Gonzo's 2013 MG DCLB TRD Sport

Well, this is this the first time I've posted a build thread for all the upgrades I've done on a vehicle but figured it is an easy place to list and archive what I've done.

My ride is a 2013 Magnetic Grey Double Cab Long Bed.

Thanks for sharing. Looks great. sub'd for updates.

 

Swapped the JL Audio 10W1 3-4 out for a JL 10TW3 today

 

Got my FLYZEYE installed

 

Swapped out the third brake light for a smoked led version

 

After swapping the third brake light out for a smoked led version yesterday, today I swapped the tails for a smoked version. The original OEM version is for sale if anyone is interested.






Bought here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Red-Sm...hts-Brake-Lamps-05-15-Left-Right/381829580009

 

To help with heat reduction, decided to tint the rear windows and back glass with 35% tint. Could have gone darker but wanted a decent blend with the 20% already on the front.

 

Looks great, How's the quality and where did you get it? If you don't mind me asking.

 

So far, so good. No leaking or causing leaks into the cab. It came with a new gasket.

Got here:

Right on, thats the one I was looking at. I saw it came with extra screws, washers, etc as well. Happy to hear it's good quality. I'll definitely be grabbing one of those. The last one I bought cracked, suddenly clouded out and the customer service is from hell. Really frustrating

 

Yeah, that sucks. It came with extra stuff and two types of screws. I ended up using the screws that looked like regular wood screws. The machined screw wouldn't work with the factory plastic hole thingy.

 

Took some pictures this morning to show the current look. Planning to get a 2.5" lift next week.

 

Install my TUFSKINZ accents and while I was at it, I changed my shifter indicator light to a Blue LED version. Lift tomorrow !

 

Got my lift done today. Front 5100 setting at 0, Rear 5100, OME 885, Rear MaxTrac 1.5" Cast Lift Block



Before/After

 

Upgraded tires to KO2 275/70/17 today

 

Any rub or issues with this setup? I have a similar lift and just ordered this same tire today.

 

Yes, at almost full lock you’ll rub the UCA on the opposite side from where you’re turning. Mud flaps are fine except small ones in front of the tires.

 

Installed a set of 4 bora .75 spacers, it fixed the rubbing issue.

 

truck looks great!
