fpm2t Site gives the sensor, frequency, compatibility specs.

    EDIT 2. At 22 miles, the sensor light came on. Tires performing just fine. Sensor is incompatible. I'm keeping the wheels and tires.

    Really the only pink part is the backup lense and that's just so it doesn't stand out as much.

    There were 2 different runs on the non LED tails....'05-'08 and '12-'15. IMO the 2nd run version is less pink and much less susceptible to fading. My tails came from my '13 base and are 6 years old.

    Stainless + extended brake lines. Makes the brakes feel so much more solid even on the same pads, etc. Putting a z36 brake kit in next.

    Goes well with the other bling:

    Where did you get the mount for your 2nd battery sir? I would like one! My s/c takes too much space. Moving the battery would be great!

    It's the HF 1.5 ton race jack. Weighs 31 pounds. I keep it in the truck because it works for me, can be used on pavement and dirt, and is far less risky than the farm jacks a lot of folks carry. If you take a look, a lot of the Baja / Score rigs run sand tracks, shovel, and floor jack, not a hilift. Basically the entire business case for the company Pro Eagle. Worst case, my friend that comes with me on 99% of trips I'd need one already has one, so its more a capability expansion. I may get one in the future, but it doesn't suit my needs at the moment. Not saying my way is better, just that I feel more comfortable and safer using this system personally for myself, and for my truck. I've seen a few door panels caved in and windows smashed with a farm jack, but have yet to see that happen with a floor jack.

    Another plus is if a friend calls me that needs help with vehicle issues that owns, say, a subaru, I can help them out as well, and avoid using flimsy ass OEM scissor jacks.

    At work in the Utah scrub last weekend. Took me the same amount of time to deploy the jack, and pop the lugs and flat as it would have to just extend the farm jack to height safely. Must have ran over an old barbed wire fence or someone was burning pallets in the area. That hole was HUGE.
