    Dealer installed (running boards - part of purchase deal) Weather Tech (floor liners, headlight guards, bug shield); Vent Shade (rain guards, door sill protectors); Color matched body side molding; ARE color matched rear hatch; rubber bed and tailgate liner; Ranch Hand brush guard; SteelCraft Elevation rear bumper; 4" auxiliary running/stop/turn for place in bumper; led light to light up "SteelCraft" logo in bumper.
    Thank you. I have a Ranch Hand brush guard that is not tight between the brace and push bar. It is rusting. Started rusting after a month. The distributor wanted me to pay shipping to fix their crappy work. I'll just pull it off my '15 TACO and repaint it myself.

    Finally got my brake fluid flushed. Had to get a bit creative with how to run the chains for the universal adapter on my bleeder.

    While I was under there I determined that I will need to give ECGS some of my money for their front diff bushing. Also did the power steering fluid flush and got a new spare tire as the old one had some funky wear on the sidewall.

    Installed these a week ago; had to get the wiring harness to remedy flickering headlights. Looking to install a 24 inch light bar behind the grill instead of lower bumper, wondering if anyone had to get specific brackets. TIA

    Thought about it but would have to be beneficial like ordering bushings and Dom in quantity to bring cost down.
    I'll test my truck out on them and see how it goes. Maybe a future plan is in the works.

    Tried "clocking" my zerks on my TC upper arms to no avail. I even swapped them between arms and tried different positions. When they are tight, I can't get a grease gun on them. Already sent TC an email and they suggested clocking them.
    I need to grease them so I can get rid of the slight squeak that is there (yes, I greased them before assembly).

    Wonder if I could pick some up from a local hardware store and use those?

    Bought a pack of 10 from Grainger. Picking them up on Monday.

    you may be overtightening them or undertightening them. They are not bolts, they don't really need to be torqued to an exact specification. If they are snug and you can get the grease gun on them, you'll be fine

    Took the new 255/85 Coopers up to the local mountain with the dog today, went well, enjoyed the fresh air and great scenery.

    Prinsu!!! And finally finished my switch panel..... boogered up the door a bit on the corner but it doesn’t look terrible. I may pick another one up and redo it at some point. The rack install went way smoother than I thought it would. Hours of YouTube research probably helped

    Just took a picture of the drivers side. There are no rub marks so maybe all the noise I hear is from the TC bushings?

    picture is with the truck on the ground
