    Not defending anybody here as the situation is buggered, but it wasnt Mateo that did it. It was one of his camera people. I meet Mateo at a meet he had in my area and he was a very nice guy who created a decent company from nothing. People make mistakes, its only human. Regardless, he was involved and should be punished somehow.

    IDK whether he did it or not. All it is is his word. :notsure: The problem is even if he didn't do it, he allowed it to happen and then SHARED IT as if nothing was wrong with it. But we will keep this for somewhere else.

    The other day I turned in oil at an O’Reilly, they didn’t ask if I bought it there (though I did). But they made me go through some crazy paperwork process for the first time. Next time I will leave it on the counter and run.

    I feel like publicizing it on IG is on par with doing the deed itself.

    No, not exactly at 45, but 45mph or less according to the owners manual (and maybe some text in the truck in warnings); I'd have to look back over that. Or maybe I'm confusing having read that with what the salesman said, but something prompted that conversation. I'd be keen to find out I was wrong, for sure.

    I thought I'd read it in the truck, or perhaps in the manual. I know I discussed that with the salesman and perhaps he'd said it and I just thought I'd read it. I'm more than happy to be wrong. Hopeful even!

    Welcome to TW! If you are driving that many miles per day comfort is probably going to be more of a concern. Checkout the Bilstein kits from @HeadStrong Off-Road for smooth ride while also lifting the front of your truck.

    Tacticool mod

    Picked up a couple cheapy Molle pouches from eBay.

    upload_2019-3-13_22-14-18.jpg

    Added some nylon straps to the headrest covers.

    upload_2019-3-13_22-14-57.jpg

    upload_2019-3-13_22-17-15.jpg

    I transferred all the stuff from my first aid kit that sat in the rear door pocket into it.

    The pouch weighs practically nothing so I’m not worried too much about it hanging here. Plus the inside is backed with nylon as well.

    First aid is easily accessed now, but still outta the way.

    I need to do the passenger side one tomorrow.

    Also mocked up the Ride Rites to make sure I had all the parts.

    While that is true, what is also true is buying modifications that align with your future modifications. Identify your future goals, then make your purchase based on your goals. It's better to but once, not having to worry about future purchases. I went with 886 OME front coils because I KNEW I was buying an arb front bumper. That's an example. Unless in the future I go long travel, I'm good with my suspension.

    Got to be my most favorite mod. Changed the gauge lights to white led with stock red needles. Looks so good in person. And best of all took out the tpms led! F2F83DE3-DBB0-47D5-8384-B9FB56BB3F0E.jpgD067A46D-AC0D-4894-A2AA-1317453CE09B.jpg
