    Picked up the truck about 2 1/2 weeks ago.
    So far, I have gotten around to installing the soft topper and Swapping the tires for 255/85/16.
    Hopefully in the next month I will get around to installing new suspension and a bumper.

    The truck the day I picked it up.

    After I installed the softopper, I did a few day camp/surf trip in nor cal.

    Hopefully I will stay on top of the updates.

    Awesome man, I just got a white 2018 Off Road DCLB two weeks ago as well! Would you mind linking to the softopper you installed? I'm really digging it and looking for something to be able to sleep in during climbing trips.

    Would you mind taking a picture head on? I want to see how those tires look from the front. How do you think it would look with spacers?

    No clue about spacers, I never use them. I chose my build, based around the best for the kind of adventure's I do. Thats why I went with a taller thinner tire. I have a lift and a winch coming.
    I think most guys use or need spacers with a wider tire. I could be wrong, I dont't know much about them.

    Spot on. Spacers often cause balancing issues too and over time they wear the wheel bearings out quicker
