    Talk to me about the D Ring mod, I was just thinking today I’d prefer some eye rings to the factory cleats...

    They say 2"-3"
    I'm currently running a 2" block spacer in the front. Hoping to be a little higher than that.

    I have this mod...
    It's called "accidentally smash your back window". I don't really recommend it though.
    Sadly they needed to replace the entire rear window and not just a passenger pane.
    It was like $800 for the a window with slider or $500 for a solid window. Rarely used the slider anyway lol

    I think it looks fine with the solid window. I don't have many pictures where you can see the whole thing lol

    I jumped about 3 gears on mine on some washboards. Steering wheel is about 20 deg off center now and driving me nuts! Got remaned rack from cardone and moog outers and lower ball joints because they are grease-able. Just waiting on my rack bushing to install all of them.

    Yeah I've done that before. I went through two reman'd A1 cardone racks before I broke down and got an oem. If I manage to break this one too then I'm getting a tundra rack.

    I think as long as you like it, it's functional, and improves your safety, it's all good.

    SPC UCAs #25470 arrived today, they're nice and beefy. Getting things ready for a suspension upgrade. Amazon tells me these don't fit my 2015 but I am sure I've seen them used on 2nd gens. Right?

    I'm going to hit all these new parts with Sharkhide Metal Protectant. It's supposed to save your metal parts from corrosion, rust, salt, weathering, etc. Hopefully it does something because it wasn't cheap.
